FAQ
Is this tool really free?
Yes! Our web tool is completely free. For automated/API access, we offer a free tier of 100 requests per month, with paid plans for higher volumes.
How does it work?
We render the target URL in a headless Chromium browser on our servers, capture a screenshot, and return the image to you. This means JavaScript, CSS, and dynamic content all render correctly.
Can I capture password-protected pages?
Our free tool captures publicly accessible pages only. The Business API plan supports custom headers and cookies for authenticated page captures.
What about mobile screenshots?
Set the viewport width to 375px (iPhone) or 768px (iPad) to capture mobile or tablet views of responsive websites.
