Frequently Asked Questions

Our web screenshot api supports high-quality output in PNG, JPG, and WebP formats. You can specify your preferred image format within your API request.
Yes. Using our screen capture api, you have full control over what gets captured. You can define custom viewport dimensions to simulate specific devices, or you can pass specific CSS selectors to clip the image.
Generally, yes, but it depends on your use case. When you screenshot website pages for personal use, archiving, or fair use, it is typically legal. However, capturing and republishing copyrighted material, sensitive user data, or paywalled content for commercial gain without permission may violate copyright laws.
Manual capture is fine for personal use, but it doesn't scale. By implementing a website screenshot api, you completely automate the capture process. This allows you to generate thousands of thumbnails, archive web pages, or monitor competitor sites without maintaining headless browser infrastructure yourself. It saves your engineering team countless hours and ensures reliablity.
No, you do not need coding experience to get started! While developers can integrate our webpage screenshot api into their codebase, non-technical users have great options too. You can use our API Playground to take screenshot. For automating workflows, you can use no-code integrated apps like Zapier. We already have pre-built Zaps available.
