About

CurlShot takes a screenshot of any website from top to bottom, as an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP) or a PDF. Pick how the page is seen (computer, phone or tablet), and ads and cookie pop-ups are hidden for you. No account is needed to try it; a free account gives 100 screenshots a month with no card. Developers get one simple screenshot API for full-page screenshots, website thumbnails, HTML to image or PDF, and Open Graph images.

The case

Who it is for

Developers who need screenshots or PDFs of web pages in their app, and anyone who wants a quick full-page capture without installing anything.

What is broken today

A full-page screenshot usually means scrolling and stitching by hand, or running and maintaining your own headless browser, and the result is often covered by ads and cookie pop-ups.

What it does about it

Paste a web address, choose whole page or just the top, computer, phone or tablet, image or PDF, and download the result. The same options work as a screenshot API: one HTTP request in, a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF out, from any language.

Why not the obvious alternative

Running your own headless browser means servers and upkeep. CurlShot is one address to call, nothing to install, and it hides ads and cookie pop-ups for you.

I maintain CurlShot. You can try it on the homepage without an account; a free account gives 100 screenshots a month, no card needed.
