Website capture

Turn webpages into visual outputs

Website capture is the process of turning a live webpage into a visual asset your application, report, dashboard, or workflow can use — full-page screenshots, viewport captures, and website preview images.

Full-page screenshots

Best when you need to capture the entire length of a webpage, not just what appears in the first viewport.

Viewport screenshots

Best when you need to capture how a page appears at a specific browser size.

Website previews

Best when you need visual website snapshots for reports, dashboards, audits, or preview workflows.

Web capture APIs

Best when your product needs to capture webpages automatically instead of relying on manual screenshots.

Screenshot tools

Best when you need to take a screenshot of one website quickly without writing code.

Visual page records

Best when you need a visual snapshot of a webpage for audits, reports, monitoring, or client deliverables.
