Why ScreenshotFreeAPI

Teams outgrow screenshots before they realize it.

A screenshot starts as a one-liner. Then product previews, app audits, customer reports, regression evidence, competitor monitoring, and PDF exports all need the same thing: a capture system that behaves like infrastructure.

ScreenshotFreeAPI closes that gap with one async API, SDK-first docs, job visibility, webhooks, storage, billing controls, and admin tooling.

How it works

A capture flow built like production infrastructure.

ScreenshotFreeAPI returns a job ID in milliseconds, processes captures in isolated workers, then delivers results through polling, webhooks, and storage.

01

Submit

POST a URL, selector, HTML string, bundle ID, or video recipe. Get a job ID back in under 200ms.

02

Process

ScreenshotFreeAPI isolates the browser context, runs policy checks, and completes the capture in a worker.

03

Deliver

Poll for the result, receive a webhook event, or route the file directly to your storage layer.

Services

Every capture format. One API.

Web, mobile, PDF, HTML, video, webhooks, custom storage — all routed through the same async job pipeline.

Production controls

Run jobs without running browsers.

Queues, retries, SSRF protection, signed URLs, custom storage, API keys, billing limits, and webhook delivery wrap the capture engine.

ASY

Async by default

Every capture returns fast with a job ID, then updates through polling or webhooks.

PWR

Built on Playwright

Workers isolate every browser context and keep screenshots stable under load.

VIS

OpenRouter vision

Natural-language targeting uses model routing without locking the product to one provider.

SDK

SDK-first DX

The Node SDK wraps captures, polling, billing, teams, monitors, and typed errors.
