Compare Screenshot APIs

Screenshot APIs turn a web page or supplied HTML into an image or PDF; the key choices are capture controls and how the service fits your workflow.

Compare full-page capture, viewport size, wait conditions, HTML input, PDF output and geolocation. Check the platform and price, then use the API, open-source and free-tier marks to see how each option fits.

How to choose

What capture options do I need?

Start with the output and page controls your work requires. Compare full-page capture, custom viewport, wait conditions, HTML input, PDF output and geolocation.

A wait condition tells the service when to capture a page, which can matter when content appears after the page opens.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Check whether you need a web interface, an API, a browser extension, or an option for Windows, Linux or self-hosting. The listed platform marks help narrow the fit.

For example, Cloudflare Browser Rendering offers web and API access; CaptureKit lists web, API and extension platforms.

Can I use it for free, and what does it cost?

Check whether a free plan is available, then compare the paid starting price and billing terms shown for the tool. A free trial is different from an ongoing free plan.

For example, AddScreenshots has a free plan and a listed starting price of $3 per month. APIVoid Screenshot API lists a 30-day trial and pricing from $20 per month with annual billing.

Does it connect to my existing workflow?

If your app can send requests to a public API, an API-based screenshot service may fit. Check the tool's API mark and the maker's documentation for the connection details you need.

If you need to inspect or change the software itself, check its open-source mark and licence. Do not assume a free plan means the code is open source.
