About Browshot
What is Browshot?
Browshot is a Screenshots as a Service platform that lets you take real-time screenshots of any live website. It provides a powerful and reliable API to capture web pages in various screen sizes and devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android, and PC. Instead of building and maintaining your own screenshot infrastructure, you integrate Browshot's API and get screenshots in seconds.
What problem does Browshot solve?
Developers and businesses often need to display website previews—for example, in link sharing, ads, or visual monitoring—but rendering web pages consistently across browsers and devices is complex and resource-intensive. Browshot removes that burden by offering a scalable, cloud-based solution. You avoid setting up headless browsers, managing device emulation, and dealing with timeouts.
Who is Browshot for?
Browshot is ideal for developers, SaaS platforms, and marketing teams that need automated screenshots at scale. It's not for individuals who only need an occasional screenshot—those can use a basic tool. Browshot shines when you require programmatic capture with multiple browser versions, device simulations, and features like direct S3 upload.
Real use cases
Common use cases include generating thumbnails for links or bookmarking services, creating visual regression tests, capturing website snapshots for monitoring, and producing previews for ad validation or content curation. The API is designed to handle high volume, having served over 147 million screenshots.
