About Screenshotlayer
What is Screenshotlayer?
Screenshotlayer is a powerful screenshot API that captures perfectly rendered snapshots of any website. It solves the problem of programmatically generating website screenshots for developers, marketers, and businesses who need reliable, automated image captures without browser overhead.
Who is it for?
Ideal for developers building web monitoring tools, content aggregators creating link previews, and marketing teams automating social media visuals. It is not designed for manual screenshot taking or bulk non-API workflows.
Key Use Cases
Generate full-page thumbnails, create mobile viewport previews, inject custom CSS for branded screenshots, and export images directly to AWS S3 or FTP. Use cases include building preview images for news articles, monitoring competitor sites, or automating visual regression testing.
Key features

- Advanced Options — Set viewport dimensions, thumbnail sizes, capture delays, and inject custom CSS.
- Full-Page Screenshots — Capture entire pages regardless of length with one parameter.
- Rendering Engine — Faithfully renders CSS3, HTML5, Webfonts, SVG, and graphs.
- 256-bit HTTPS — Secure encrypted data streams for every API request.
- Export to S3 or FTP — Automatically upload screenshots to your own cloud storage.
