About This Tool
Render a webpage in a headless Chromium browser and return a base64-encoded PNG screenshot. Supports full-page capture (entire scrollable area) or viewport-only mode.
Configure viewport width and height, device pixel ratio for retina/HiDPI capture, dark mode emulation, and a post-load delay to let JavaScript-rendered content finish rendering.
Why Use This Tool
- Link Previews — Generate thumbnail previews for URLs shared in your app — social cards, bookmarks, or link embeds.
- Visual Monitoring — Capture periodic screenshots of key pages to detect layout regressions or unexpected content changes.
- Archival — Take versioned snapshots of web pages for compliance, legal records, or historical reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this execute JavaScript?
Yes — the page is rendered in a real Chromium browser, so all JavaScript, CSS, and web fonts are fully executed.
How large can the screenshot be?
Viewport width up to 3840px and height up to 2160px. Full-page mode captures the entire scrollable height regardless of viewport.
How do I capture a page that needs time to load?
Use the delay parameter (0-30 seconds) to wait after the page's networkidle event before capturing.
