ScreenshotEngine is an API for capturing website screenshots quickly. It is aimed at developers and agentic workflows that need a clean capture from a single request, including cases where headless browser handling, ad blocking, and scaling are managed by the service.
Its API produces screenshots in milliseconds and can export results as images, scrolling website video, or PDF. Supported image formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The service can block ads, cookie banners, and popups before capture, and it supports full-page captures as well as element capture through CSS selectors. Other documented options include dark mode capture, a wait-before-screenshot setting, and custom watermarking with control over position, color, and transparency.
ScreenshotEngine exposes a REST API with GET and POST endpoints at /v1/screenshot, and the page shows example use with Node.js, Python, .NET, C, and cURL. It also includes a hosted MCP server that connects with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code, and it can be used through no-code platforms such as Zapier, Make, and n8n. The use cases named on the site include visual regression testing, SEO monitoring and SERP tracking, website archival and compliance, AI training data collection, social media previews, and competitor analysis.
The pricing section states that there is a free plan with 100 screenshots per month and no credit card requirement, and that paid plans start at $24 per month. The page also says v1.0 is now live.
