Frequently Asked Questions

How does the website screenshot tool work?

We use a real browser (Chromium) running on our servers to load the URL, render the page including JavaScript, and capture a screenshot. The result is exactly what a real user would see in their browser.

What is the resolution of the free preview?

The free tool returns a 400px-wide thumbnail preview. For full-resolution screenshots up to 3840x2160, sign up for a free API key (50 requests/month, no credit card required).

Can I use screenshots commercially?

Screenshots generated via SnapAPI are yours to use. We do not watermark API screenshots. The free tool preview includes a faint watermark overlay.

How do I take a screenshot via API?

Send a POST request to /api/screenshot with your API key and the target URL. You can specify viewport size, format, and full-page mode. See the documentation for full details.

Does it handle JavaScript-heavy pages?

Yes. We use a full Chromium browser with networkidle wait strategy, so Single Page Applications (React, Vue, Angular) render completely before capture.
