The problem it solves

Manually opening a page and taking a screenshot every time you need one is a small task that adds up, especially if another system needs it done automatically. You also don't want that capability exposed to probe your internal network.

Who it fits

Developers, marketers, or content teams who need on-demand screenshots of web pages inside another tool or app.

How it works

  1. A request comes in with a web address to capture
  2. The system checks that the address is safe and public, blocking anything that could target internal systems
  3. If it's safe, the page is captured as a screenshot
  4. The image and details are sent back to whoever made the request
  5. If the address was unsafe or invalid, an explanation is sent back instead
What you get

Screenshots ready the moment you need them

You get an instant screenshot of any web page you point to, safely checked before it's captured.

What you get

An instant screenshot of any public web page, delivered back to the requesting app or service.

What you need

A ScreenshotMachine API account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
