The problem it solves

You have a long list of websites to check visually, and opening each one, taking a screenshot, and saving it by hand takes forever. Keeping the files organized and letting your team know when they're done adds even more busywork.

Who it fits

Marketers, web teams, or QA staff who need to monitor how web pages look on a regular basis.

How it works

  1. You add a spreadsheet of URLs to a designated Drive folder
  2. The system reads each URL from the sheet
  3. It captures a screenshot of every website automatically
  4. The screenshots are saved into the same Drive folder
  5. You get an email with a link once everything is ready
What you get

Screenshots that show you how pages actually look

You get automatic screenshots of every site on your list, collected in one folder and delivered by email when ready.

What you get

A folder of website screenshots plus an email notification when they're complete.

What you need

A Google Workspace account (Drive, Sheets, Gmail) and a ScreenshotOne 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.
