-o capture.jpgHow to take a screenshot online
Online means this browser tab: no extension asking to read every page you visit, no desktop app, and nothing left behind on the machine you happen to be using.
- 1
Paste the address of the page
Any publicly reachable URL. The capture happens on our machine, in a real Chromium, so the page renders the same whether you are on a laptop, a phone or a locked-down work computer.
- 2
Say how the page should be rendered
The width sets the layout — 1280 for a desktop reader, 393 for a phone — and dark mode asks the page for its dark theme instead of inverting colours after the fact.
- 3
Take the screenshot
Consent banners are dismissed first, so the image is the page and not the cookie dialog. What you get is the visible page at that width, at full resolution.
- 4
Save it, or take the API call
The JPEG is the same file the API returns for these parameters — no watermark, no crop, no account. The call that produced it is printed underneath.
Questions
- How do I take a screenshot of a website online?
- Paste the address above and run it. The page is loaded on our side and photographed at the width you chose, so you get an image of the site as it renders — not of your own window, your tabs and your cursor.
- Does it capture the whole page or only what fits on screen?
- This one captures the visible page at the width you pick, which is what most people want for a preview or a thumbnail. For everything below the fold in a single tall image, use the Full Page Screenshot tool.
- Is the image watermarked?
- No. The file you get here is byte-for-byte what the API returns for the same parameters.
- Can I capture a page behind a login?
- Not with this tool — it has no way to carry your credentials safely. The API accepts cookies and an Authorization header for that.
Need this in your own code?
This tool is one call to the PageCapture API. The free plan gives you 100 captures a month with every feature unlocked, and no card.
