Screenshot automation replaces manual screen captures with API calls that run on schedule, on deploy, or on demand. The guides below cover everything from your first request to calling the API from your own worker or CI pipeline. Start with Getting Started, then add concurrency that fits your plan limits.
Capturing screenshots at scale requires careful attention to caller-managed caching, viewport configuration, and request concurrency. These guides cover avoiding redundant captures and optimizing image output size while respecting documented rate limits.
Visual regression testing catches UI bugs that unit tests miss — broken layouts, overlapping elements, and styling regressions. These guides cover baseline captures, pixel-diff comparisons, and screenshot assertions in your existing test suite. Optional cleanup can remove selected banners, ads, and popups before capture.
Professional screenshots drive engagement in marketing materials, social media posts, and product documentation. These guides cover using device mockups to present your product in iPhone, MacBook, and browser frames, generating dynamic OG images for social sharing, and using AI cleanup to remove distracting page elements. Learn how teams use Screenshotly to produce marketing assets at scale without a design team.
API key management, HTTPS-only communication, and proper error handling are critical for production screenshot workflows. These guides cover how to rotate API keys safely, stay within configured usage limits, handle authentication for capturing protected pages, and follow security best practices that keep your integration safe and reliable.
