CurlShot

CurlShot gives your app, your scripts and your AI agents a clear look at any web page.

ONE REQUEST
Send a page address, HTML or Markdown to one endpoint and get back an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP), a PDF, or a scrolling video (MP4, WebM, GIF). No SDK: anything that can fetch a URL already works, and the docs have examples for cURL, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go and Ruby.

WHAT PEOPLE BUILD WITH IT
- Link previews and website thumbnails
- Open Graph images rendered from HTML templates
- Visual checks of pages across phones, tablets and desktops
- PDF archives of web pages for records and compliance
- Reports and certificates from Markdown or HTML
- AI agents that need to see a page, through MCP

DETAILS THAT SAVE TIME
Cookie banners and ads hidden before the capture. Lazy images loaded. Dark mode on request. Wait for a selector, click a button, inject CSS. Cache results and reuse them for free. Signed links so a key never appears in your HTML. Async jobs, webhooks and bulk runs of up to 100 pages.

WHO IT IS FOR
Developers adding previews or PDFs to a product, teams automating reports and checks in n8n or their own scripts, and builders giving AI agents a way to look at web pages.

PRICES
A free plan with 100 screenshots a month and no card. Paid plans have a fixed monthly price: $19, $79 or $249. Yearly billing gets 2 months free. 14-day money-back guarantee.

What problem it solves

Running headless browsers in production is fragile: cookie banners, lazy images, timeouts, memory and queues. Developers who need screenshots, PDFs or page videos in their apps, pipelines or AI agents get them from one HTTP request instead.

Alternatives & competitors

An alternative to running Puppeteer or Playwright yourself, and to other screenshot APIs.
