Device Emulation

Capture as iPhone 15 Pro, iPad, Pixel 7, or any custom viewport. Perfect for responsive testing and social previews.

Smart Caching

"Replaced 200 lines of Puppeteer code with one API call. Cached responses come back in under 100ms. Worth every penny of the $9/month."

"We generate 8,000 link previews a day for our social platform. Tried building it ourselves first, spent two weeks fighting Chromium memory leaks. SnapRender just works."

"The MCP server is a game changer. My Claude agent can actually see what's on a webpage now instead of guessing from the HTML."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about SnapRender.

How does the screenshot API work?
Send a GET request with your target URL and API key. SnapRender renders the page in a real Chromium browser, captures the screenshot, and returns the image binary. It's a single HTTP call: no browser setup, no infrastructure to manage.
What formats are supported?
PNG, JPEG, WebP, and PDF. You can control output quality for JPEG and WebP (1–100), and capture full-page scrolling screenshots in any format.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 500 screenshots per month with all features enabled, no credit card required. All API parameters (device emulation, dark mode, ad blocking, etc.) work on every plan.
How fast are screenshots?
Fresh screenshots typically take 2–5 seconds depending on the target page. Cached screenshots return in under 200ms. Smart caching with configurable TTL means repeated requests are nearly instant.
Do you have SDKs?
Yes. Official SDKs for Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, and Ruby. The API is also a simple REST endpoint that works with any HTTP client.
Can I capture mobile screenshots?
Yes. Use the device parameter with presets like iphone_15_pro, pixel_7, or ipad_pro. This sets the correct viewport, pixel density, user agent, and touch support automatically.
Can AI agents use SnapRender?
Yes. We offer an official MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that lets Claude Desktop and Claude Code capture screenshots natively. Just run npx snaprender-mcp with your API key. We also provide an OpenAPI spec and a response_type=json mode for any AI tool integration.
