Browshot review
Flexible web capture for developers who need automation, scale, and browser controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Browshot is a cloud screenshot service for developers and teams that need real-time captures of web pages across desktop and mobile browser configurations. It combines a web dashboard with a REST API, open-source client libraries, and command-line access. Capture options include screen and full-page modes, custom browser viewport dimensions, thumbnails, PNG or JPEG output, public sharing links, and automatic hosting through S3 or Browshot. It is aimed at automated website capture rather than general desktop screenshot workflows.
Pricing uses pay-as-you-go credits instead of conventional recurring plans. The 10-credit pack costs $1, the 60-credit pack costs $2, the 300-credit pack costs $5, the 1,000-credit pack costs $10, the 3,000-credit pack costs $25, the 8,000-credit pack costs $50, the 20,000-credit pack costs $100, and the 45,000-credit pack costs $200. Free browsers support up to 100 screenshots per month. This structure suits projects with variable capture volume, while premium and private browser pricing follows a different model from the listed credit packs.
For technical workflows, Browshot’s strongest area is browser-controlled capture. Desktop and mobile virtual browsers, viewport controls, JavaScript execution, browser automation steps, batch and multiple-URL requests, and domain-crawl requests support more than one-off screenshots. Amazon S3 integration adds an external hosting option, while Browshot hosting and public links support distribution. Choose it when web capture needs to run through an API or repeatable automation process. A tool centered on broader desktop capture may be a better fit for teams whose primary need is capturing local applications or non-browser content.
