Our verdict on ScreenshotCore
ScreenshotCore is a hosted REST API for developers who need to render public URLs, supplied HTML, or Markdown without operating browsers. It returns captures as PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, MP4, WebM, or GIF, with controls for full-page scrolling, viewport and device emulation, and pixel density. That combination suits teams building capture into applications or automated workflows; it is more specialized than a general-purpose browser platform.
The seven-day trial includes 300 screenshots, 50 videos, full API access, and does not require a credit card. After the trial, Starter costs $8 per month for 5,000 screenshots and 150 videos, while Pro costs $25 per month for 20,000 shared screenshots and videos. Max costs $65 per month for 60,000 shared screenshots and videos and adds priority support. Each paid tier lists HTML and Markdown input, PDF, PNG, JPEG and WebP output, full-page capture, and asynchronous webhooks. The published pricing page mentions annual billing with a 20% saving, but gives monthly prices here.
Capture controls are a notable strength: requests can wait for network idle, selectors, or fixed delays; inject JavaScript and CSS; click, hover, or scroll elements; emulate geolocation and display settings; and block ads, trackers, cookie banners, or chat. Signed requests and CDN caching complement asynchronous jobs and signed webhooks. Zapier, Make, Amazon S3, Node.js, and Python integrations provide workflow and development options. Choose ScreenshotCore when rendering flexibility and multiple output formats matter; look elsewhere if the need is an ongoing free tier or a narrower, simpler capture service.
