Generate screenshots with one simple API call, without managing browser clusters or dealing with complex edge cases.
BoltShot is a screenshot API that turns any URL into a high-quality image with a single API call. It eliminates the need to manage browser clusters, Puppeteer scripts, or complex headless Chrome setups. Developers can integrate screenshot generation into their workflows in minutes, not days.
Capture screenshots at any screen size—mobile, tablet, or desktop—with pixel-perfect precision. Full-page captures automatically scroll through entire pages, while element targeting lets you use CSS selectors to capture specific components. Custom viewports give you complete control over the output dimensions.
BoltShot automatically removes cookie banners, blocks ads, and eliminates modal popups and overlays. This ensures every screenshot is clean and professional without manual editing. The result is a distraction-free image that focuses on the actual content.
Screenshots are uploaded to S3 storage and delivered via a global CDN with response times under 100ms. Smart caching reduces redundant captures, saving both time and API credits. The system boasts a 99.9% success rate, so you can rely on it for production workloads.
Choose from PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF output formats. Stealth mode helps avoid detection by websites that block automated screenshot tools. Custom headers, geolocation, and user agent settings give you fine-grained control over how each capture behaves.
"We were maintaining our own Puppeteer setup and it was a nightmare. Switched to BoltShot and haven't looked back. Just works, and I don't have to babysit headless Chrome anymore."
This quote from a real user captures the core value proposition. BoltShot removes the operational burden of managing browser infrastructure. Instead of debugging flaky headless Chrome instances or handling edge cases like cookie banners and popups, you get a reliable API that handles all of that automatically.
You need to generate screenshots programmatically and want to avoid the complexity of maintaining your own browser automation setup. BoltShot is especially valuable if you're tired of dealing with broken Puppeteer scripts, inconsistent rendering, or the overhead of scaling headless Chrome across multiple servers. The free tier with 100 screenshots and no credit card requirement makes it easy to test before committing.
