Buyer questions
What is ScreenshotEngine?
ScreenshotEngine is a high-performance API that captures pixel-perfect screenshots of any website in milliseconds. It automatically runs headless browsers for you, blocks ads and cookie consent banners, and returns clean captures from a single API call.
What image and file formats are supported?
ScreenshotEngine outputs WebP, PNG, and JPEG images, full PDF documents, and WebM scrolling videos. WebP is recommended for images as it offers the best balance of quality and file size.
Does it block ads and cookie banners?
Yes, ScreenshotEngine automatically removes intrusive ads, cookie consent banners, and popups before capturing, so your screenshot shows the actual page content without overlays.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free plan includes 50 screenshots per month at no cost and requires no credit card. Paid plans start at $24/month and scale up to 60,000 screenshots per month.
Can AI agents use ScreenshotEngine via MCP?
Yes. ScreenshotEngine runs a hosted Model Context Protocol server. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code connect with a single config line and get a take_screenshot tool that returns vision-ready images with ads and cookie banners removed. Protocol calls are free—only successful captures count toward your quota.
