About
screenshotlayer API is a website screenshot service that accepts a target URL and returns rendered screenshots as image URLs. The API supports PNG, JPEG, and GIF output, with options for full-height captures, thumbnails, custom viewport sizes, user-agent and Accept-Language headers, CSS injection, capture delay, caching controls, and export to AWS S3 or FTP.
The free plan includes 100 monthly snapshots with full customization and WebP support up to 70%. Paid plans increase the monthly snapshot allowance and add features such as Retina/2x support, higher WebP quality, dedicated workers, and export options.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and does not require a credit card, but it is capped at 100 snapshots per month. Compared with the $19.99 Basic plan, the free allowance plus included customization and delivery features is roughly a small starter slice of the paid offering, so about $2/month is a defensible buyer-side value.
What's included in the free tier
- 100 monthly snapshots.
- CDN support for snapshot storage and retrieval.
- Lightning-fast snapshot delivery.
- Advanced features included.
- Full customization included.
- WebP output support up to 70% quality.
- 256-bit HTTPS encryption.
