## About

CurlShot is a screenshot API: one HTTP request turns a web page into an image, a PDF or a video. Send a URL, your own HTML, or Markdown and get back a PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, or an MP4, WebM or GIF of the page scrolling from top to bottom. Pages render in a real browser.

It is built for developers who need link previews, Open Graph images, visual checks across phones and desktops, or PDF archives, without running headless browsers themselves. Cookie banners, ads and chat bubbles are removed before the capture, lazy images are loaded, and you can capture one element by CSS selector. AI agents connect through the built-in MCP server.

There is a free plan with 100 screenshots a month and no card. Paid plans start at $19 a month. Failed renders and cache hits are free.
