Introducing RenderScreenshot

We're excited to launch RenderScreenshot, a screenshot API built for developers who need to capture web pages without the hassle of managing browser infrastructure.

Why We Built This

Every developer has faced the challenge: you need screenshots of web pages for social cards, documentation, testing, or automation. The options are either spin up your own headless browser infrastructure (complex, expensive) or use services that feel like they were built for marketers, not developers.

We wanted something different:

• Simple API - One endpoint, sensible defaults, comprehensive options when you need them
• Developer-first - Great documentation, predictable pricing, no sales calls required
• Fast and reliable - Edge computing for low latency, intelligent caching to avoid redundant renders

What You Can Do

RenderScreenshot handles common use cases out of the box:

Social Cards

Generate Open Graph images for your content dynamically:

curl "https://api.renderscreenshot.com/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&preset=og_card" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rs_live_..."

Documentation Screenshots

Capture your app's UI for docs with device emulation:

curl -X POST "https://api.renderscreenshot.com/v1/screenshot" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rs_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://app.example.com", "device": "macbook_pro_14"}'

Batch Processing

Need screenshots of multiple pages? Send them all at once:

curl -X POST "https://api.renderscreenshot.com/v1/batch" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rs_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://example.com/page1", "https://example.com/page2"]}'

Built on Solid Foundations

RenderScreenshot runs on:

• Cloudflare Workers for edge computing and browser rendering
• Cloudflare R2 for fast, global screenshot delivery
• Ruby on Rails for rock-solid business logic

This architecture means your screenshots are captured close to where they're requested and delivered from a global CDN.
