Use the Screenshot Output
GetScreenshot returns a screenshot URL and metadata that you can use in subsequent modules. Save to cloud storage, add to databases, send via Slack, and more.
Advanced Settings
Fine-tune your screenshots with powerful options
Device Scale Factor
Capture 2x or 3x resolution for retina-quality screenshots. Perfect for print materials or high-resolution displays.
Highlight Text
Automatically highlight specific words with a yellow marker. Great for drawing attention to key content.
Additional Wait Time
Add extra milliseconds for slow-loading content. Ensure JavaScript, animations, and lazy-loaded images are fully rendered.
Hide Elements
Use CSS selectors to hide unwanted elements like ads, popups, or chat widgets (e.g., .ads, #popup).
Hide Cookie Banners
Automatically detect and hide cookie consent dialogs for cleaner screenshots without manual configuration.
Custom CSS & JavaScript
Inject custom styles or run JavaScript before capture. Modify layouts, fill forms, or interact with the page.
Wait Until Options
Choose when to consider the page loaded: DOM ready, network idle, or strict network idle for complex SPAs.
Webhook URL
For long-running captures, provide a webhook URL to receive results asynchronously and avoid timeouts.
