Full Page Capture and Element Targeting

Capture exactly what you need with pixel-perfect precision. BoltShot allows you to take full-page screenshots that automatically scroll and stitch together the entire length of any website. Alternatively, use CSS selectors to target and capture specific elements like a product image, a chart, or a headline. This granular control means you never waste time cropping or editing screenshots after capture.

Device Emulation and Custom Viewports

BoltShot makes responsive design testing effortless. Emulate any device with built-in presets for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports. You can also set custom viewport dimensions to test specific screen sizes. This feature is essential for developers who need to verify how their sites look across different devices without maintaining a physical device lab or complex testing infrastructure.

Clean Capture Technology

Say goodbye to clutter. BoltShot automatically blocks advertisements, removes cookie consent banners, and eliminates intrusive popups and overlays from your screenshots. This clean capture technology ensures every screenshot you take is professional, distraction-free, and ready for immediate use in presentations, reports, or marketing materials. No more manual editing to remove unwanted elements.

E-commerce Product Previews

E-commerce teams can use BoltShot to automatically generate high-quality screenshots of product pages for use in catalogs, comparison charts, and social media promotions. By capturing clean, ad-free images of products with full-page views, businesses can create consistent visual assets at scale without manual screenshotting. This streamlines the entire content creation pipeline for online stores.

Automated Reporting and Dashboards

Data teams and analysts can integrate BoltShot into their reporting workflows to capture real-time screenshots of dashboards, charts, and data visualizations. These captures can be automatically included in daily, weekly, or monthly reports sent to stakeholders. With smart caching and fast API responses, BoltShot ensures reports are always up-to-date without overwhelming your infrastructure.

Web Archiving and Compliance Monitoring

Organizations needing to maintain records of web pages for legal, regulatory, or historical purposes can rely on BoltShot for reliable archiving. The API captures full-page screenshots with timestamps, ensuring an accurate visual record of any URL at any point in time. With features like stealth mode and custom headers, BoltShot can capture pages that might otherwise block standard bots.

Continuous Integration and Visual Testing

Software development teams can integrate BoltShot into their CI/CD pipelines to automatically capture screenshots of web applications after each deployment. This enables visual regression testing, allowing teams to quickly identify unintended layout changes or broken elements. BoltShot's device emulation ensures tests cover mobile, tablet, and desktop views, catching issues before they reach production.

What output formats does BoltShot support?

BoltShot supports four high-quality output formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP, and PDF. You can specify your desired format as a parameter in the API request. This flexibility allows you to choose the best format for your specific use case, whether you need a transparent PNG for design work, a compressed JPEG for speed, a modern WebP for web optimization, or a PDF for document generation.

How does BoltShot handle cookie banners and ads?

BoltShot includes built-in clean capture technology that automatically detects and removes cookie consent banners, advertisements, popups, and other intrusive overlays. This happens seamlessly during the capture process, so you receive a clean, professional screenshot without any manual editing. The technology is constantly updated to handle the latest web patterns.

Can I capture specific parts of a webpage?

Yes, BoltShot allows you to capture specific elements on a page using CSS selectors.

This is perfect for capturing product images, specific charts, headlines, or any other discrete component of a webpage.
