What CurlShot is
An HTTP API that turns a web page, a piece of HTML or a Markdown document into a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF file, or records it scrolling as an MP4, WebM or GIF video, rendered in a real browser on its servers. A capture can cover the whole page, show it as a phone or tablet would, and hide ads and most cookie pop-ups first; failed renders and cached results do not count against a plan's monthly allowance. AI agents can use it through an MCP server. The free plan covers 100 screenshots a month; paid plans set a fixed number of screenshots a month.
