Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution and formats do you support?
We support custom resolutions up to 4K (4096×2160), and output formats include PNG, JPEG, WebP, and PDF. You can control quality, compression, and transparency settings.
How do you handle JavaScript-heavy sites and SPAs?
Our Chromium-based engine fully supports modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte. We wait for network activity to settle and DOM to stabilize before capturing.
Can I screenshot pages behind authentication?
Yes! You can pass custom headers, cookies, or basic auth credentials. We also support session management for complex authentication flows.
What is your success rate and average response time?
We maintain a 99.9% success rate with average response times of 1-3 seconds for most websites. Complex pages with heavy JavaScript may take 5-8 seconds.
Do you provide webhooks or batch processing?
Webhooks are available on Pro and Business plans. We're also working on batch processing for multiple URLs at once — join our newsletter for updates!
