Take a clean screenshot of any website at desktop, laptop, tablet or phone size. Paste a URL and get the first screen, or the whole page, as a PNG, JPEG or WebP, with cookie banners, ads and chat widgets taken out. Free, with no sign-up.
Example: the first screen of our home page at desktop size.Example: the first screen of our home page at desktop size.
The first screen is what a visitor sees before scrolling, often called the part above the fold. Each device opens the page with that device's screen size, pixel density and browser identity, so you get the layout its visitors actually get, not a shrunken desktop page.
| Screen size | Pixel density | Image size | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 1920 × 1080 | 1× | 1920 × 1080 px |
| Laptop | 1440 × 900 | 1× | 1440 × 900 px |
| Tablet (iPad Pro 12.9″) | 1024 × 1366 | 2× | 2048 × 2732 px |
| Phone (iPhone 14 Pro) | 393 × 852 | 3× | 1179 × 2556 px |
Choose Whole page to keep going below the first screen. The image then grows as tall as the page, up to the limits in the full-page tool.
The format decides the file size far more than the page does. Here is our own home page captured with this tool, at desktop size, in each format.

Captured on 15 October 2026. JPEG and WebP at quality 85, the tool's setting.
Lossless: every pixel exactly as rendered, so small text and thin lines stay crisp. The right choice for design reviews, bug reports and documentation, and the largest file.
Opens anywhere, including old email clients and office software. It is made for photos, so sharp text edges can show faint smudges. A third of the PNG's size here.
The smallest by far, a fifth of the PNG here, with text that stays clean at this quality. Every current browser shows it, which makes it the best choice for pictures on web pages.
For a quick picture of what is on your screen right now, the built-in keys are the fastest way. These are the steps from each maker's own help pages.
Windows 10 and 11

Yes, with no account and no watermark, up to 20 captures a day. To capture from your own code, the API's free plan includes 20 screenshots a month.
No. The image is sent straight to your browser and not kept. Our server logs record the page's address and your IP address and browser (and the options you chose, if a capture fails), to stop the free tool being abused.
Sites can change what they show by visitor: your location and language, whether you are logged in, what you accepted in a cookie banner, and which test version you were given. Our browser is a new, logged-out visitor connecting from a data center, so it can see a slightly different page.
Tablet and phone captures are already at 2× and 3× density. Desktop and laptop are at 1×. The API can capture at a higher density, and at sizes up to 3840 × 2160, on the Pro plan.
Not with the free tool. The API's dark mode option, on paid plans, renders a page dark even when the site only ships a light theme.
Yes, through the API: website time-travel finds the Wayback Machine's copy of a site for each past year or month and screenshots it.
The free tool takes one page at a time. With an account, the batch endpoint captures up to 100 URLs in one job and returns them together.
One API call returns the same clean capture for any URL, at any of these sizes or your own. Use it for link previews, reports, directories and anything else that needs pictures of web pages. The free plan includes 20 screenshots a month.
