Screenshot Scout is a screenshot API for developers that captures clean, production-ready screenshots of any URL with a single HTTP call. It automatically removes cookie banners, chat widgets, ads, and other overlays. Choose device emulation, customize the viewport, or capture full pages, specific selectors, or a page area. Before capture, you can hide or click elements, choose request location, inject custom CSS or JavaScript, and toggle dark mode. No SDKs required.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Inject custom CSS into any page before Screenshot Scout captures it, so you can hide elements, override styles, or force a clean visual state without touching the live site.
  2. Pass your CSS through a single API parameter and get back a pixel-perfect screenshot that reflects exactly the styles you injected, no browser automation setup needed.
  3. Useful for capturing pages in a specific brand theme, removing distracting UI components, or testing how a redesign looks before pushing it to production.
  4. Combine CSS injection with Screenshot Scout's built-in cookie banner and widget removal so your final image is clean from both automated filters and your own custom rules.
  5. Works alongside other capture options like dark mode, selector targeting, and JavaScript injection, giving you full control over the page state before the shutter fires.
