PeekShot is a website screenshot and HTML‑to‑image platform that automates the process of capturing screenshots from URLs or rendering raw HTML into images. Whether you're a developer building automated workflows or a marketer creating visual content, PeekShot provides the tools you need to capture, organize, and automate website screenshots at scale.
What Does PeekShot Do?
PeekShot enables you to:
Capture screenshots of public URLs or render raw HTML into images
Organize images into projects and manage them centrally from a dashboard
Automate captures with scheduled jobs (daily, weekly, or monthly)
Integrate via API and webhooks for programmatic usage in your applications
Manage billing, credits, and coupons from a centralized dashboard
Raise and track support tickets directly inside the product
You can access PeekShot through the dashboard (web app) for visual, no-code workflows, or through the public API for developers who want to integrate screenshot automation into their systems.
Key Features
URL Screenshots
Capture live web pages by simply providing a URL. PeekShot loads the page, renders it, and returns a high-quality screenshot in your preferred format (PNG or JPEG).
HTML to Image
Render raw HTML code directly into images. This is perfect for generating dynamic content like Open Graph images, email templates, or reports that aren't publicly hosted.
Project Organization
Organize your screenshots into projects to separate them by use case, client, or environment. This makes it easy to manage large volumes of screenshots and keep your workflow organized.
Scheduled Automation
Set up recurring screenshot jobs that run automatically at specified intervals. Monitor website changes over time, track competitor sites, or generate regular reports without manual intervention.
API & Webhooks
Integrate PeekShot into your applications using the REST API. Receive notifications via webhooks when screenshots are complete, enabling fully automated workflows.
Advanced Options
Customize your screenshots with options like:
Viewport size (mobile, tablet, desktop presets or custom dimensions)
Full-page capture vs. viewport-only
JavaScript and animation control
4K quality rendering
Custom CSS and JavaScript injection
Custom headers and authentication
Loading delays and element selectors
