About CaptureAPI

CaptureAPI is a developer-first platform that provides fast, reliable APIs for capturing website screenshots, converting HTML to PDF, and generating dynamic Open Graph images. We built the tool we wished existed when we were building products that needed these capabilities.

Our Mission

We believe that visual capture and document generation should be as simple as making an API call. Developers should not need to manage browser infrastructure, deal with rendering inconsistencies, or build complex queuing systems just to take a screenshot or generate a PDF.

Our mission is to provide the most reliable, developer-friendly visual capture API on the market. We focus on three things: speed, reliability, and simplicity.

Who Built CaptureAPI

CaptureAPI was created by a solo developer passionate about building tools that make other developers' lives easier. After years of wrestling with headless browser setups, Puppeteer configuration, and cloud rendering pipelines, we decided to package that expertise into a simple, affordable API that anyone can use.

We are based in Europe and committed to building a sustainable, bootstrapped product with transparent pricing and no venture capital pressure.

Technology Stack

CaptureAPI is built with modern, battle-tested technologies chosen for performance and reliability:

Next.jsFull-stack React framework powering the website, dashboard, and API routes.
PuppeteerHeadless Chromium for pixel-perfect screenshot and PDF rendering.
VercelEdge-optimized hosting with global CDN for low-latency API responses.
