Enterprise reporting
Generate PDF reports from web dashboards and deliver them to SharePoint, S3, or email pipelines.
Java Screenshot API for Website Capture and PDF Generation
Add web capture to any Java application — Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus, or standalone services. Capture screenshots, generate PDFs, record videos, and extract HTML without managing browser infrastructure.
What you can build
Compliance & archival
Screenshot regulated pages with country-accurate rendering and store the evidence in your compliance system.
Authenticated captures
Automate login flows with click and type steps to screenshot internal portals and admin panels.
Batch processing
Submit thousands of URLs for parallel capture from scheduled jobs or message-driven consumers.
What the API handles for you
Every output format
PNG, JPEG, WebP, full-page PDF, raw HTML, and video screencasts from one endpoint.
Automation steps
Click, type, scroll, navigate, and wait before capture — handle logins, cookie banners, and dynamic content.
80+ country routing
Render geo-gated pages from real browsers in any target country.
14+ app integrations
Deliver results to S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, and more — no upload code needed.
Batch & crawl
Capture entire sitemaps or crawl domains with built-in retries and progress tracking.
On-premise browsers
Run browser clients inside your network for compliance or latency requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Selenium or Playwright for Java screenshots?
No. ScreenshotCenter handles browser infrastructure. Add the SDK dependency, call the API, and get results — no WebDriver setup required.
Does it work with Spring Boot?
Yes. The SDK is a standard Maven/Gradle dependency that works in any Java 11+ runtime, including Spring Boot, Micronaut, and Quarkus.
Can I generate PDFs from Java?
Yes. Set the pdf parameter to true and configure paper size, margins, and orientation in the API request.
How do I screenshot authenticated pages?
Use automation steps to type credentials, click buttons, and navigate before the capture — all defined in the API request.
