About

screenshat

Features
Read full description

screenshat captures full-page web screenshots at the sizes you actually ship. Paste one URL, choose from 18 presets, and get social cards, mobile viewports, and high-resolution exports back in one job. If you've ever tried to grab a clean OG card on a phone, you know the drill: screenshot, crop, resize, repeat for every size, and the result still only covers the visible viewport. screenshat renders the page at every size you picked and hands them all back together. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Capture a page across 18 presets in one run: Open Graph and social cards, iPhone, Pixel, and iPad viewports, plus 2K through 16K output in portrait and landscape. - Watch each screenshot appear as soon as its preset finishes instead of waiting for the whole job. - Select any combination of finished shots to save to Photos or share as PNGs, or download the complete job as a ZIP. - Retry only the presets that failed instead of starting everything over. - Send a link from Safari with the Share or Action extension. The URL is waiting in the capture form next time you open the app. - Give slow pages time to settle: wait for full load, network idle, or add a fixed delay before the shot. - Reopen captures from on-device history to check progress or export the files again. THE HONEST PART - Public pages only. Sites behind a sign-in won't render. - Captures run on the screenshat server, not on your phone. Your URL goes to the server; the PNGs come back. - Full-page means full page: the rendered document top to bottom at the preset's exact pixel size, not a viewport crop. - No account. The in-app history index stays on your device; capture jobs and PNGs remain on the server until deletion or the roughly 30-day retention window expires. ON IPAD Sidebar navigation, a wider capture form, and a list-and-detail history view. Made by Luke Steuber. Questions: luke@lukesteuber.com
