With Add Screenshots, you can automate the capture of website screenshots at regular intervals and securely store them in your chosen cloud storage. Customize your schedule to capture screenshots hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly—or set up your own custom intervals, even down to one minute.
Why are automated website screenshots important? They offer several benefits:
Get started with scheduling your screenshots today:

Capture screenshots in just three simple steps:
Storage and request templates are reusable, allowing you to set up different schedules for various websites.
Create reusable templates for where your screenshots are stored, including options such as:
Specify folder names and file names with configurable path patterns for organized storage.
Example storage account configuration:
Create reusable request templates to define how screenshots are taken, including options like viewport size, image quality, file format, and more.
Example request template:
Set up one or multiple schedules based on your needs, specifying the websites to capture, the timing, and the capturing method.
Example of a multi-page screenshot configuration:
Create custom schedules using a CRON expression, which is a time-based scheduling format.
The CRON expression format is: {minute} {hour} {day of the month} {month} {day of the week}
Example: * * * * * (runs every minute)
Allowed values for each field:
Field | Valid Values |
---|---|
Minute | 0-59 |
Hour | 0-23 |
Day of the month | 1-31 |
Month | 1-12 |
Day of the week | 0-6 (Sunday to Saturday) |
Use crontab.guru for an easy-to-use CRON scheduler expression editor.
