Nice, it works. But you already know this needs to be a browser extension. I use GoFullPage. I don't need to copy the URL, go to another website, and paste it there.
Sure, using browser extensions for screenshots is great, especially for pages requiring login, but not everyone knows how to effectively capture public pages. a website offers a straightforward solution for easy and efficient screenshot capture.
Great! Both the interface design and functional interaction are very good. My only concern is how you will cover the server costs.
May be through google adsense if I can get some organic traffic
Supports high resolution, PDF export, device‑simulated viewports, ad/cookie/GDPR‑popup blocking, and is 100% free
Why I built it
As a developer, I usually take screenshots via dev‑tools, extensions, or external apps.
But for many users, entering a URL and clicking a button is easier and faster—especially for non‑technical folks or when automation isn’t practical.
Wanted something simple, web‑based, and shareable.
Features at a glance
Full‑page or viewport-only screenshots (up to ~20,000px height)
Choose screen resolution (desktop, tablet, mobile)
Block ads, cookies, and GDPR banners for cleaner captures
Export to PNG, JPEG or PDF
Responsive, fast, and no watermark, no login
A bonus I got from this little side project
This little side project turned into something much more valuable: I now have a reusable boilerplate for multilingual, SEO-ready websites. All the annoying “support” parts of building a site? Done.
Now I can launch new products and just focus on the core functionality — UI, features, and content — without worrying about the boring setup again.
