What output formats does BoltShot support?

BoltShot supports a wide range of popular image and document formats to fit your needs. You can capture screenshots in PNG, JPEG, WebP, and even PDF formats. This flexibility allows you to choose the best format for your specific use case, whether it is a lightweight JPEG for web previews, a transparent PNG for overlays, or a full-page PDF for archiving and reports. Simply specify the format in your API request, and BoltShot handles the rest!

How does BoltShot handle cookie banners and ads?

BoltShot has built-in, automatic detection and removal for common web distractions like cookie consent banners, popup overlays, and advertisements. When you make a capture request, our engine intelligently identifies these elements and hides them before rendering the screenshot. This ensures you get a clean, professional image without any extra configuration or coding on your end. It is a huge time-saver for generating screenshots for presentations, documentation, or any scenario where a pristine visual is required.

Can I capture screenshots of specific elements on a page?

Absolutely! BoltShot offers powerful element targeting using standard CSS selectors. Instead of capturing the entire page, you can specify a CSS selector (like a class name or ID) in your API request, and BoltShot will render only that specific element. This is perfect for capturing a single product card, a specific chart, a form, or any other isolated part of a webpage. It saves bandwidth, speeds up processing, and gives you exactly the visual data you need.
