About the Screenshot Tool

Screenshot Tool is a free online service that takes a full-page screenshot of any public website — letting you choose viewport width (mobile, tablet, desktop, or full HD) and download the result as a PNG.

How It Works

You enter a public HTTPS URL, choose a viewport width (375px mobile, 768px tablet, 1280px desktop, or 1920px full HD), and submit. Our server launches a headless Chromium browser via Puppeteer, navigates to the URL, waits for the network to go idle (networkidle2), captures a full-page screenshot, and returns it as a base64-encoded PNG.

The browser runs with sandboxing disabled for containerised environments, and private/local IP addresses are blocked to prevent SSRF attacks. Timeouts are set to 30 seconds.

What Is sortout.app?

sortout.app is a growing collection of focused web tools, each designed to do exactly one thing well. Every tool is free, requires no account, and is built to load fast anywhere.

Privacy

The URL you enter is sent to our server over HTTPS. Our server visits the public URL using a headless browser, takes the screenshot, and returns it. We do not store URLs, screenshots, or any data from the visited page. See our full Privacy Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no usage limits.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no registration of any kind.

Why can't I screenshot localhost or private IPs?

For security reasons, we block requests to private and local addresses (localhost, 10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16-31.x). Only public HTTPS URLs are allowed.

The screenshot looks wrong — why?

Some sites use JavaScript frameworks that take time to render. The tool waits for network idle, but complex single-page apps may still appear partially loaded. Cookie consent dialogs may also appear in the screenshot.

What formats are returned?

Screenshots are returned as PNG. The full page is captured from top to bottom, not just the visible viewport.
