The ScreenshotAPI alternative that renders Cloudflare-protected sites
ScreenshotAPI renders most pages well, but it ships no documented stealth mode, so Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated sites often come back as a challenge screen instead of a screenshot. ScreenshotRender handles those pages clean from one GET request, removes cookie banners and ads automatically, and gives you 60 requests per minute at the entry plan, three times the throughput you get from ScreenshotAPI.

01/ 02 · Why switch
Why teams switch from ScreenshotAPI to ScreenshotRender
Capture the pages that fight back. Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated pages render in a real browser with stealth mode on, so a challenge screen does not come back instead of your screenshot. ScreenshotAPI.net documents no stealth or anti-bot handling, so those pages may slip through.
One request, nothing extra to wire. The entire API is a single GET endpoint with your key and a target URL. Cloudflare handling, cookie banner removal, and ad blocking are all on by default, so you do not need a proxy config or extra parameters to get a clean image back.
Three times the entry rate limit. The entry plan allows 60 requests per minute versus ScreenshotAPI's 20, so batch jobs and pipelines that need to move fast have more headroom from day one without upgrading to a higher tier.
Pay only when an image lands. ScreenshotRender charges one credit per successful screenshot and nothing for renders that fail, so a blocked or broken page never costs you. Your bill tracks the images you actually got back, not the requests you sent.
Wire screenshots into any workflow. Native connections to Zapier, Make, and n8n let marketing and operations teams build screenshot workflows without touching the API. Trigger a capture, route the image, and pass it to any tool in your stack, all from a no-code canvas.
Switch without the risk. Start free with no credit card and run ScreenshotRender alongside ScreenshotAPI on real traffic. When you are ready, point the request at the new endpoint and pass apiKey and url. Most teams move over in minutes.

ScreenshotRender vs. ScreenshotAPI
Thinking of switching from ScreenshotAPI? The difference is what happens when a page fights back. ScreenshotRender renders Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated pages clean with a stealth mode built in, while ScreenshotAPI.net documents no anti-bot handling, so protected pages may return a challenge screen instead of an image. At the entry plan you also get 60 requests per minute instead of 20. Here is how the two APIs stack up for real-world sites.
ScreenshotRender renders the Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated pages ScreenshotAPI leaves behind, with stealth mode and automatic page cleanup already on.

Common questions
ScreenshotRender is the best ScreenshotAPI alternative for teams that need to capture Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated pages. It renders those pages clean with stealth mode built in, removes cookie banners and ads automatically, and allows 60 requests per minute at the entry plan, three times what ScreenshotAPI offers at the same level.
The main difference is how each API handles bot-protected pages. ScreenshotRender has a built-in stealth mode that renders Cloudflare-protected and bot-gated pages clean, while ScreenshotAPI.net documents no anti-bot handling, so protected pages may return a challenge screen. ScreenshotRender also allows 60 requests per minute at the entry plan versus ScreenshotAPI's 20.
For protected sites and high-throughput pipelines, yes. ScreenshotRender has a stealth mode that renders pages an ordinary capture service gets blocked on, and it strips cookie banners and ads from every capture without extra configuration. At the entry plan it also allows three times as many requests per minute.
Yes. ScreenshotRender renders Cloudflare-protected pages in a real browser with stealth mode on, so JavaScript-heavy and bot-protected sites return a clean image instead of a challenge screen, with no extra setup required.
ScreenshotAPI.net does not document stealth mode or anti-bot bypass on its website or feature pages. It renders JavaScript pages and lists a proxy parameter, but how that handles Cloudflare protection is not stated. ScreenshotRender documents stealth mode explicitly and renders Cloudflare-protected pages by default on all paid plans.
Point your request at https://screenshotrender.com/api/v1/screenshot and pass apiKey and the url you want captured. Add fullPage=true for a full-page capture. There is no proxy to configure and no SDK to install, so most teams migrate in minutes.
Yes. The free plan includes 100 screenshots a month with no credit card required, so you can test it against your current ScreenshotAPI usage before you switch.
Yes. Add fullPage=true to your request and ScreenshotRender captures the entire scrollable page instead of just the viewport.
No. ScreenshotRender only charges for renders that successfully return an image, so failed requests, blocked pages, and timeouts never use a credit.
ScreenshotAPI allows 20 requests per minute on its entry plan. ScreenshotRender allows 60 requests per minute on its entry plan, three times as many, so batch jobs and pipelines have more headroom from day one without needing to upgrade.
