Introducing OtterSnap — screenshots, PDFs and OG images from one API

Every web product eventually needs the same three things: a way to turn a page into an image, a way to turn HTML into a PDF, and a way to generate social preview cards. And every team solves them the same way — by installing a headless browser, fighting fonts and timeouts at 2 AM, and paying for a Chrome farm that sits idle 90% of the time.

We built OtterSnap so you never have to do that again. It's one REST API that renders any URL into pixel-perfect screenshots, print-ready PDFs and Open Graph images — with caching, SSRF protection and retries built in.

What it looks like

One POST request, JSON in, image bytes out:

curl -X POST https://api.ottersnap.com/v1/screenshot \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer otter_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://github.com", "fullPage": true}' \
  --output shot.png

That's the whole integration. No puppeteer scripts, no browser updates, no memory leaks to babysit.

Built for agents, too

A growing share of renders now come from AI agents that need to see the web. OtterSnap ships an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and your own automations can capture pages as a native tool call.

Pricing

The Free plan gives you 100 renders every month, forever — enough to ship a real integration. Starter is $19/month for 5,000 renders and Growth is $49/month for 25,000 with a priority queue. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
