Screenshotlayer by APILayer is an automated website screenshot capture API. It converts any web URL into high-resolution PNG, JPEG, or GIF snapshots.

Developers can configure custom viewport resolutions (desktop, tablet, mobile), thumbnail dimensions, injection of custom CSS, capture delays for async Javascript loading, and full-page scrolling captures. For Nigerian developers building social link preview cards, marketing audit tools, web directories, and competitor pricing monitors, Screenshotlayer eliminates the complexity of running headless browsers.
