Generate images, PDF documents, videos, and extract relevant data from a URL or HTML source.

Urlbox is a service that converts URLs and HTML into various formats such as screenshots, PDFs, videos, and extracts text, HTML, and metadata. This API can serve multiple industries due to its range of functionalities.

  • Accurate screenshots: Urlbox uses a custom algorithm to render high-quality screenshots of viewports, single elements, and full pages from URLs or HTML.
  • Automated cookie banner removal: Users can remove cookie banners from screenshots by adding hide_cookie_banners:true to their requests.
  • URL to PDF conversion: The same API can be used to generate PDFs, such as invoices, certificates, or website archives.
  • GPU rendering: Urlbox uses powerful GPUs to render demanding websites.
  • Metadata and HTML extraction: Users can extract metadata about a URL and the fully loaded HTML itself. Urlbox can also convert the HTML to markdown.
  • Video rendering: Urlbox can generate MP4 videos that capture scrolling websites, showcasing scroll-linked animations.
  • Zapier integration: Urlbox integrates with Zapier, allowing users to push URLs and receive screenshots, regardless of where the URLs are stored.
