# CurlShot
> Paste a website address and get a screenshot of the whole page as an image or PDF. Free to try, nothing to install. For developers, one simple screenshot API.
CurlShot takes screenshots of web pages. It is two things in one: a free online tool at https://curlshot.com/ where anyone pastes a web address and downloads a screenshot, and an HTTP API for developers. Send a URL, HTML or Markdown and get back a png, jpeg, webp, pdf, mp4, webm, gif file (mp4, webm and gif are videos of the page scrolling from top to bottom). One endpoint does the work: `GET https://curlshot.com/api/v1/screenshot?access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&url=https://example.com`.
