How does Website Screenshot work out of the box?

Without external paid APIs, ToolCix fetches live site metadata and Open Graph hero artwork to compose a clean viewport preview card, and automatically switches to full pixel capture if SCREENSHOT_API_KEY is configured.

Can I capture password-protected dashboards?

No, only publicly accessible web pages can be inspected by the server route.

What viewport sizes are supported?

You can toggle between Desktop (1280x800) and Mobile (390x844) aspect ratios.

Are captures cached or published?

No—captures are returned directly to your session and never indexed publicly.

Checking Above-the-Fold Presentation Across Viewports

Visual regression checks and client status reports require quick snapshots of how a deployed site looks after shipping changes. Whether you are archiving a release milestone or auditing social metadata cards, clean viewport previews save manual cropping.

ToolCix inspects the live target URL safely behind SSRF protections, verifies HTTP availability, and generates an instant downloadable preview image tailored to your chosen device frame.
