We’ve migrated to the ScreenshotCenter API to deliver faster, more reliable screenshots.

What changed

Since day one, Blitapp has relied on theBrowshot API API to capture web pages. Browshot has served us well, but ScreenshotCenter gives us access to newer, faster infrastructure that will directly benefit every Blitapp user.

All user accounts have been migrated to the new API, without any disruption to scheduled captures.

Faster screenshots

Fewer failed captures and retries mean more reliable results for you.

Improved reliability

Fewer failed captures and retries. ScreenshotCenter is built on modern cloud infrastructure with better availability and redundancy.

Full Firefox support

Blitapp has always supported Chrome, but Firefox support was limited to an older version. With ScreenshotCenter, you get full support for the latest version of Firefox, giving you more accurate renders when sites behave differently across browsers.

What’s coming next

The migration to ScreenshotCenter also opens the door to features that were not possible with our previous backend:

More countries

ScreenshotCenter supports screenshots from a wider range of countries, so we can offer more geographic options for captures taken from specific locations.

Better ad and popup blocking

ScreenshotCenter’s ad and popup blocking more effectively removes cookie banners, interstitials, and intrusive ads.

Video captures

One of the most exciting upcoming features is video generation. Instead of a static screenshot, you’ll be able to record a video of a page loading, scrolling, or interacting with automation steps. This is useful for monitoring animations, carousels, or any dynamic content.

PDF output

Capture entire pages as PDF documents, useful for archiving, compliance, or sharing web content in a print-friendly format.

More devices

Capture pages as they appear on a wider range of mobile and tablet devices, with accurate viewport sizes and device emulation, so you can match more real-world screens.

How does ScreenshotCenter compare?

If you’re curious about the technical differences, ScreenshotCenter has published a detailed comparison between their API and other screenshot services, including Blitapp’s current Browshot backend.
