Capture a screenshot of any live URL and get back a hosted PNG or JPG. Send a url plus optional viewport controls (screen_width, screen_height, device_scale_factor for retina), crop options (width, height, fit: max/crop/scale), transparent_background for PNG, quality for JPG, and wait_until/wait_time to let JS-heavy pages finish rendering before the capture. Runs on the CloudConvert website-capture engine and returns image_url, format, and file_size_bytes. Use it as a website screenshot API, URL-to-image converter, webpage capture tool, or site preview generator for thumbnails, monitoring, and visual QA.
