About This Tool
Website Screenshot is a network utility that lets you capture a visual preview of any public web page without visiting it directly in your main browser window. By entering a destination domain or URL, you can inspect site appearance, verify landing page updates, or view site mockups inside a desktop browser frame.
The tool validates the input URL format, prepends a secure HTTPS scheme when missing, and queries the public WordPress mshots rendering engine to fetch a standardized 1280-pixel wide desktop viewport screenshot.
### A Real Example You want to check the homepage layout of "github.com" without leaving your tools dashboard. You enter "github.com" into the input box and click "Capture". The tool formats the URL to "https://github.com", queries the rendering engine, and displays a 1280px mockup inside the preview container showing the current landing page.
### How Your Data Is Processed Capturing a website preview requires an external rendering cluster to load the target webpage. When you submit a URL, this tool requests a snapshot from the external WordPress mshots screenshot endpoint (s.wordpress.com/mshots). The target URL is transmitted as part of the query parameter, and the returned image preview renders in your browser tab. Ubify servers do not store your requested URLs or generated preview files.
How to Use

- 3
Inspect the returned 1280px browser mockup to review the layout of the target website.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this tool screenshot intranet or local localhost addresses?
No. Because the screenshot is rendered by an external cloud rendering service, the target webpage must be publicly reachable over the internet.
What viewport width is used for the captured image?
The rendering engine generates desktop viewport captures configured at 1280 pixels wide.
Is my target URL kept private?
The URL you submit is sent directly to the WordPress mshots rendering service to generate the preview graphic. Do not submit URLs containing private access tokens or sensitive credentials.
