Vxpix turns any URL into a screenshot via one API call, with a one-time lifetime option.
Grounded in available product and source data
Most screenshot APIs bill every month regardless of how often a project actually calls them — Vxpix is a website screenshot API with a one-time option instead, turning any URL into a full-page image through a single POST endpoint.
Capture itself covers the details that matter for real use: full-page capture scrolls and loads before taking the shot rather than clipping partway down a long page, a custom viewport can be set to any width and height for mobile or desktop testing, and average response time runs sub-second, built on Playwright and headless Chromium underneath.
Getting started doesn't require an account at all — a URL can be pasted directly into the free tier and captured on the spot, with a daily allowance, PNG-only output, and a fixed viewport. Paid access runs on what the site calls a trust-based model: entering an email generates and displays a working API key immediately, before any payment happens, and a user chooses afterward whether to pay via PayPal to keep using it — the site frames this as delivering the key upfront rather than gating it behind checkout.
Two paid paths exist: a recurring monthly subscription, or a one-time lifetime license covering unlimited screenshots and all future bug fixes with no further charge ever. The site's own comparison table, dated June 2026 and sourced from competitor sites, sets that one-time option specifically against Urlbox's and ScreenshotLayer's ongoing monthly subscriptions. A 7-day, no-questions-asked refund policy applies if it doesn't work out.
No — the free tier lets a URL be pasted and captured directly with no account or API key required, using a daily allowance before any signup decision needs to be made.
Nothing enforces payment upfront by design — the site frames the model as trust-first, betting that delivering real value before checkout earns the payment rather than forcing it, which shifts the risk onto Vxpix rather than the developer trying it out.
It's a distinct billing structure — the lifetime option is a single payment covering unlimited screenshots and all future bug fixes with no further charge, positioned directly against the recurring monthly billing the site's own comparison table shows for named competitors.
Full-page capture is a named feature specifically — it scrolls and loads the page before capturing rather than clipping to only the visible viewport area.
The site states a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund policy applies, giving a window to test the paid tier in a real workflow before the purchase is treated as final.
