How to Schedule Daily Website Screenshots
(2025 Guide)

Want to capture full-page screenshots of any website automatically — every day, at the exact time you choose, in your local timezone? This guide walks through the exact setup, from first login to "set and forget" schedules.

Why manual screenshots don’t scale

Browser extensions, manual clicks, and free tools are fine for the occasional snapshot — but they fall apart when you need:

• Consistent timing across multiple timezones
• Legal or audit-grade timestamped captures
• Thousands of screenshots per month
• A reliable history of how pages actually changed

The result: missed days, inconsistent filenames, and no real audit trail. Automation fixes all of that.

The 2025 way: fully automated & timezone-aware

Here’s the high-level flow:

1. Create your account → full access from day one.
2. Add any URL (public or behind login, depending on your plan).
3. Set frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or custom cron-like schedules.
4. Choose your exact timezone (140+ zones supported, like America/New_York or Europe/Berlin).
5. Connect your cloud: Google Drive · Dropbox · AWS S3.
6. Relax — screenshots arrive automatically, with no local scripts or servers to maintain.

Step-by-step example: daily 9 AM competitor capture

1. Add your competitor's pricing URL to a new capture job.
2. Set frequency to Daily.
3. Choose 09:00 and timezone America/New_York.
4. Connect a folder in Google Drive, Dropbox, or an S3 bucket.
5. (Optional) Add a folder pattern like /captures/pricing/{date}/.

From then on, you'll get a fresh full-page screenshot every morning at 9 AM Eastern — even if you're in a different timezone yourself.

Real examples

• Capture competitor pricing at 9 AM EST sharp.
• Archive affiliate disclosures at midnight Tokyo time for proof.
• Prove compliance with EU cookie banners during business hours.
• Track design changes on key landing pages over weeks or months.

Best practices for reliable schedules

• Always set a specific timezone, not just “UTC + offset”.
• Give each job a clear name, like [Daily] Competitor Pricing – US.
• Use separate jobs for separate regions (US, EU, APAC, etc.).
• Store captures in a predictable folder structure so future you can find them instantly.

TL;DR

Manual screenshots are fine in emergencies, but they're not a strategy. With automated, timezone-aware scheduling and direct cloud delivery, you can build a perfect history of any page without lifting a finger.
