Core Features

Web Profiles

Web Profiles define how your screenshots are taken: device, resolution, zoom, geolocation, blocking rules, and where the final files are delivered.

Instead of configuring settings on every schedule, you create reusable Web Profiles. Each profile acts like a named browser preset for your captures.


What is a Web Profile?

A Web Profile bundles together the browser environment for a capture:

  • 1. Resolution and zoom level
  • 2. Device type and media category
  • 3. Ad / pop-up blocking rules
  • 4. Geolocation and optional latitude/longitude
  • 5. Cloud storage preference and integrations

When you create a schedule, you simply pick the profile instead of configuring all these options again.

Web Profile

Resolution & Device Types

Web Profiles support both predefined and custom resolutions:

  • Pre-Defined Resolution: use common sizes for desktop or mobile.
  • Custom Browser Width and Browser Height for pixel-perfect layouts.
  • Device Type: use desktop or mobile.

Device Scale Factor & Zoom

Web Profiles support both predefined and custom resolutions:

  • Device Scale Factor to match high-DPI or zoomed environments for images supported [Does not work with emulated mobile] [Supports only Images]
  • Zoom for videos supported [Does not work with emulated mobile] [Supports only Videos]

Blocking & performance

To keep pages clean and relevant, profiles can control what gets blocked:

  • Block Pop-Ups – prevent unwanted dialogs from covering content.
  • Block Ads – reduce distraction and noise in your screenshots.
  • Page TimeOut and Scrolling Delay to allow heavy pages to finish loading before capture.

Geolocation & localization

Some sites change content based on location. Profiles can simulate that:

  • Enable Geolocation on the profile.
  • Provide Latitude and Longitude for precise targeting.

Headers, cookies & user agent

Advanced profiles can send custom Cookies, Headers, and UserAgent strings:

  • Capture logged-in views via authentication cookies (where supported).
  • Test different user agents (mobile vs desktop).
  • Pass specific headers used by your infrastructure (e.g. locale hints).

Cloud storage & integrations

Each profile can be wired to a cloud storage configuration:

  • CloudStorage picks the primary destination type.
  • Linked cloud storage profiles (e.g. Google Drive / Dropbox / S3) define where files are stored.

Schedules that use this profile will send their screenshots directly to those configured destinations.


When to create multiple profiles

  • Different devices (Desktop vs Mobile).
  • Different storage destinations (Legal vs Marketing folders).
  • Different geolocations and timezones for regional content.
