Show HN: I built a no-login website screenshot tool for my non-tech friends
What is it? I built WebsiteScreenshot.online to let anyone capture full‑page or viewport screenshots of websites directly from a browser—no signup, no software installation.

Supports high resolution, PDF export, device‑simulated viewports, ad/cookie/GDPR‑popup blocking, and is 100% free

Why I built it

As a developer, I usually take screenshots via dev‑tools, extensions, or external apps.

But for many users, entering a URL and clicking a button is easier and faster—especially for non‑technical folks or when automation isn’t practical.

Wanted something simple, web‑based, and shareable.

Features at a glance

Full‑page or viewport-only screenshots (up to ~20,000px height)

Choose screen resolution (desktop, tablet, mobile)

Block ads, cookies, and GDPR banners for cleaner captures

Export to PNG, JPEG or PDF

Responsive, fast, and no watermark, no login

A bonus I got from this little side project

This little side project turned into something much more valuable: I now have a reusable boilerplate for multilingual, SEO-ready websites. All the annoying “support” parts of building a site? Done.

Now I can launch new products and just focus on the core functionality — UI, features, and content — without worrying about the boring setup again.

What I’m hoping to get from the HN community

Feedback on UI/UX, flow, and capabilities

Ideas for missing features or improvements

Suggestions for optimizing SEO & performance

Thoughts on future direction—API access? Bulk processing? Widgets?
