Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

What is a screenshot credit?
One API call equals one credit. Each screenshot or PDF generation request uses one credit from your monthly quota, regardless of the output format or options used.
What happens when I hit my limit?
On the Free plan, requests are blocked until the next billing cycle. On paid plans, you can continue making requests and overage is billed at your plan's per-screenshot rate.
How fast are renders?
Most screenshots render in 1-2 seconds. Cached screenshots are served in under 100ms. Render times vary based on page complexity, viewport size, and wait strategy.
What formats are supported?
Screenshots can be returned in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format. PDFs support A4, Letter, Legal, and Tabloid paper sizes. All formats support custom quality settings.
Can I self-host RenderShot?
RenderShot is a fully managed SaaS product built on Cloudflare's infrastructure. Self-hosting is not available, but our TypeScript SDK is open source and our API is accessible from any language.
Do you offer enterprise plans?
Yes! Enterprise plans include custom limits, SLA guarantees, dedicated support, and custom integrations. Contact us at enterprise@rendershot.dev for details.
