Get your first styled screenshot in 5 minutes

Step 1 — Create an account

• Sign up at screenframed.com/signup. No credit card required. You get 200 free credits per month on the Hobby plan.

Step 2 — Get your API key

• Go to Dashboard → API Keys and generate a live key. It starts with sf_live_. For testing, generate a test key (sf_test_) — it returns real renders but charges zero credits.

Step 3 — Make your first API call

• Send a POST request to /v1/capture with a URL and any styling parameters. The API returns a CDN URL to your rendered image.
