Captures screenshots of web pages, PDFs, and local files as tiled JPEG images for visual reading. Use instead of raw HTML when you need to see layouts, charts, diagrams, or UI.

Use `pixelshot` to capture any URL or document as tiled JPEG images, then read the images visually.
Use pixelshot to capture any URL or document as tiled JPEG images, then read the images visually.
# Screenshot a URL (optimized for Claude's vision: 1568px tile height)
pixelshot <url> --output /tmp/pixelbrowse --tile-height 1568
# Screenshot multiple URLs in parallel
pixelshot <url1> <url2> --output /tmp/pixelbrowse --tile-height 1568 --workers 4
# Wider viewport for desktop layouts
pixelshot <url> --output /tmp/pixelbrowse --tile-height 1568 --viewport-width 1280
# Render a PDF
pixelshot document.pdf --output /tmp/pixelbrowse
IMPORTANT: Always use --tile-height 1568 for screenshots you will read visually.
Claude's vision model downscales images with long edge > 1568px (Sonnet/Haiku) or 2576px (Opus).
The default 8192px tile height will be downscaled and text becomes unreadable.
After rendering, read the tile images from the output directory to visually understand the content.
pixelshot <url> --output /tmp/pixelbrowse/tmp/pixelbrowse/<domain>.png.tiles/tile_0000.jpg directly (no need to ls — the naming is deterministic)Output path pattern: /tmp/pixelbrowse/<sanitized-url>.png.tiles/tile_NNNN.jpg
https://news.ycombinator.com → /tmp/pixelbrowse/news.ycombinator.com.png.tiles/tile_0000.jpghttps://example.com/page → /tmp/pixelbrowse/example.com_page.png.tiles/tile_0000.jpgDo NOT run ls — just read tile_0000.jpg. If it doesn't exist, the page had no content.
If text or details are too small to read, crop the region of interest and re-read at full resolution. Pillow is always available (it's a pixelshot dependency):
python3 -c "from PIL import Image; Image.open('<tile_path>').crop((x1, y1, x2, y2)).save('/tmp/pixelbrowse/crop.png')"
Use this whenever you see content but can't make out the details — tables, small labels, fine print, chart axes, etc.

Handles full-page, element, viewport, retina, dark mode, and batched captures.
Captures screenshots of web pages, local files, and Reveal.js presentations using Playwright, enabling visual inspection and iteration for agents that cannot see rendered UI.
Captures screenshots via Playwright MCP from URLs or elements for blog posts or documentation. Handles viewport, cookie banners, full-page vs section, anchor scroll, and PNG/JPG formats.
