I Built PeekShot to Automate Website Screenshots — Now I Save 97% of My Time ⏱️
A few months ago, I realized I was spending 15+ hours every week doing the same thing — taking website screenshots.
Whether it was for SEO reports, QA testing, or product previews, the process was repetitive, manual, and time-consuming.
At some point, I thought:
“If this is painful for me, it’s probably painful for others too.”
That’s where PeekShot started.
Building PeekShot
I wanted something simple but developer-friendly — a tool that:
Captures full-page, viewport, or element-level screenshots
Offers a clean API for SaaS, CI/CD, and dashboards
Includes a no-code dashboard for quick manual captures
Generates retina-ready, HD-perfect visuals for reports and marketing decks
I also designed it to be automation-first — it already works with ActivePieces, and Zapier + Pabbly integrations are coming soon.
Early Journey & Traction
I quietly launched on AppSumo to validate the idea and was honestly surprised by the response:
$5,000+ in sales within the first 3 months
500+ users onboarded
Teams from 30+ countries using PeekShot
Being integrated into workflows for SEO agencies, SaaS platforms, QA teams, and marketers
What I’ve Learned So Far
Solve your own pain first — if it hurts you, chances are it hurts others too
Start simple — you don’t need 50 features to get users
Listen early — feedback from first users shaped 70% of PeekShot’s roadmap
Where I Need Your Feedback
I’m at a stage where I want to make PeekShot more useful for Indie Hackers.
I’d love your thoughts on:
How do you currently capture screenshots for testing, reporting, or marketing?
Which integrations would make a tool like this a no-brainer?
Anything frustrating about existing screenshot APIs?
Try PeekShot
It’s free to start — you get 100 free credits without a credit card.
I was confused at first then i though, of how i would use it as a junior dev, like when something in ui fails but so quick we might not catch a screenshot might help, it really is a nice product great idea, curious to see where this migth go!!
Thanks for sharing your perspective. That’s actually a really good use case — those quick UI glitches are exactly the kind of thing that often go unnoticed. PeekShot was built to make capturing moments like that easier, so it’s nice to hear it clicks with you. A few people are already using it for QA and monitoring, but I feel there’s still a lot more room to grow.
If you do end up trying it in your workflow, I’d be interested to hear how it works out for you.
Great product; you might try adding batch scheduling, change alerts, webhooks, and clear team pricing to in agencies
Thanks a lot for the feedback! 🙌
Webhooks are already available, and we’ll add batch scheduling and change alerts to the roadmap next. I’ll also make sure to improve team pricing options for agencies based on your suggestion.
Always open to more ideas on how we can make PeekShot even better. 🚀
That's great!
