Website screenshot software automatically and periodically screenshots one or multiple websites and then archives them within itself. These screenshots can be used as a form of website monitoring, with the software compiling and comparing screenshots and then providing insights on trends and activity as they change. Website screenshot products can also automate the process of keeping up-to-date repositories of website information used in branding efforts.
Most website screenshot products are standalone tools which provide different secondary features based on use case. Website screenshot software is similar to screen and video capture software; however, website screenshot software automates the screenshot process in addition to providing storage and analysis tools.
To qualify for the Website Screenshot category, a product must:
Automate the process of taking screenshots
Keep an archive of the screenshots taken
Provide analytics based on scraped website data
