Screenshot a website as a phone shows it
To see how a website looks on a phone, paste its address into CurlShot and choose Phone. CurlShot opens the page with a phone-sized screen, the phone's pixel density and a mobile browser identity, so the site serves its mobile layout, and returns a screenshot of it. Tablet and computer views work the same way.

Ads and cookie pop-ups hidden. This page has none, so the screenshot is the same either way.

--output phone.pngQuestions people ask
How can I see what my website looks like on a phone?
Paste the address into CurlShot and choose Phone. You get a screenshot of the mobile version of the page, as a phone would show it.
Which devices can I choose?
On this page: a phone, a tablet and a computer. The API has a list of named devices, including current iPhone, Pixel and iPad models and common laptop and desktop sizes, and you can also set any width and height yourself.
Is this a real phone?
No. It is a real browser set up like the phone: the same screen size, pixel density, touch support and browser identity. That is what decides which layout a site serves, so the result matches what the phone shows for almost all sites.
Is it free?
You can try it on this page without an account. A free account adds a monthly allowance of screenshots and keeps them in one place.
