Screenshot a page without cookie banners and ads
To get a clean screenshot of a web page, paste its address into CurlShot and keep "Hide ads and cookie pop-ups" switched on. CurlShot hides cookie banners and consent pop-ups, blocks ads, and then takes the screenshot, so the page itself is what you see.

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

--output clean.pngQuestions people ask
How do I take a screenshot without the cookie banner?
Use CurlShot with "Hide ads and cookie pop-ups" switched on. With the API, add block_cookie_banners=true to the request.
Does it work on every website?
It works on most sites, not all. The common consent tools are covered. For a site with an unusual pop-up, the API can hide any element by its selector or click a button before the capture.
What else can be removed?
Ads, trackers and chat widgets each have their own switch in the API: block_ads, block_trackers and block_chats.
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.
