# Take a screenshot of a website automatically (by using a URL)

Transloadit can take a screenshot of any website or HTML file. In this demo below we let [🤖/html/convert](/docs/robots/html-convert.md) make a PNG screenshot from the [Uppy website⁠](https://uppy.io).

You could optionally use [🤖/image/resize](/docs/robots/image-resize.md) to further resize or crop the resulting image as required.

Step 1

### Take screenshots of webpages or HTML files

We can process your documents in an automated way, saving you costly resources. [Learn more ›](/services/document-processing.md)

```json
"screenshot": {
  "robot": "/html/convert",
  "result": true,
  "format": "png",
  "url": "https://uppy.io",
  "width": 1024
}
```

🤖 [/html/convert](/docs/robots/html-convert.md)

This bot takes screenshots of web pages or uploaded HTML pages

Step 2

### Convert, resize, or watermark images

We can resize, crop, and (auto-)rotate images, or apply watermarks and other effects, and much more. [Learn more ›](/services/image-processing.md)

  "result": true,
  "gravity": "top",
  "height": 768,
  "resize_strategy": "fillcrop",
  "width": 1024,
  "zoom": false
}
```

🤖 [/image/resize](/docs/robots/image-resize.md)

This bot resizes, crops, changes colorization, rotation, and applies text and watermarks to images

Step 3

### Export files to Amazon S3

We export to the storage platform of your choice. [Learn more ›](/services/file-exporting.md)

## So many ways to integrate

Transloadit is a service for companies with developers. And there are many ways developers can put Transloadit to good use inside your company to automate media processing.

#### Bulk imports

Add one of our [import Robots](/services/file-importing.md) to acquire and transcode massive media libraries.

#### Handling uploads

We are *the* experts at reliably [handling uploads](/services/handling-uploads.md). We wrote the [protocol⁠](https://tus.io/) for it.

#### Front-end integration

We integrate with web browsers via our next-gen file uploader [Uppy⁠](https://uppy.io/docs/guides/uppy-transloadit/) and SDKs for Android and iOS.

#### Back-end integration

Send us batch jobs in any server language using one of our [SDKs](/docs/sdks.md) or directly interfacing with our [REST API](/docs/api.md).

#### Pingbacks

Configure a [notify\_url](/services/content-delivery.md) to let your server receive transcoding results JSON in the `transloadit` POST field.

#### On-demand

Use our [Smart CDN](/services/file-importing.md) to adapt files on-demand and stream them directly to your users.
