Law firms and compliance teams must preserve web pages exactly as seen at a point‑in‑time (court exhibits, trademark disputes, harassment cases).
A tamper‑proof screenshot + hash + PDF bundle is gold for that use case.
When a dispute lands on your desk—trademark infringement, defamation, harassment, false‑advertising—you need proof that can survive cross‑examination. A simple browser “Save as PDF” won’t cut it: fonts reflow, ads change, scripts disappear. What law firms and compliance teams really need is a verifiable, read‑only capture showing the page exactly as the judge or jury would have seen it on that day. ScreenshotOne’s PDF generation API turns that manual chore into a one‑line call:
curl https://api.screenshotone.com/take \ -d url="https://example.com/" \ -d format="pdf" \ -d full_page=true \ -d access_key=<your access key>Behind the scenes, ScreenshotOne spins up an isolated browser, renders every pixel—including dynamic content—and packages the result as PDF.
Automate that in your case‑management system and you’ve got a tamper‑proof evidence set—no more frantic “did anyone grab the page before it vanished?” moments, and no awkward questions about authenticity when you introduce Exhibit A.
Shout out to ScreenshotOne (by Dmytro Krasun) for being one of those services that just quietly runs in the background doing the thing you want it to do perfectly!
Been using it to generate screenshots for lead demo sites when I'm not able to embed the site in an iframe (which you shouldn't let your site allow btw). Works so well.
