On March 7, 2026, we are excited to announce the launch of gowebshot, a powerful command-line tool designed to make capturing webpage screenshots fast, flexible, and intuitive. Whether you need a quick snapshot for a report or a precision-engineered capture for design work, gowebshot brings professional-grade viewport control directly to your terminal.

Core Capabilities

Since this is our first release, we are introducing a comprehensive suite of features to get you started:

  • Dual Execution Modes: Choose between a streamlined CLI for scripting and a rich, interactive TUI (Terminal User Interface) for visual configuration.
  • Intelligent Browser Discovery: No more hunting for paths; gowebshot automatically finds Chrome or Chromium installations on your system.
  • Precision Viewport Control: Use built-in presets like widescreen (1920×1080), desktop, square, and portrait (1080×1350), or define your own custom dimensions.
  • Advanced Page Tuning: Fine-tune your captures with adjustable zoom levels, vertical scroll offsets, and configurable load delays to ensure animations have finished and the page has settled.
  • Smart File Management: Avoid accidental overwrites with automatic numeric suffixing and full control over output directories and filenames.

Why it matters

For developers, designers, and researchers, the ability to capture consistent, high-quality webpage snapshots without leaving the terminal is a game-changer. By combining the speed of a CLI with the accessibility of a TUI, gowebshot removes the friction from visual documentation and automated testing, providing a reliable way to archive the web exactly as it appears.
