Shotium.

Screenshots & OG images from one clean API — run with discipline, documented honestly.

What Shotium is

Shotium turns URLs into images. Real Chromium renders pixel-perfect screenshots; typed templates produce 1200×630 social cards; HMAC-signed URLs go straight into public HTML without exposing a key. The pitch fits in one sentence — a single GET request instead of a headless-browser pipeline you babysit yourself.

How it's run

The service is run with discipline. Rendering is tuned rather than thrown at hardware, and repeat traffic is absorbed at the CDN edge; billing is honest by design (failed renders never bill); every fetch passes a production SSRF guard; uptime claims come with receipts on a public status page and a dated changelog. And when something breaks, the engineering blog names the real cause. Honest beats polished.

Who builds it

The Shotium team. The open-source ecosystem around the API lives at github.com/shotium: the n8n community node, the status page frontend, and whatever ships next.
