TailwindCSS Injection
Linkshot screenshots your real page and injects a curated TailwindCSS utility set under a linkshot: prefix at capture time. Use the linkshot: modifier to target elements only in the screenshot — hide navbars, overlays, cookie banners, or anything else.
Template System
Save your TailwindCSS customizations as named templates. Apply them to any URL across your registered domains — one template, every page.

Common Questions
What are Open Graph images?
They're the preview images that appear when someone shares your link on X, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, or iMessage. A compelling OG image can dramatically increase click-through rates.
How does TailwindCSS injection work?
Linkshot ships a curated set of TailwindCSS utilities under a linkshot: prefix as a static CSS file that's injected at screenshot capture only. Add classes like linkshot:hidden or linkshot:text-6xl to your real markup; outside capture they have no effect, during capture Linkshot's injected CSS makes them apply. No install, no config edit. Your live page also renders in real Chromium, so any TailwindCSS your site already uses works on the page itself with no restrictions.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan comes with a 7-day free trial, and you don't need a credit card to start.
How fast are screenshots generated?
Screenshots are rendered at the edge, as close to your users as possible — so latency stays low regardless of geography.
What output size does Linkshot use?
Screenshots are captured at 1200×630 — the standard OG image size used by X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and most link-unfurling platforms.
What is the /preview service?
The /preview endpoint is a quick-start alternative to templates. Pass any URL and get back a screenshot at the standard 1200×630 OG size — no template setup needed. It's ideal for link thumbnails, blog cards, or anywhere you need an instant preview image of a page.
