Learn how to use Page Width, Page Height, and User Agent fields in PagePixels to emulate mobile website screenshots on different devices.

Introduction

PagePixels is a screenshot automation tool you can use to capture emulated mobile screenshots for different devices on a recurring schedule you define.

To accomplish this in PagePixels, you can set the "Page Width", "Page Height", and "User Agent" fields to match the device you want to emulate.

For example, to emulate an iPhone 15 Pro mobile device screenshot, you can use the settings in the table below.

*Please note, some websites respond differently to user agents which may affect your results.

You can emulate mobile device screenshots in the PagePixels web app, Zapier, Make.com, n8n, Power Automate, and through the Screenshot API.

PagePixels is free to start, and below are step-by-step instructions for how to automatically emulate a mobile website screenshot in the PagePixels web app on a daily schedule.

How to capture daily emulated mobile screenshots in PagePixels

To automatically take mobile screenshots on a daily schedule in the PagePixels web app:

1

Create a screenshot

Log in to your PagePixels account, and click the +Create Screenshot button.

2

Set your schedule

By default, scheduled screenshots are taken every 5 minutes.

For a daily screenshot, update the fields to: 1 Days

3

Add your URL

Copy your web page URL and paste it into the Website URL to Capture field.

4

Set Page Dimensions

Scroll down to the Page Setup section.

Enter the mobile device dimensions into the Page Width and Page Height fields.

Add User Agent String

Scroll to the Language, Location, and User Agent section.

Update the User Agent field with your device's user agent string.

6

Finish configuring your screenshot (optional)

PagePixels has 20+ screenshot options you can use to get your screenshots to look just right.

For example, to allow content more time to load, you can increase the Time to wait value to 8000.

Note: Maximum wait time is 20000 (ms) unless you have the 5-minute TimeOut Addon enabled.
