How to Set a Custom Viewport Size in the URLbox Chrome Extension

Urlbox’s documentation verifies custom viewport dimensions for its screenshot API, but not for a Chrome extension. Here’s the documented API syntax and what remains unconfirmed.

The available documentation does not verify that the URLbox Chrome extension supports custom viewport sizes—or establish which extension the title refers to. It would be misleading to give extension-specific URL steps without an extension listing or help page. If you mean the Urlbox screenshot API, its documented method is to set the width and height parameters in pixels.

What is—and isn’t—documented about the extension

Urlbox’s official materials describe a service that renders URLs and HTML as screenshots, PDFs, videos, and extracted content. They document API options, but the available pages do not identify a URLbox Chrome extension or explain how to change viewport dimensions in an extension.

That distinction matters: the API syntax below is verified for an API render link, not for a Chrome extension. Don’t assume that adding these parameters to an extension URL will work. To get extension-specific instructions, first confirm the extension’s exact name and publisher in its Chrome Web Store listing, then consult that publisher’s help page.

If you mean the Urlbox screenshot API

The Urlbox API uses width and height to set the browser viewport in pixels. Width controls the horizontal dimension; height controls the vertical dimension. The documented default viewport is 1280 × 1024 pixels. The Urlbox options documentation lists these controls and defaults: Urlbox render options.

Set dimensions in a render link

The official quick start demonstrates a 390 × 844 pixel viewport in this API link:

https://api.urlbox.com/v1/api-key/png?url=github.com&width=390&height=844&thumb_width=200

Here, width=390 and height=844 set the viewport dimensions; thumb_width=200 is also present in the quick-start example. The 390 × 844 dimensions are an example configuration, not a required device size or an extension setting. See the Urlbox quick start.

Choose dimensions for the result you need

The documentation defines the two pixel dimensions but does not prescribe a single best size. Choose a width and height that match the layout you need to render. The API example should be treated as an API configuration only; it does not establish how to set dimensions in a browser extension.

For automated captures, ScreenshotNeo offers a screenshot API and MCP server. This one-call cURL example captures a page as WebP; see the ScreenshotNeo documentation for API options and setup:

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

ScreenshotNeo accepts cookie and consent banners before capture and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets; each step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed, and response headers identify the page verdict and billing status. Its MCP server provides take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf for AI agents and other MCP clients. The free plan includes 1,000 screenshots a month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000 screenshots.
