TailwindCSS Injection

Linkshot screenshots your real page, then injects any Tailwind classes you specify before capture. Use the linkshot: modifier to target elements only in the screenshot — hide navbars, overlays, cookie banners, or anything else.

<nav class="linkshot:hidden">...</nav>
<h1 class="text-3xl font-bold text-center"></h1>

Template System

Save your Tailwind 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?

When Linkshot captures a screenshot, it injects TailwindCSS into the page first. Any Tailwind utility class you write works out of the box — no build step, no extra setup.

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.
