The online
website video generator

How the website video generator works

1. 1

   Paste the website URL

   Any public URL works — SaaS apps, e-commerce stores, portfolios, news articles, or marketing pages.

2. 2

   Set your video options

   Choose format, viewport, scroll speed, and duration. Or pick a one-click preset for social media, portfolio, or demo use.

3. 3

   Get your video

   Cloud rendering happens in the background. Download MP4, MOV, WebM, or GIF from your export library.

Supported output formats

• MP4

  Best compatibility for social media, email, and presentations.

• MOV

  Apple ecosystem workflows and Final Cut Pro editing.

• WebM

  Optimised for web embedding and modern browsers.

• GIF

  Plays everywhere — GitHub READMEs, Notion, email clients.

• WebP

  High-quality still image with superior compression.

• PNG

  Lossless screenshot for pixel-perfect design use.

What makes Scrollify different

• Real browser rendering

  Chromium renders the page — not a static screenshot tool. Fonts, CSS, JS animations, and lazy images all load correctly.

• Cloud-based — no install

  No screen-recording software, browser extensions, or local hardware required. Works on any device with a browser.

• REST API for automation

  Submit URLs, poll job status, and download files programmatically. Automate video generation in your CI/CD or content pipeline.

• Public share links

  Every export gets a public share URL. Send clients a preview link without requiring them to sign up or log in.

Frequently asked questions

What is a website video generator?

A website video generator is a tool that automatically records a browser session of a web page and outputs a video file. Instead of screen-recording your desktop manually, you submit a URL and the tool handles rendering, scrolling, and encoding in the cloud — delivering a finished video you can download.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Scrollify is entirely cloud-based. You access it through your browser at scrollify.io. No desktop app, browser extension, or OBS-style software is required.

What video formats can I generate from a website?

Scrollify supports MP4 (H.264), MOV, and WebM for video output, plus GIF for animated image output. You can generate the same URL in multiple formats from your export library without re-running the job.

Can I generate videos of websites I don't own?

Technically you can capture any public URL, but you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to record and use the content. Many websites prohibit automated scraping or recording in their terms of service. Always check before generating videos of sites you do not own or operate.

How long can the generated website video be?

Duration limits depend on your plan. Free accounts generate short videos suitable for social previews. Paid plans unlock longer videos, higher resolutions, and batch jobs. See the pricing page for exact limits per plan.

Can I use the API to generate website videos automatically?

Yes. The Scrollify REST API lets you submit jobs, poll for status, and retrieve download URLs programmatically. This is ideal for automating nightly screenshot diffs, building changelog preview tools, or embedding video generation into your CMS. Check the API docs to get started.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Scrollify's free plan gives you a monthly export quota with no credit card required. Upgrade when you need longer videos, higher resolutions, or more exports per month.
