Embed screenshots

Using CDN to Embed Images in Documentation

FreshShots captures and serves up-to-date screenshots via a global CDN. You can easily embed these screenshots into your documentation across the most popular tools.

Each image is hosted at a unique CDN URL like this:

https://cdn.freshshots.io/{user_id}/{filename}.png

You can find the exact CDN URLs in your FreshShots dashboard or API responses after workflow execution.

🚀 How to Embed in Popular Docs Platforms

🦖 Docusaurus

Just use Markdown syntax:

If you’re using MDX, you can also use React-style components:

<img
	src="https://cdn.freshshots.io/1/homepage-screenshot.png"
	alt="Screenshot"
	style={{ maxWidth: "100%" }}
/>

📘 GitBook

Click "+" → Image
Choose “Embed from URL”
Paste the FreshShots CDN link and confirm.

Alternatively, use /image in the editor.

🧪 ReadMe.com

In the editor, click the image icon.
Choose “Insert Image by URL”
Paste the CDN link from FreshShots.

📚 MkDocs (Material for MkDocs, etc.)

Standard Markdown works:
