Block pop ups and hide cookie banners from screenshots

Have you been frustrated by cookie banners and other popups spoiling your screenshots?

At Urlbox, we have several solutions for removing these annoying banners and making your screenshots look a lot cleaner.

1. Set hide_cookie_banners=true

When setting hide_cookie_banners=true in your Urlbox request, we will use various methods to try and detect these modals and hide them using css.

2. Set click_accept=true

click_accept=true, will attempt to remove cookie banners from screenshots by clicking on the most likely 'accept cookies' button that we detect.

3. Set press_escape=true

press_escape=true, does what you would expect and simulates a button press of the Escape key - we have found that quite a few modals can be removed using this method!

4. Set hide_selector

With the hide_selector option, you can pass in a comma-separated list of css selectors that will be hidden in the screenshot.

5. Run custom js and/or css

You can run custom js and / or css, if you want to run your own algorithm for finding and detecting modals, or you have a bunch of styles that should tame the most common popups.
