How credits work

Paste the page address, set how long the scroll should run and which shape you need, then export. There is nothing to install and no extension — we open the page in a real browser on our side and hand back an MP4, WebM or GIF with no watermark. The page is read once and kept for a while afterwards, so changing a setting and exporting again re-renders from what we already have rather than crawling the site a second time.

Set the loop to Down and Back. The scroll runs to the bottom and then returns to the top along the same curve, so the last frame matches the first and the video loops with no visible seam — which is what you want for a hero background or a social post that replays. Leave it on Scroll Down for a single pass down the page.

Up to 4K, never watermarked, and available on every account from your first export — 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4K are all just settings, and the higher ones cost more credits rather than a different plan. The page is read at double density, so what gets captured is a retina screenshot rather than a small one stretched up, and text stays sharp at every size. MP4 is encoded as H.264 and WebM as VP9. There is no quality slider on purpose — every export already uses the setting that lands within a hair of the slowest one at half the wait.

9:16 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and stories. 4:5 for a feed post on Instagram or LinkedIn — it is the tallest shape the feed will show without cropping, so it takes the most room on a phone. 1:1 is the safe square when you do not know where it will end up, and 16:9 suits YouTube, a landing page hero or an email. The shape follows the device: a page read at desktop width gives you 16:9, 4:3 and 1:1, and the portrait ratios arrive with tablet and phone capture. You can also type an exact pixel size if you are working to a spec.

Yes. Pick the device at the top of the video settings — desktop, tablet or phone — and your page is read at that width, so the site answers with the layout it actually serves there rather than a desktop page squeezed narrower. Tablet and phone cost three credits more than desktop, and nothing else about them is different. The aspect ratio still sets the shape of the window it is read through, so the two work together: a phone at 9:16 is the mobile layout, full frame. Nothing is ever shrunk to fit a shape it was not laid out for.

Switch the engine to Live capture under Advanced. It screenshots the page at every scroll position rather than panning a flat image, so reveal, fade-in and parallax effects play in the video exactly as a visitor would see them. It holds a real browser for the length of the video, which is why it is considerably slower than the fast pan and why it adds thirteen credits to an export. There is no monthly allowance and nothing to unlock — use it whenever you have the credits for it.

No. Website Scroll Video is pay-as-you-go. You get 200 free credits when you sign up, then buy more whenever you need them. There are no plans, no monthly charge and no commitment.

Rendering videos. What an export costs depends on the settings you choose — how long the finished video is, what resolution and frame rate, whether it uses Live Capture, and how many pauses and hover interactions are in it. Every feature is available from the start, so credits decide how much you make rather than what you are allowed to make.

Only when you start an export. Editing settings and previewing your video cost nothing, however many times you do it — so you can try things freely and only spend when you have something you want to keep. The amount taken is exactly the number shown beside the Export button before you press it.

No. Credits never expire and nothing resets monthly. Use them today, next month, or whenever your next site is ready. They are also non-refundable, which is the other half of the same deal — there is no rush to spend them and no way to hand them back.

Your credits come back automatically. They are reserved when the render starts and only actually spent when a video comes out the other end, so a failure, a timeout or an export you cancel all return the full amount. You are never charged for a video you did not receive.

No. We recognise the major consent platforms by name and catch unknown ones with a heuristic that looks for pinned, high-stacked elements with consent wording. We also remove chat launchers, newsletter modals and leftover backdrops, and unlock the page scroll that modals often leave behind.

Anything behind a login, on a private network, or actively blocking automated browsers. Pages that require interaction before they show content will capture whatever a first-time visitor sees.
