Storage & Delivery

S3-Compatible Storage

Website Screenshot World can deliver captures directly to AWS S3 or any S3-compatible storage provider. This allows you to keep full ownership of your files and integrate captures into existing pipelines.

When using S3-compatible storage, screenshots and videos are uploaded immediately after capture. Files are never treated as long-term primary storage inside the platform.

What is S3-compatible storage?

S3-compatible storage refers to object storage services that implement the Amazon S3 API. These services accept the same authentication, bucket, and object semantics as AWS S3.

  • • Bucket-based object storage
  • • Key-based file paths
  • • Access via access key & secret
  • • Compatible with standard S3 tooling

Supported providers

You can use AWS S3 itself or any provider that exposes an S3-compatible endpoint.

  • • Amazon S3
  • • Backblaze B2 (S3 API)
  • • Wasabi
  • • MinIO
  • • Any private or on-prem S3-compatible service

How delivery works

  1. 1. A capture finishes (screenshot or video).
  2. 2. The file is prepared for upload.
  3. 3. The system authenticates using your S3 credentials.
  4. 4. The object is uploaded to the configured bucket and path.
  5. 5. The schedule run is marked complete.

If the upload fails, the run may retry depending on your Retry & Stability settings.

Configuration fields

  • Endpoint URL – S3 or S3-compatible endpoint
  • Bucket Name – destination bucket
  • Access Key – API access key
  • Secret Key – API secret
  • Region – required for AWS S3
  • Path Prefix (optional) – folder-like structure

File structure

Files are uploaded using deterministic paths to make automation and retrieval easy.
