Attribution requirements

The free plan is forever free. By default, a small WebShot.co watermark is applied to images on free accounts.

If you add a public HTML backlink to WebShot.co from your website, we will remove the watermark/branding on your account.

Upgrade to any paid plan to remove all attribution requirements entirely.

How backlink attribution works

Must be on your production site (not staging or localhost)
Must be publicly accessible and viewable in browsers
Must pass referrer data (remove any noreferrer attributes)

Implementation

Add this link on any page displaying WebShot-generated Open Graph images (or add it to your site footer):

<a href="https://www.webshot.co">Open Graph images by WebShot.co</a>

Placement options

In the site footer
On About / Help / Credits pages

Frequently asked questions

What if my app is behind a login?: Place the backlink attribution on a public page such as your marketing site or help center where it is accessible.
Can I use staging domains during development?: Yes, staging and localhost are fine for testing. For production usage, attribution must exist on your live domain.
What if my attribution link isn’t being accepted?: Ensure the page is public, visible, and passes referrer data. Avoid using rel="noreferrer".
