FREE PLAN
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".
