Turn your web page into a hardware accelerated video via API

Pagecorder is an API that records your web page as video, including screen and audio. It's performance-oriented and supports 60 FPS at 4K. Just add two JavaScript calls to your page to signal the start and end of the recording, post the link (or a self-contained ZIP bundle) to the API, and voilà! Use it for social video from HTML templates, animated dashboards, product demos, or CSS/Canvas/WebGL motion graphics. Recordings are billed per second. Failed jobs are free.
Congrats on the launch, Philippe.
The ZIP archive mode is the detail that tells me you've actually run this in production. Network jitter and CDN flakiness are exactly how "it worked in testing" becomes "why is frame 47 blank." Reproducible recordings are underrated.
The per-second billing with free failed jobs is also the right call. Nothing kills API adoption faster than paying for broken renders while you're still figuring out the integration.
Honest question: at 60 FPS 4K, what does latency look like on a typical job? That's the number that'll determine whether this fits into a real-time pipeline or stays a batch process.
@ryanwmcc1 The latency almost exclusively depends on load! Every video gets rendered in a queue, and if the queue is empty you can expect a total render time of about the length of the video and however long it takes to upload it.
