Introducing Snapoena - The Complete Web Evidence Platform
Published April 2, 2026
We built Snapoena because taking legally credible screenshots was unnecessarily hard. If you have ever needed to document what a website showed at a specific moment - for a DMCA takedown, a trademark dispute, an HR investigation, or an insurance claim - you know the problem. Free screenshot tools produce flat image files with no verification. They are trivial to edit and impossible to authenticate in a legal proceeding. On the other end, enterprise forensic tools cost $15 to $30 or more per capture, locking out solo practitioners, small firms, and anyone who needs evidence without a procurement budget.
Snapoena fills the middle ground. Professional evidence capture with cryptographic verification, trusted timestamps, and a comprehensive evidence bundle - free to start, with paid tiers for teams that need unlimited captures and API access.
The Evidence Package - Everything in One ZIP
Every Snapoena capture produces a complete evidence bundle - a single ZIP download containing everything you need to prove what a web page showed and when. This is the most comprehensive capture package of any tool in the market. Here is what you get:
- screenshot.png - Full-page screenshot captured server-side, with a metadata bar showing the URL, UTC capture time, and SHA-256 hash embedded directly in the image.
- source.html - The complete HTML source code of the page at the moment of capture. Preserves hidden elements, meta tags, embedded links, and code comments that a screenshot alone cannot show.
- page.mhtml - A full MHTML web archive bundling HTML, CSS, and images into a single file. This lets anyone reopen the page exactly as it appeared, even if the original goes offline.
- report.pdf - A Bates-stamped PDF evidence report with a cover page summarizing the capture - URL, timestamp, file hashes, and a visual preview. Ready to hand to a lawyer or submit as an exhibit.
- timestamp.tsr - An RFC 3161 trusted timestamp response from an independent Time Stamp Authority. This cryptographically certifies when the capture was made using a third-party clock and signing key that neither you nor Snapoena can manipulate.
- whois.txt - WHOIS domain registration record captured at the same moment, documenting who owned the domain when the content was live.
- dns-records.txt - DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME) showing where the domain pointed at the time of capture.
- tls-certificate.txt- The TLS/SSL certificate of the server, proving the site's identity and encryption status at the time of capture.
- network.har - An HTTP Archive recording of every network request made during page load - servers contacted, resources loaded, response status codes, and timing.
- page-text.txt - The visible text content extracted from the page DOM. Useful for full-text search and accessibility review of evidence.
- evidence-summary.txt - A plain-text verification file listing the SHA-256 hash of every file in the bundle, with instructions for anyone - your lawyer, the opposing party, a judge - to independently verify nothing has been altered.
No other tool on the market bundles this much into a single download. Most stop at a screenshot and maybe a timestamp. Snapoena captures the full picture - visual, structural, network-level, and cryptographic - so you never have to go back and recapture because you missed something.
Key Features
Two Capture Methods - Server-Side and Browser Extension
Snapoena offers two ways to capture evidence, each designed for different situations. Server-side capturedispatches a headless browser from Snapoena's servers to visit a public URL. The capture comes from a neutral third party - not your machine - making it harder to argue the evidence was manipulated. This is the gold standard for public pages.
For content behind login walls - social media posts visible only to connections, private marketplace listings, internal dashboards - the Snapoena Chrome Extension captures directly from your browser session. You see the content, the extension captures it, and the same verification pipeline processes it. Both methods produce the same evidence bundle.
RFC 3161 Trusted Timestamps
Your computer clock is easy to fake. Snapoena submits a hash of every capture to an independent RFC 3161 Time Stamp Authority, which signs it with a trusted clock you cannot control. Courts and arbitration panels recognize these timestamps as reliable proof of when digital evidence existed.
One-Click Evidence Bundle
Everything downloads in a single ZIP. No assembling files from different tools, no manual renaming, no hoping you captured everything. One click, one download, ready to attach to a legal filing.
PDF Evidence Reports with QR Verification
Every capture generates a professional PDF report with a cover page, metadata summary, and a visual preview of the screenshot. Each report includes a QR code that links to the original capture for instant verification. Print it, email it, attach it as an exhibit - it reads like a forensic report, not a data dump.
Screenshot Tools - Annotate, Crop, Redact, Zoom
After capture, you can annotate screenshots with arrows, text, and highlights to draw attention to specific content. Crop to isolate the relevant portion. Redact sensitive information before sharing. Zoom into fine details. All without leaving Snapoena or opening a separate image editor.
Bulk Capture for Brand Protection
Need to document dozens of infringing pages for a DMCA takedown or UDRP complaint? Bulk capture mode lets you paste a list of URLs and capture them all at once. Each URL gets its own full evidence bundle.
API for Automation
The Snapoena REST API lets you integrate evidence capture into your existing workflows. One HTTP POST returns a capture with screenshot, hash, and timestamp. Build it into your trademark monitoring pipeline, your compliance archiving system, or your legal tech stack.
Dark Mode, Print-Optimized, Accessible
Snapoena supports dark mode for comfortable use in any lighting. Evidence reports and capture pages are print-optimized so you can go directly from screen to paper exhibit. The interface follows accessibility best practices with proper focus outlines, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
Pricing - Professional Evidence, Free to Start
We wanted Snapoena to be accessible to everyone who needs evidence capture - not just large firms with enterprise budgets. Here is how pricing works:
- Free - 10 captures per hour with the full evidence package. PNG and PDF downloads, SHA-256 hashing, RFC 3161 timestamps, DOM/HTML source capture, and 7-day storage. No credit card required.
- Professional ($39/month) - Unlimited captures with 1-year storage retention. Priority capture queue, API access, and custom branding on evidence reports. Built for legal professionals and IP practitioners who need regular captures.
- Enterprise (custom pricing) - Everything in Professional plus unlimited storage retention, bulk capture mode, practice management integrations (Clio, MyCase), dedicated support, and custom TSA configuration. Built for firms and organizations with high-volume needs.
Every tier gets the same evidence package. Free users get the same SHA-256 hashes, the same RFC 3161 timestamps, and the same evidence bundles as paid users. The difference is volume, retention, and automation features - not evidence quality.
The Chrome Extension - Capture What You See
The most important evidence is often behind login walls. A defamatory social media post visible only to connections. A private marketplace listing showing counterfeit goods. A direct message thread proving harassment. Server-side tools cannot reach these pages because they have no session credentials.
The Snapoena Chrome Extension runs inside your browser, capturing exactly what you see - including logged-in pages, social media feeds, and private dashboards. The captured data is sent to your private Snapoena account for processing, and you get the same evidence bundle as a server-side capture. No one else can see your captures. They are never displayed publicly, never shared with other users, and never indexed by search engines.
Who Snapoena Is For
Snapoena serves anyone who needs documented proof of web content. Some of the people already using it:
- IP attorneys and trademark counsel - Documenting online trademark infringement, building evidence portfolios for cease and desist letters, and filing DMCA and UDRP complaints with properly timestamped evidence.
- Brand protection teams - Monitoring for counterfeit products on e-commerce platforms, capturing evidence at scale with bulk mode and the API, and building documentation for platform takedown requests.
- HR departments - Capturing social media evidence for workplace investigations, documenting policy violations, and preserving records of online harassment or misconduct.
- Solo practitioners and small firms - Getting the same evidence quality as enterprise tools without the enterprise price. Free tier covers occasional captures, Professional covers regular use.

- Anyone who needs proof - Whether you are documenting a social media post for a family law case, preserving a pricing page before it changes, or recording an online interaction for your records, Snapoena gives you verifiable evidence instead of an unverified screenshot.
