🖼️ WebP screenshots

page.screenshot() and locator.screenshot() can now capture screenshots in the WebP format. Playwright infers the format from a .webp file extension, or you can set the type explicitly. Quality 100 (the default) is lossless, while lower values use lossy compression:

page.screenshot(path="homepage.webp", quality=50)

New APIs

New scroll option ("auto" | "none") on actions to opt out of Playwright's automatic scrolling into view.
New locator.wait_for_function() waits until a function called with the matching element returns a truthy value.
New apiResponse.timing() returns resource timing information for an API response.

Announcements

📋 The clipboard is now isolated from the operating system in headless mode, so tests that use navigator.clipboard no longer read or overwrite the clipboard of the machine running them.
⚠️ Debian 11 is not supported anymore.

🔑 WebAuthn passkeys

New Credentials virtual authenticator, available via browserContext.credentials, lets tests register passkeys and answer navigator.credentials.create() / navigator.credentials.get() ceremonies in the page — no real hardware key required, works in all browsers:

context = browser.new_context()

# Seed a passkey your backend provisioned for a test user.
context.credentials.create("example.com",
    id=credential_id,
    user_handle=user_handle,
    private_key=private_key,
    public_key=public_key,
)
context.credentials.install()

page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://example.com/login")

# The page's navigator.credentials.get() is answered with the seeded passkey.

You can also let the app register a passkey once in a setup test, read it back with credentials.get(), and seed it into later tests — see Credentials for details.

🗃️ Web Storage

New WebStorage API, available via page.localStorage and page.sessionStorage, reads and writes the page's storage for the current origin:

page.local_storage.set_item("token", "abc")
token = page.local_storage.get_item("token")
items = page.session_storage.items()

New APIs

apiResponse.security_details() and apiResponse.server_addr() mirror the browser-side response.security_details() and response.server_addr().
New option artifacts_dir in browserType.connect_over_cdp() controls where artifacts such as traces and downloads are stored when attached to an existing browser.
New option cursor in screencast.show_actions() controls the cursor decoration rendered for pointer actions.
The on_frame callback in screencast.start() now receives a timestamp of when the frame was presented by the browser.

🛠️ Other improvements

Playwright now supports Ubuntu 26.04.
HAR and trace recordings now include WebSocket requests.

🐍 Python improvements

New FormData class for building multipart/form-data request bodies — pass to api_request_context.post(form=…) etc.
expect.soft(...) soft assertions collect multiple failures in a test instead of stopping at the first one. Requires up-to-date pytest integration to work.
All timeout parameters now accept datetime.timedelta — applies wherever a timeout is taken, e.g. page.goto(), locator.click(), expect(...).to_be_visible().
Async context manager support across more APIs — async with now works for objects returned from screencast.show_actions(), screencast.show_overlays(), etc.
page.expect_request(...) and page.expect_response(...) now accept async predicates.
Typed overloads for expect_event / wait_for_event so the event payload type is inferred per event name.

🌐 HAR recording on Tracing

tracing.start_har() / tracing.stop_har() expose HAR recording as a first-class tracing API, with the same content, mode and url_filter options as record_har:

context.tracing.start_har("trace.har")
page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://playwright.dev")
context.tracing.stop_har()

🪝 Drop API

New locator.drop() simulates an external drag-and-drop of files or clipboard-like data onto an element. Playwright dispatches dragenter, dragover, and drop with a synthetic DataTransfer in the page context — works cross-browser and is great for testing upload zones:

page.locator("#dropzone").drop(
    files={"name": "note.txt", "mime_type": "text/plain", "buffer": b"hello"},
)

page.locator("#dropzone").drop(
    data={
        "text/plain": "hello world",
        "text/uri-list": "https://example.com",
    },
)

🎯 Aria snapshots

expect(page).to_match_aria_snapshot() now works on a Page, in addition to a Locator — equivalent to asserting against page.locator("body").
New boxes option on locator.aria_snapshot() / page.aria_snapshot() appends each element's bounding box as [box=x,y,width,height], useful for AI consumption.

New APIs

Browser, Context and Page

Event browser.on("context") — fired when a new context is created on the browser.
BrowserContext now mirrors lifecycle events from its pages: browser_context.on("download"), browser_context.on("frameattached"), browser_context.on("framedetached"), browser_context.on("framenavigated"), browser_context.on("pageclose"), browser_context.on("pageload").

Locators and Assertions

New option description in page.get_by_role() / locator.get_by_role() / frame.get_by_role() / frame_locator.get_by_role() for matching the accessible description.
New option pseudo in expect(locator).to_have_css() reads computed styles from ::before or ::after.
New option style in locator.highlight() applies extra inline CSS to the highlight overlay, plus new page.hide_highlight() to clear all highlights.

Network

web_socket_route.protocols() returns the WebSocket subprotocols requested by the page.
New option no_defaults in browser_type.connect_over_cdp() disables Playwright's default overrides on the default context (download behavior, focus emulation, media emulation), so attaching to a user's daily-driver browser doesn't disturb its state.

Errors

New web_error.location() mirrors console_message.location().
console_message.location() now exposes line / column properties (line_number / column_number are deprecated).

🛠️ Other improvements

Trace Viewer adds a pretty-print toggle for JSON / form request and response bodies in the network details panel.

Breaking Changes ⚠️

Removed long-deprecated handle option on browser_context.expose_binding() and page.expose_binding().

🎬 Screencast

New page.screencast API provides a unified interface for capturing page content with:

Screencast recordings
Action annotations
Visual overlays
Real-time frame capture
Agentic video receipts

Screencast recording — record video with precise start/stop control, as an alternative to the recordVideoDir option:

page.screencast.start(path="video.webm")

# ... perform actions ...
page.screencast.stop()

Action annotations — enable built-in visual annotations that highlight interacted elements and display action titles during recording:

page.screencast.show_actions(position="top-right")

screencast.show_actions() accepts position ('top-left', 'top', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', 'bottom', 'bottom-right'), duration (ms per annotation), and font_size (px). Returns a disposable to stop showing actions.

Visual overlays — add chapter titles and custom HTML overlays on top of the page for richer narration:

page.screencast.show_chapter("Adding TODOs",
    description="Type and press enter for each TODO",
    duration=1000,
)

page.screencast.show_overlay('<div style="color: red">Recording</div>')

Real-time frame capture — stream JPEG-encoded frames for custom processing like thumbnails, live previews, AI vision, and more:

page.screencast.start(
    on_frame=lambda frame: send_to_vision_model(frame["data"]),
)

Agentic video receipts — coding agents can produce video evidence of their work. After completing a task, an agent can record a walkthrough video with rich annotations for human review:

page.screencast.start(path="receipt.webm")
page.screencast.show_actions(position="top-right")

page.screencast.show_chapter("Verifying checkout flow",
    description="Added coupon code support per ticket #&#8203;1234",
)

# Agent performs the verification steps...
page.locator("#coupon").fill("SAVE20")
page.locator("#apply-coupon").click()
expect(page.locator(".discount")).to_contain_text("20%")

page.screencast.show_chapter("Done",
    description="Coupon applied, discount reflected in total",
)

page.screencast.stop()

The resulting video serves as a receipt: chapter titles provide context, action annotations highlight each interaction, and the visual walkthrough is faster to review than text logs.

🔍 Snapshots and Locators

Method page.aria_snapshot() to capture the aria snapshot of the page — equivalent to page.locator('body').aria_snapshot().
Options depth and mode in locator.aria_snapshot().
Method locator.normalize() converts a locator to follow best practices like test ids and aria roles.
Method page.pick_locator() enters an interactive mode where hovering over elements highlights them and shows the corresponding locator. Click an element to get its Locator back. Use page.cancel_pick_locator() to cancel.

New APIs

Screencast

page.screencast provides video recording, real-time frame streaming, and overlay management.
Methods screencast.start() and screencast.stop() for recording and frame capture.
Methods screencast.show_actions() and screencast.hide_actions() for action annotations.
Methods screencast.show_chapter() and screencast.show_overlay() for visual overlays.
Methods screencast.show_overlays() and screencast.hide_overlays() for overlay visibility control.

Storage, Console and Errors

Method browser_context.set_storage_state() clears existing cookies, local storage, and IndexedDB for all origins and sets a new storage state — no need to create a new context.
Methods page.clear_console_messages() and page.clear_page_errors() to clear stored messages and errors.
Option filter in page.console_messages() and page.page_errors() controls which messages are returned.
Method console_message.timestamp().

Miscellaneous

browser_context.debugger provides programmatic control over the Playwright debugger.
Method browser_context.is_closed().
Method request.existing_response() returns the response without waiting.
Method response.http_version() returns the HTTP version used by the response.
Option live in tracing.start() for real-time trace updates.
Option artifacts_dir in browser_type.launch() to configure the artifacts directory.

🔗 Interoperability

New browser.bind() API makes a launched browser available for playwright-cli, @playwright/mcp, and other clients to connect to.

Bind a browser — start a browser and bind it so others can connect:

server_info = await browser.bind("my-session",
    workspace_dir="/my/project",
)

Connect from playwright-cli — connect to the running browser from your favorite coding agent.

playwright-cli attach my-session
playwright-cli -s my-session snapshot

Connect from @playwright/mcp — or point your MCP server to the running browser.

@playwright/mcp --endpoint=my-session

Connect from a Playwright client — use API to connect to the browser. Multiple clients at a time are supported!

browser = await chromium.connect(server_info["endpoint"])

Pass host and port options to bind over WebSocket instead of a named pipe:

server_info = await browser.bind("my-session",
    host="localhost",
    port=0,
)

# server_info["endpoint"] is a ws:// URL

Call browser.unbind() to stop accepting new connections.

📊 Observability

Run playwright-cli show to open the Dashboard that lists all the bound browsers, their statuses, and allows interacting with them:

See what your agent is doing on the background browsers
Click into the sessions for manual interventions
Open DevTools to inspect pages from the background browsers.

- `playwright-cli` binds all of its browsers automatically, so you can see what your agents are doing.

Chrome for Testing

Starting with this release, Playwright switches from Chromium, to using Chrome for Testing builds. Both headed and headless browsers are subject to this. Your tests should still be passing after upgrading to Playwright 1.57.

We're expecting no functional changes to come from this switch. The biggest change is the new icon and title in your toolbar.

If you still see an unexpected behaviour change, please file an issue.

On Arm64 Linux, Playwright continues to use Chromium.

Breaking Change

After 3 years of being deprecated, we removed page.accessibility from our API. Please use other libraries such as Axe if you need to test page accessibility. See our Node.js guide for integration with Axe.

New APIs

worker.on("console") event is emitted when JavaScript within the worker calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir. worker.expect_event() can be used to wait for it.
locator.description() returns locator description previously set with locator.describe().
New option steps in locator.click() and locator.drag_to() that configures the number of mousemove events emitted while moving the mouse pointer to the target element.
Network requests issued by Service Workers are now reported and can be routed through the BrowserContext, only in Chromium. You can opt out using the PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_NETWORK environment variable.
Console messages from Service Workers are dispatched through worker.on("console"). You can opt out of this using the PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_CONSOLE environment variable.

New option indexed_db for browserContext.storage_state() allows to save and restore IndexedDB contents. Useful when your application uses IndexedDB API to store authentication tokens, like Firebase Authentication.

Here is an example following the authentication guide:

Save storage state into the file. Make sure to include IndexedDB.

storage = context.storage_state(path="state.json", indexed_db=True)

Create a new context with the saved storage state.

context = browser.new_context(storage_state="state.json")


* New option [`visible`](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-filter-option-visible) for [locator.filter()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-filter) allows matching only visible elements.

```python

### Ignore invisible todo items.
todo_items = page.get_by_test_id("todo-item").filter(visible=True)

### Check there are exactly 3 visible ones.
expect(todo_items).to_have_count(3)

Breaking: `chrome` and `msedge` channels switch to new headless mode

This change affects you if you're using one of the following channels in your playwright.config.ts:

chrome, chrome-dev, chrome-beta, or chrome-canary
msedge, msedge-dev, msedge-beta, or msedge-canary

After updating to Playwright v1.49, run your test suite. If it still passes, you're good to go. If not, you will probably need to update your snapshots, and adapt some of your test code around PDF viewers and extensions. See issue #33566 for more details.

Try new Chromium headless

You can opt into the new headless mode by using 'chromium' channel. As official Chrome documentation puts it:

New Headless on the other hand is the real Chrome browser, and is thus more authentic, reliable, and offers more features. This makes it more suitable for high-accuracy end-to-end web app testing or browser extension testing.

See issue #33566 for the list of possible breakages you could encounter and more details on Chromium headless. Please file an issue if you see any problems after opting in.

TLS Client Certificates

Playwright now allows to supply client-side certificates, so that server can verify them, as specified by TLS Client Authentication.

You can provide client certificates as a parameter of browser.new_context() and api_request.new_context(). The following snippet sets up a client certificate for https://example.com:

context = browser.new_context(
    client_certificates=[
        {
            "origin": "https://example.com",
            "certPath": "client-certificates/cert.pem",
            "keyPath": "client-certificates/key.pem",
        }
    ],
)

When using the Pytest plugin, it can be added like this:

@&#8203;pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def browser_context_args(browser_context_args):
    return {
        **browser_context_args,
        "client_certificates": [
            {
                "origin": "https://example.com",

Clock

Utilizing the new Clock API allows to manipulate and control time within tests to verify time-related behavior. This API covers many common scenarios, including:

testing with predefined time;
keeping consistent time and timers;
monitoring inactivity;
ticking through time manually.

### Initialize clock with some time before the test time and let the page load
### naturally. `Date.now` will progress as the timers fire.
page.clock.install(time=datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 8, 0, 0))
page.goto("http://localhost:3333")

### Pretend that the user closed the laptop lid and opened it again at 10am.
### Pause the time once reached that point.
page.clock.pause_at(datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 2, 10, 0, 0))

### Assert the page state.
expect(page.get_by_test_id("current-time")).to_have_text("2/2/2024, 10:00:00 AM")

### Close the laptop lid again and open it at 10:30am.
page.clock.fast_forward("30:00")
expect(page.get_by_test_id("current-time")).to_have_text("2/2/2024, 10:30:00 AM")

See the clock guide for more details.

Miscellaneous

Method locator.setInputFiles() now supports uploading a directory for <input type=file webkitdirectory> elements.
```
page.get_by_label("Upload directory").set_input_files('mydir')
```
Multiple methods like locator.click() or locator.press() now support a ControlOrMeta modifier key. This key maps to Meta on macOS and maps to Control on Windows and Linux.

Press the common keyboard shortcut Control+S or Meta+S to trigger a "Save" operation.

page.keyboard.press("ControlOrMeta+S")

- New property `httpCredentials.send` in [apiRequest.newContext()](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequest#api-request-new-context) that allows to either always send the `Authorization` header or only send it in response to `401 Unauthorized`.
- Playwright now supports Chromium, Firefox and WebKit on Ubuntu 24.04.
- v1.45 is the last release to receive WebKit update for macOS 12 Monterey. Please update macOS to keep using the latest WebKit.

New APIs

Accessibility assertions

expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name() checks if the element has the specified accessible name:
```
locator = page.get_by_role("button")
expect(locator).to_have_accessible_name("Submit")
```
expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description() checks if the element has the specified accessible description:
```
locator = page.get_by_role("button")
expect(locator).to_have_accessible_description("Upload a photo")
```

expect(locator).to_have_role() checks if the element has the specified ARIA role:

locator = page.get_by_test_id("save-button")
expect(locator).to_have_role("button")

Locator handler

After executing the handler added with page.add_locator_handler(), Playwright will now wait until the overlay that triggered the handler is not visible anymore. You can opt-out of this behavior with the new no_wait_after option.
You can use new times option in page.add_locator_handler() to specify maximum number of times the handler should be run.
The handler in page.add_locator_handler() now accepts the locator as argument.
New page.remove_locator_handler() method for removing previously added locator handlers.

locator = page.get_by_text("This interstitial covers the button")
page.add_locator_handler(locator, lambda overlay: overlay.locator("#close").click(), times=3, no_wait_after=True)

### Run your tests that can be interrupted by the overlay.
### ...
page.remove_locator_handler(locator)

Miscellaneous options

expect(page).to_have_url() now supports ignore_case option.

Method BrowserContext.clear_cookies([options]) now supports filters to remove only some cookies.

Clear all cookies.

context.clear_cookies()

New: clear cookies with a particular name.

context.clear_cookies(name="session-id")

New: clear cookies for a particular domain.

context.clear_cookies(domain="my-origin.com")


- New method [locator.content_frame](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator#locator-content-frame) converts a {@link Locator} object to a [FrameLocator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-framelocator). This can be useful when you have a [Locator](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-locator) object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the content inside the frame.

```python
locator = page.locator("iframe[name='embedded']")

### ...
frame_locator = locator.content_frame
frame_locator.getByRole("button").click()

New method frameLocator.owner converts a FrameLocator object to a Locator. This can be useful when you have a FrameLocator object obtained somewhere, and later on would like to interact with the iframe element.
```
frame_locator = page.frame_locator("iframe[name='embedded']")
```

...

locator = frame_locator.owner
expect(locator).to_be_visible()
