What is Lightpanda?

The headless browser built from scratch for AI agents and automation. Not a Chromium fork. Not a WebKit patch. A new browser, written in Zig. 16x lighter and 9x faster than Chromium.

  • Built from scratch: Not reliant on existing browsers.
  • Created with Zig: Developed in a low-level system programming language designed for performance and efficiency.
  • Focused and opinionated: Purpose-built for headless operation, without rendering overhead.

Building a web browser from scratch is a monumental challenge, one that few have attempted.

We took it on because automation and AI demand a fresh foundation, not wrappers on a legacy tech stack.

At our previous company, we scraped millions of web pages a day, and spent years navigating the pain of scaling scraping infrastructure with Chrome.

We knew the only real solution was to start over.

Lightpanda is here to change the game. We want to enable developers and businesses to do more with less.

We're building something ambitious and unconventional.
