Have you ever gotten stuck on the problem of capturing a full-length of the web page?
Screen capture is getting more and more important for communication, presentations, education, etc. When you take a screen capture of a web page, your screenshot are the things that are visible on the screen. But for capturing the scrolling webpage, it is not easy to operate. You need to make use of some screen capture tools to help you make it. So in this post, I'll show you how to take a scrolling screenshot on your computer step by step.
To capture a scrolling screenshot on Chrome without a browser extension, just open Chrome and open the web page you want to capture. Then click the three dots in the upper right corner, point to More Tools, then hit on Developer Tools.
In the top right of the panel, click the three dots, then click Run Command.
In the command line, type Screenshot and then click Capture full-size screenshot from the list of commands available. Then the captured image will be downloaded to your computer automatically.
Another way to take scrolling screenshots is to use Snagit, which not only allows users to take a full screenshot of a web page, but also record activities happening on the screen. Note that Snagit is not freeware, but it has a 15-day free trial.
To take a full screenshot of a web page, follow the steps below:
Step 1 Download and install Snagit on your PC or Mac. Choose the Image mode and hit on Selection. Make sure that you choose Scrolling Window.
Step 2 Click on the red Capture button on the top right corner. Locate the web page you want to screenshot, then move the cursor to that area. Then, you'll see three yellow arrow buttons: Capture Vertical Scrolling Area, Capture Horizontal Scrolling Area and Capture Entire Scrolling Area. Choose one option and click it.
Step 3 Next, Snagit will scroll the page automatically and capture the off-screen parts. Once done, your Snagit Editor panel window will appear. Before saving the scroll screenshot, you can edit it with ease.
Apart from the above two ways, you can also use a screen recorder to capture the scrolling image or entire screen of a web page. Blu-ray Master Screen Recorder lets you take the screenshots for any screen on your computer. Whether you want to take a long scrolling screenshot, or capture a full screen or a specific area, it can be done easily. Once done, you can pin to screen, edit the image and export the images to your computer.
Capture the scrolling screenshot and save as PNG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF.
Edit the screenshot like add a shape, input text, draw a line, spray, and more.
Customize the screenshot location and save it anywhere on your computer.
