Take a scrolling screenshot in five steps
- Install PageShotter and open the webpage you want to capture.
- Open the extension and choose Capture full page.
- Keep the source tab active while PageShotter measures and moves through the page.
- Review the assembled screenshot on the result page.
- Edit if needed, then copy the result or export PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF.
You do not need to scroll by hand during the capture. PageShotter advances through measured sections, captures each visible area and aligns the sections into one result.
What happens while the page scrolls
PageShotter gives nearby lazy-loaded content a bounded chance to settle before each section is captured. It recalculates the page height as it goes and handles many fixed or sticky elements so they are not stamped into every section.
Scrolling screenshot or visible-area screenshot?
| Capture | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Full page | You need the content above and below the current viewport as one continuous screenshot. |
| Visible area | You need exactly what is on screen now, including the current scroll position. |
| Region | You need a rectangular part of what is currently visible. |
| Element | You want PageShotter to find the boundary of one element after you Ctrl-click it. |
When a scrolling screenshot needs another try
An image is missing
Set Wait for images to a longer ceiling in PageShotter settings, return to the source page, and capture it again. The wait ends early when nearby images are ready.
The page moved during capture
Keep the source tab active and do not scroll by hand until the result page opens. PageShotter needs control of the page position to align each section.
The wrong area scrolled
Dashboards can contain several competing scroll areas. PageShotter detects many app-style layouts, but if it chooses the wrong one, send a safe public test case through Support.
Check the limits before a long capture
Capture depth, single-image dimensions, WebP and full-depth PDF each have a different boundary. The full-page screenshot limits keep the current figures and explain what PageShotter does when a result crosses one.
Save or edit the result
After capture, use the screenshot editor to crop, add text, shapes and arrows, highlight details or blur an area. Then save the scrolling screenshot as PNG, JPEG or WebP, copy it to the clipboard, or export the screenshot to PDF.
