Screenshot of the entire page. We take a screenshot of the page - third-party programs, OS tools. Screenshot - from English. "shot", "snapshot"

It would seem that a screenshot of the screen - what could be simpler? But what if you need to save not only the part visible on the monitor, but the full page of the site, scrolling to the very bottom? Or take a picture of a page from Word, but the page just doesn’t fit on the monitor screen? And even more so if there are several of these pages. For example, some important agreement. What to do then? There is no way to get by with standard ones! This is what we will talk about now.

I'll start the article with a short introduction for novice users. About, Which methods are best to use for taking screenshots: online or offline?. If you have already decided on this issue, then you can immediately move on to ready-made solutions. The article describes several working options. There are very good ones, and also those that are simply not worth wasting time on.

I periodically check the quality of work of each resource.

Offline programs:

Online services:

When you need a screenshot of an entire page, which method should you choose: online or offline?

Let me just give the pros and cons of these and other methods, and it will be easier for you to choose what to use when creating a screenshot in principle.

Online services for creating a screenshot of an entire website page

Pros:

No additional software installation required.
Services are available from any device.

Minuses:

Online services may not be available due to technical reasons. For their technical reasons, as a rule. I've encountered this several times.
Poor quality of the final work result. This is explained by the fact that most of the services are either shareware or poorly supported by their developers.
Applicable only to website pages. For example, it is no longer possible to take a screenshot of a multi-page Word document.

Offline programs for creating a screenshot of a full page

Pros:

You can take not only a screenshot of a website page, but also a screenshot of any long page or multi-page document. This applies to documents Word-like text editors, spreadsheets like Excel, PDF-files.
Built-in editing capabilities of the resulting image.
Data security control. Confidentiality is maintained when scanning documents. You do not upload the document to a third-party service.
Supports a large number of formats for saving the resulting file.

Minuses:

The need to install additional software.

Screenshot of the entire website page in the program FastStone

Program FastStone Capture(Windows only) which I will tell you about is distributed under the following conditions: You can freely use (test) the program for a 30-day continuous period after downloading (installing) it. After 30 days, you must either purchase a license to use the program on the developer’s website, or immediately delete it. Information about the terms of use is available on the website at http://www.faststone.org/order.htmand

FastStone MaxView are shareware. You may try the software free for 30 days. Once this 30-day period has expired, you must either purchase a license to use it, or uninstall it from your computer promptly.

To install, download the program FastStone Capture can be found on the official website: http://www.faststone.org/FSCapturerDownload.htm

Open FastStone by double clicking on the shortcut or from the list of installed programs. In this case, a small program menu will appear on your desktop screen. Here it is enlarged. You can drag the menu to any part of the screen. It will be displayed on top of any windows until you force close it by clicking on the cross at the top right.

To take a screenshot of a full web page, click the “Scrolling Window Capture” icon in the menu.

The program will automatically “highlight” the intended scanning area and prompt you to select a scrolling option. This window will appear in the lower right corner of the selected area.

Select “Autoscroll” and the program will do everything itself right before your eyes. After scanning the entire site page, the created screenshot will automatically open in the program editor.

The editor is small but convenient. It offers cropping, resizing and some effects: watermark, frame, torn edge of the picture, color change, and some effects.

I made a short video in which I took a screenshot of one of the pages of this site, an article. And here is a link to the picture itself, which turned out in the end: sample of the resulting screenshot.

It is not for nothing that they say that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.

Screenshot of the entire website page in the program PicPick

PicPick is located at: http://ngwin.com/picpick. Completely free, at least for non-commercial (home) use. Downloading and installing the program is very simple. You can do it without difficulty.

Open PicPick, or if the program is currently open, click "File" in the top left corner of the main menu.

From the list of suggested tasks, select Scrolling Window.

A small screen capture menu will appear in front of you, it looks like this. The "Capture Scrolling Window" button is already pressed, no need to press it again.

Now, click with the mouse on the area that needs to be scanned, for example, on the website page of which you want to take a screenshot (anywhere on the page). The area will be highlighted with a frame, and the words “Autoscroll” will appear in the upper left corner of this frame.
Click on this inscription. The program itself will take care of everything. She will lazily scroll to the very end of the page. As a result, you will receive a full screenshot of the site page.

You can crop the resulting image directly in PicPick. Also see on our website.

PicPick is an excellent workhorse for taking a screenshot of a full website page. Multifunctional screen capture, clear image editor menu, color selection, color palette, adding text, arrows, shapes, pixel ruler, protractor, shadows, frames, watermarks, mosaic, blur, brightness adjustment, zoom and much more.

Minuses:

For Word, Excel, PDF documents, the program takes a screenshot of only the visible part of the screen.

Pros:

The built-in editor is quite multifunctional. It deserves a separate article, but in this one you will have to limit yourself to a few screenshots of the working menu. I would also like to note the possibility of applying watermark on the screenshot, and the process can be automated.
Automatic scanning of a full website page.
Several formats are available for saving a screenshot: PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, PDF. True, the program, although it saves files in PDF format, does not know how to open them in it. So, if you use it as an editor, then for PDF images you will first need to convert them to JPEG.

Result:

I recommend.

As a short presentation, I propose to evaluate the program’s working menu in general terms. Of course, many of the buttons on this menu hide submenu lists. To tell in detail, you will have to write a real operating manual. But this is a topic for another article.

Here is another interesting option that can be useful when scanning a website page or document containing small fragments. This is a “magnifying glass” in the shape of an ellipse, a circle, with the help of which small details can easily be made large right on the screenshot.

Service S-shot.ru

Located at: https://www.s-shot.ru/

Don't forget to check the "full size" checkbox. When it is checked, scanning is done from the entire page; when unchecked, only from the part that is visible on the monitor. The service interface looks like this:

Minuses:

Quantitative restrictions on free use. Up to 100 pictures per day and up to 1000 per month (from one IP address).

Pros:

Result:

Quite a working option.

Online service Snapito

Located at: https://snapito.com/

A good solution when you need to quickly make a copy of a website page and save it in JPEG format. The service also claims to convert to PDF, but several attempts I made to save the image in this format were unsuccessful. I had to do some additional image processing. It is also impossible to take a screenshot of a Word or Excel document using this service “without intermediaries.” That is, in principle, this is possible if you place a Word file on the Internet, upload its contents to Google Docs, configure access rights to the resulting page (I did full access), and then paste the link to this page into the appropriate input field on the Snapito website .com. But why such difficulties when the offline program described above can do everything easily and simply.

Minuses:

Takes a screenshot only in JPG format.

Pros:

High-quality work without scanning failures.
Adjusting the size of the future screenshot before scanning.

Result:

Quite a working option.

Screenshotmachine service

Located at: https://www.screenshotmachine.com/index.php

Despite the promised “full length screenshot”, no full length could be achieved from this service. Registration on the site also did not lead to anything.

Minuses:

Takes a screenshot of only the visible part of the screen! Doesn't make a copy of the entire page. And this despite the declared functionality and the presence of a paid version! This error in operation was recorded on May 28, 2018. Perhaps the situation will change, but today I’m giving it a minus. As of March 21, 2019, the situation is no better.
Supports PNG format only.

Pros:

Simulates the appearance of a website page on a tablet and mobile. But, taking into account the fact that most modern sites have a mobile version and look completely different in it than on a desktop, this plus is very doubtful.

Result:

I don't recommend it. The service in spirit is quite consistent with that slob-robot who, with a stupid look, scattered all the copies on the main page of the site.

IMGonline service

Located at: www.imgonline.com.ua

Minuses:

Does not scan all images from a website page. Despite the fact that there is a “disable pictures” option in the settings, it simply does not work. Whether it is turned on or not, in the best case, there will be one or two pictures on the copy of the page, instead of the rest of the images there will be just a space.

Pros:

Takes a screenshot in PNG, JPG formats.
It is possible to manipulate (I wouldn't call it settings) the size of the future screenshot before scanning.

Result:

I don't recommend it.

Screenpage service

Located at: http://screenpage.ru/

Minuses:

Takes a screenshot only in PNG format.
Requests your email.
Does not scan all images from a website page. In the best case, there will be one or two pictures on the copy of the page, instead of the rest of the images there will be just a space. This error is systematic.

Pros:

Result:

I don't recommend it.

Conclusion

As I promised at the very beginning, I provided you with very good, working solutions: the program FastStone Capture program PicPick, Services S-shot And Snapito. I hope that I helped you understand the issue and choose a tool to your liking.

Of course, within the scope of this article it is impossible to physically talk about all the methods and tools that allow you to take screenshots. I tried to talk about those that are easy and convenient to use, and those that are not very suitable to be considered a good tool. For what? First of all, so that you do not waste time searching. Perhaps it would have been worth including the Screenpresso program in the review. But... The fact is that the program has a free version and a paid one. It wouldn't be so bad if these were two different programs. In fact, all this is one program, only part of the functionality in it is available exclusively for money. You start clicking on the buttons, everything you need seems to work, and at the very end, instead of the saved result, you receive information that this particular action is only possible in the paid version. Perhaps the program is not bad, but I didn’t like the approach to the user. So I didn't test it. Here is the link to the site if anyone is interested: https://www.screenpresso.com/

What screenshotters do you use? Why are they interesting, what features do they have?

Increasingly, when working at a computer, and on the Internet in particular, we need to take screenshots of pages.

Most likely, you already needed to do this in some game, or send some kind of report in the form of a screenshot to confirm your words.

Well, or it happens that the interlocutor does not quite understand what they want from him and need to literally use his fingers, or rather, on a skin, to highlight some element on the page and indicate an action.

It is for these purposes that this article is to solve your problem that does not give you peace and help.

If you can’t take a screenshot using the Print Screen key

Let's first look at how to take a screenshot of a page with the Print Screen key, namely, without any additional programs.

Stage 1: place the screen in the buffer

To do this, if you have a large keyboard (with a numeric keypad), then simply press the PrtScr key.
In this case, a screenshot of the entire screen will be taken and placed in the .

If you want to “take a picture” of only the active window (if several windows are open in Windows), then you need to press the key combination Alt+PrtScr. That is, hold down Alt and, as it were, add PrtScr so that everything works.

If the key combination Alt+PrtScr does not work for you, then find the Fn key (next to Alt) and combine Fn+PrtScr.
This often happens on a laptop, where the keyboard is small and does not have a number pad on the right.

You can be on any website at this time, or simply in Word or another program, or play a game and press a combination of these keys to take a screenshot.

At the same time, we would like to note that you will not see any information that the keys worked. In order to understand that the screen has been made, you need to go to step 2.

The screenshot will be pasted into the program from the clipboard. Now you just need to select “Save” in the top menu, or press the key combination “Ctrl+S” and select a location on your computer to save in any of the available formats: jpg, png, gif.

If you wish, you can stretch or shrink it.

Taking a screenshot of a page in Windows 7 using scissors

If you have the Windows 7 operating system, then you can do without the keys described in the previous section and without all kinds of inserts.

You just need to launch a standard and very convenient program called “Snipping Tool”.

You can find it in the Start menu. If you don’t see it there, then use the search, just like we searched for Paint.

Immediately when the program starts, the cursor will change to a cross. By holding down the right mouse button, you can select the desired area of the screen, release the button and a screenshot will be automatically taken.

This mode is called "Rectangle". It's the default. But you can select other options from the drop-down menu: “free form”, “window”, “full screen”.

After the screenshot is taken, save it to your computer using the “Ctrl+S” key combination.

The word screenshot comes from the English skreenshot - a snapshot of a page or computer monitor screen, or video fragments.
With that what is a screenshot, it seems we’ve figured it out, but what is it needed for? Well, everything is simple here too.

For example, on this blog, screenshots are constantly used to make it easier to explain certain nuances in the article and it is much easier for the reader to absorb information where everything is clearly shown in the picture.

They are also actively used on forums and when contacting any support service to clearly show the essence of the problem.

Gamers also use screenshots to show interesting or problematic moments in computer games.

Screenshots from videos are mainly used to assess the quality of the video itself, but this is a separate topic.

How to take a screenshot in Windows or the Print Screen button

Let's look at the simplest (standard) method, how to take a screenshot of a page using Windows, using the “Print Screen” button on your computer’s keyboard (it may also be called “PrtScn” or “PrintSc”)

This is what it looks like on the on-screen keyboard:

On a regular keyboard it is usually located at the top, closer to the right corner. When you click it, a snapshot of the page will be copied to the windows clipboard i.e. If you need to take a screenshot of the screen, just press this key, everything is simple.

While working with a browser, we visit a large number of Internet resources; information on some may be useful to us. If you want to save a page for offline viewing, the simplest thing you can do is take a screenshot of the page. We will talk in more detail about ways to create screenshots on the Internet.
Screenshot – a screenshot. Often such a procedure is performed to record the result, visually explain to other computer users how a particular task is performed, and also to quickly save information of interest. If you need to take a screenshot of a page on the Internet, then below we will discuss several methods that will allow you to accomplish this task.

How to take a screenshot of a page on the Internet?

Method 1: Using PrintScreen + Paint

A way to take a screenshot of any action happening on your computer screen. To use this method, you will need to open the area of the web page on the screen that you want to freeze, and then press the key PrintScreen , which is usually located in the upper right area of your computer (laptop) keyboard.

Pressing this key means that the image taken from the computer screen has been placed on the clipboard, which means you just have to pull it out from there. To do this, run a standard program on your computer Paint (you can find it through Windows search) and then immediately press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V , which will allow you to paste your screenshot from the clipboard. Next, the image can be either immediately saved to a computer or cropped to the desired size.

Method 2: Instantly saving screenshots

This method is convenient because it allows you to create a screenshot in a second, which will be automatically saved to the standard “Pictures” folder. To use this method, you just need to press the keyboard shortcut on your computer Win+PrintScreen , after which the monitor screen will “blink”, which means that the screenshot is already in the specified folder.

It is worth noting that this method works in Windows operating systems starting from version eight.

Method 3: Snipping Tool

Another standard way to create a screenshot, allowing you to capture only the necessary information from the computer screen.

Find a tool "Scissors" you can through Windows search. When this program is displayed on the screen, you will need to click on the button "Create" , after which you will need to select the area on the screen that you want to capture in the screenshot.

Once the screenshot has been created, a simple editor will appear on the screen where you can make minor adjustments to your screenshot before you can finish saving it.

Method 4: Using Ashampoo Snap

Today on the Internet you can find a lot of useful screenshot programs that have in their arsenal a lot of opportunities for detailed customization of screen capture, as well as a wide range of tools for subsequent editing of the created screenshot.

Why this particular program? It has a function for capturing screenshots from web pages on the Internet. But it is worth noting that the program is not free, but given its capabilities this will not be a serious disadvantage.

After installing the Ashampoo Snap program on your computer, a small blue bar will appear in the upper right corner of your computer screen, hovering your mouse over it will display a small program menu, which provides two functions for capturing a screenshot:

Capture a scrolling window (Free area, Firefox). The essence of this function is that you select the required part (taking into account only the borders) of the web page, and then click on the resulting rectangle. Taking into account the established rectangle, the program will automatically scroll down the page. The advantage of this method is that it will allow you to exclude unnecessary areas of the web page from capturing, the disadvantage is that only Firefox is supported among browsers.
Capture a website from Internet Explorer/Chrome. Using this web page capture method, you only need to click on the current web page, after which the program will automatically scroll down until it reaches the end of the page. The peculiarity of this method is that unnecessary parts of the web page can be cut off during the editing process, but in addition, capture can be performed not only in relation to the listed browsers, but also to other scrolling programs on your computer.

Method 5: Save page as PDF

This method cannot be classified as taking screenshots, but given that our article discusses ways to create snapshots of the current web page, it is worth talking about.

Every browser you use on your computer allows you to save an open web page to a PDF file, which is usually necessary for printing. If you need to save the entire web page without installing additional programs, then you should pay attention to this method.

Let's consider using this method using the Google Chrome browser as an example. To do this, go to the page in your web browser that will later be saved, and then click on the browser menu button and go to "Seal" .

The print settings menu will be displayed on the screen, in the left area of which near the item "A printer" you will need to click on the button "Change" .

A list of available printers will appear on the screen, from which you will need to select "Microsoft Print to PDF" .

Click the button "Seal" . Immediately after this, Windows Explorer will appear on the screen, in which you only need to specify the destination folder and, if necessary, change the file name. By analogy, a similar procedure can be performed in other browsers.

And finally. Of course, these are not all the ways to take screenshots of web pages. If you have much more convenient solutions in mind for performing this task, share them in the comments.
