How-To: Take full page screenshots in OSX

I remember trying to take a seamless screenshot of a website on OSX. I used the built-in screen capture utility, captured the maximum area possible on a 1024 x 768 screen, scrolled, and repeated the whole process. Then, I fired up Photoshop to stitch all the images together to create one seamless image.

That was the old way, Paparazzi is the new. The application has been around for awhile. It’s never too late to add another handy screen capture utility to your application folder.

The process couldn’t be any easier. Start Paparazzi, enter the URL you want to capture in the “URL to Grab” field. Set the height and width parameters (1024 x 768 is decent), and click “Capture”. If you’re happy with the preview, click “Save as PNG”.

    Browsershots does the same thing too, for free. You have to wait a little for your request to get through the queue though.

  2. Nice find. Browsershots would be a valuable tool for web designers. I’m not going to wait but does this output full screen captures from top to bottom?

    It looks like it does. Take a look at the screenshots it takes: http://browsershots.org/recent/
