whole-window screenshot application for Mac OS X
November 1, 2013 2:04 PM   Subscribe

Hi, I am looking for a whole-window screenshot application for Mac OS X. I have and use Paparazzi, but need to take SS images of login-state dependent webpages, which Paparazzi can't do. I would prefer an app that works as SnapzPro used to, where the SS includes all the content below the fold of a webpage and the screenshot-taking app does not need or gain independent login access to the target page. Thanks in advance!

Does Grab not do this?

Or just the usual Command-Shift shortcut?

Grab will take screenshots of a whole window -- is there some requirement we're missing?

1) cmd+shift+4
2) press spacebar
3) hover over the window you want to screenshot
4) click mouse
5) look for screenshot file on desktop

Paparazzi is for taking screenshots of the entire contents of a web page, all in one very tall image that's much taller than just the visible window. Grab and command-shift-4 don't do this.

Ah, I didn't understand the request. Try this Chrome Extension.

This is just in the browser, correct? I use the Awesome Screenshot Chrome and Firefox extensions to grab full-page screenshots.

Can you try printing the web page? You can export PDF from the print dialog with a custom page size, to enclose the whole page. Then convert the PDF to desired format with Photoshop or ImageMagick, etc.

Evernote's plugin does this.

Response by poster: Paparazzi also produces PDFs by default, blergh.

Assignment complete. No tool fit the bill, again. I hate feature deflation.

Unless I'm missing something in the question, this is what I use Snagit:Mac for. It has a function to scroll the entire web page and capture that as a screenshot. I use this on a daily basis.

I use a Firefox extension called Pearl Crescent Page Saver, which can take a screenshot of the entire length of the web page, and you can choose whether to save as a PNG or JPG. The free version is also available at Mozilla's Add-Ons site.

Little Snapper does this.

The Awesome Screenshot browser extension will do this (cross-browser)
