How to take a full page screenshot in Mac OS Safari? [duplicate]

Question

I'm looking for a Safari Extension that can take full page screenshots. I am aware there are various extensions, but haven't found any that would take full page images.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Maybe Don't give http://awesomescreenshot.com/ a try, see disclaimer below. There are better options available, see other answers to this question. Awesome Screenshot is a browser plugin that can capture

  • the full site
  • the visible part or
  • a selection of the site.

It also allows for basic annotation of the screenshot as well as downloading it or saving it on the web for access by URL. Available as extension to Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

DISCLAIMER: there are strong indications that Awesome Screenshot sends information about your browser history to third party servers. I would not recommend this after all. It also has a history of integrating adware in it's extension and then apologizing for it afterwards.

OTHER TIPS

No plugins or anything needed - latest Safari (7, not sure from which version this works) can save to PDF. File -> Export as PDF... and you get entire page, images and all. And it's a lovely hi-res PDF.

Paparazzi! is great for full page screenshots. It is not a Safari Extension, yet it has a very nice feature that enables you to launch it from Safari.

Type paparazzi: in the address bar before the URL, it will launch the application with specified URL. Here is the list of URL format that Paparazzi! uses: http://derailer.org/paparazzi/urlformat

I am not aware of any Safari Extensions which can do this, but Skitch can also do this.

Safari can do this out of the box: the key is that you need to adjust the page size when printing to PDF.

  1. Load the website
  2. File -> Print...
  3. Under the "Paper Size" pop-up, select "Manage Custom Sizes"
  4. Create a new paper size that fits the entire webpage (eg, 8.5in x 30in).
  5. Use the PDF pop-up to "Save as PDF..."

The downside to this approach is that if the site has different screen and print styles, you can only get a PDF of the print style.

Evernote Web Clipper, a Safari extension, clips Full Screen or Selection. To a web notebook, yes, but that syncs to Evernote on your computer just about instantly, manually, or set a timed sync.

In Safari, click Save As... on the File menu; then, click Save to create a PDF of the web page on the Desktop. Open the PDF in Preview. Click Export As... on the File menu. Choose an image format, and then click Save.

By the way, on Mac OS X 10.11.x, you can set a system preference to hide the menu bar, just like the dock.

CHROME> try extension called full screen capture. I found it to be quick and captures very long htmls pages as pngs. Hope this helps someone.

Try Jing. It is not a Safari extension, but it is always available if you choose for it to be. It will amaze -- and it's free.

  1. Open that website
  2. Go to File → Save as from the menu bar
  3. Save it on your desktop

You will then have your webpage screenshot on your desktop

To get a png of an open window—including Safari webpage:

Shift+Cmd+4

...which makes a crosshair appear...then... press Space ...turning the crosshair into a camera icon. Use this to click on the window/webpage you want to screenshot. It includes the drop shadow with transparency.
