Method 1: Using Fixefox Addons
Mozillar Firefox is a wonderful web browser which has various addons to increase it functionality. Two of these addons are ScreenGrab and Abduction.
ScreenGrab
ScreenGrab is a Firefox addon that
allows you to take screenshot of an entire webpage. To me, this is the
simplest method I use in capturing full website screenshots (well, maybe
because I use Firefox). Firstly, you need to install this addon to Firefox.
Once installed, you can then begin using it to take full screenshot of
any website you want. To do this, go to the website you want to take the
screenshot from, right-click with your mouse anywhere on the page, and
this is what will show up:
As you can see in the image above, there are different options available
to you. You can take screenshot of the complete page, the visible part,
a selected area or the whole window. This means if you want to take a
full screenshot of a website, just select the ‘Complete Page/Frame’ and
it will be saved as an image to your computer. In case you missed the download link, click here to download ScreenGrab.
Abduction
Another effective addon you can use to grab full screens is ‘Abduction! –
Webpage Screenshots Screen Capture’ Addon. Just like ScreenGrab, you
can also capture an entire webpage or just a selected portion. To use
this addon, right click on any web page, frame or iframe, click “Save
Page As Image…” and then resize the selection around the piece you want
to save. That is all. Click here to download Abduction Addon
Method 2: Using Google Chrome Extensions
Google Chrome is also a wonderful web browser, just like Firefox. Although I hardly use Chrome (I’m addicted to Firefox
anyways), there are various Chrome Extensions that served different
functions. Among these extensions is Screen Capture by Google. With
Screen Capture extension, you can take the whole entire screenshot of a
particular website.
So to get this extension, just go to the Chrome Web Store
and search for ‘screen capture’ using the search box provided. Then
select the ‘Screen Capture (by Google)’ extension and install it.
After installation, the extension will
be placed on the Chrome Toolbar where it will be easy to access whenever
you want capture a full webpage.
To capture a full webpage with Screen
Capture by Google extension, go to any website, click on the Screen
Capture button on the Toolbar and select Capture Whole Page. You can also use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + H.
Method 3: Using Desktop Application
Unfortunately, not everyone is using either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome
browsers. If you are among these group of people and you still want to
grab a full screenshot of a webpage, there are couple of desktop
programs that offer this function. I will be discussing 2 of such
application here and they are WebShot and Paparazzi.
WebShot
WebShot, a desktop application for Windows
users, allows you to take screenshots of web pages and save them as
full sized images or thumbnails. Screenshots images can be output in the
JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP formats. Click here
to download WebShot application from www.websitesscreenshots.com, it is
just 1.1MB in size. After downloading, double-click on it to install.
To use WebShot, open it by double-clicking on it, enter the URL of the
website you want to take its screenshot, and the software will take it
for you.
Paparazzi
Paparazzi is another desktop application that can help you take full
screenshots of webpages but this is for Mac users. This software can
save the screenshot of an entire webpage in different file formats,
including PDF. If you are using Mac, click here to download Paparazzi.
