How to Take a Screenshot of an Entire Webpage in Safari on a Mac

OWC Mark C

Taking screenshots of a webpage is a normal operation for many. Perhaps it’s to capture an image for a meme, graphs for a presentation, or to send that annoying error message to a disbelieving customer service rep. Whatever the reason, some of the standard Mac screenshot options may not do the trick.

Most of us are familiar with Shift-Command-3 to capture the entire screen, or Shift-Command-4 to capture a selected portion of a screen. You may even be familiar with Shift-Command-5 to capture a single window. But what if you want to take a scrolling screen capture of an entire webpage? The aforementioned tools can’t do that – they can only capture visible areas of your screen. So, is it even possible to take a screenshot that includes a portion of a webpage you would normally need to scroll to see?

Yes, there is! But it does take a few extra steps than just executing a single keystroke combination.

Screenshot a Webpage

  • Open Safari and go to “ Safari > Preferences… “
  • Click the Advanced tab and toggle on “ Show Develop menu in menu bar .”

  • Navigate to the webpage you want to capture and from the Develop menu, choose “ Show Web Inspector .” Alternatively, you can hit alt-command-I (⌥⌘I).

  • Select the Elements tab and right-click on the line that begins with “<html…”
  • Choose Capture Screenshot

  • Give it a moment to do it’s magic, and then select a name and location to save the file.

All done! Well, almost…

This could just be an issue I run into, but when capturing entire pages in this manner, there is a lot of empty container buffer around the image in the PNG file. You can see this in the Quick Preview of the file:

Let’s fix that.

  • Open the file in Preview . If Preview is already your default application to open PNG files, you can simply double-click its icon.

  • Drag the crosshairs in the empty area around the image. You’ll see the empty space selected and highlighted in red. Drag too far, and you’ll pick up the image itself. Don’t do that, we only want to select the empty area.

  • When you let go of the mouse button, the highlighted color will disappear and be replaced with a dotted line indicating the selected area.

  • Hit Shift-Command-I (⇧⌘I) to invert the selection.

  • Hit Control-K (⌘K) to crop the image to the selection.
  • Now you can hit Save (⌘S) and you truly are done. One cleaned up screenshot of an entire webpage.

OH man, Thank you so much for this post. it really helped me and saved a lot of my time.

Thanks for the helpful screen capture. I cannot get the clean up to work. The Shift+Command+I doesn’t work and I cannot get the Control+K to work. Can select the red area but that’s it.

Hoping you can help.

You show us how to capture OTHER web pages but NOT your own? That’s not cool dudes! If its not NOT for you, its not OK for anyone, right?

on Catalina, the part involving Preview to crop the image was a bit different, but I figured it out. Click on the show Markup Toolbar icon, then click on Rectangular Selection, then draw a box around the bit of interest, then click on “crop” in the toolbar. Repeat if needed. Zoom as needed.

Thanks for the insight!

Tried it on the article and when I try to pen saved .png I get message that either file is corrupted or can’t open the file format.

I ran into this also, then I quickly realized the file does not have the .png extension. Recaptured the screen and ensured when renaming the file, I added .png. Opened as a webpage though not as a preview. Still to figure out how to set preview as the default file opener for png files.

I’ve often wanted to do this. However, on this very page, while the initial steps seem to work, the resulting .png is un-openable by Preview or Pixelmator Pro or Quicklook. (“It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.”)

File->Print->Save as PDF, and File->Export as PDF work as expected in Safari (full HTML-rendered page) with the added features of selectable text and extractable images in the PDFs (for those memes y’all). ~Tim~ macOS Big Sur, 11.4 Safari 14.1.1

Awesome tip! These are the articles that make it worthwhile to keep visiting Rocket Yard of OWC. Thanks. BTW an application to do it is Paparazzi! (but it does not work in all cases) https://derailer.org/paparazzi

I just tried that same Apple webpage with Safari 14.1.1 in OS 11.4. Went to File > Export as PDF… and bingo! Got a nice high-res 8.2MB PDF on my desktop instantly. Image is clean, no unexpected margins.

That works! Thank you!

Huh. I just tried that in Mojave with the latest Safari (14.1.2), using this webpage for the test.

I end up with a 20.6mb file ending in .PNG format, but which will not open. It’s either “damaged” or in a format that Preview can’t open.

In most other applications, this function would be easily performed using the Print button, and then Save as PDF. It is truly unfortunate that web developers have blocked the normal Print functionality on the web.

In iOS, Apple's Safari browser includes a built-in screenshot feature that lets you capture entire webpages on your iPhone or iPad for sharing elsewhere.

Note that in step 4, you can drag or click on the page to select a region and then save just that region by clicking Download , or you can save just the visible area of the page by clicking Save visible in the top-right corner.

Tip: You can also customize the Firefox toolbar to add a Screenshot button. Click the Menu button (three lines) in the top-right corner of the browser window. A special tab will open, where you can drag and drop items in or out of the overflow menu and the toolbar. Simply drag the Screenshot item (the cutting scissors icon) to the toolbar, then click Done .

Introduction

Taking a screenshot is a handy skill that allows you to capture and save a snapshot of what's displayed on your screen. Whether you want to preserve a memorable moment, share information with others, or keep a record of important details, knowing how to take a screenshot on Safari can be incredibly useful. Safari, the default web browser for Apple devices, offers several methods for capturing screenshots, each with its own unique advantages. In this article, we'll explore three simple and effective ways to take a screenshot on Safari, empowering you to effortlessly capture and save images of web pages, online articles, or any other content you encounter while browsing the internet.

By mastering these screenshot techniques, you'll be equipped to capture and share visual information with ease. Whether you're a student needing to save excerpts from online research, a professional seeking to document web content for presentations, or simply someone who wants to preserve memorable online moments, the ability to take screenshots on Safari will prove to be a valuable skill. So, let's dive into the methods and learn how to capture and save screenshots using Safari on your Apple device.

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Capturing a screenshot on Safari using keyboard shortcuts is a quick and convenient method that allows you to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a selected portion with ease. These keyboard shortcuts are intuitive and can be executed seamlessly, making them a popular choice for many users.

Full Screen Screenshot

To capture the entire screen, simply press the Command + Shift + 3 keys simultaneously. Upon doing so, Safari will instantly capture a screenshot of the entire screen, including the browser window and any open tabs or applications in the background. The captured image will be automatically saved to your desktop, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

Screenshot of a Specific Window

If you wish to capture a screenshot of a specific Safari window, such as a single browser tab, you can do so by pressing Command + Shift + 4 followed by the Spacebar . This combination will transform your cursor into a camera icon, allowing you to click on the desired Safari window to capture a screenshot of it exclusively. Once captured, the image will be saved to your desktop, providing you with a focused snapshot of the selected Safari window.

Custom Selection Screenshot

For scenarios where you only need to capture a specific portion of the Safari window, the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + 4 enables you to create a custom selection screenshot. Upon pressing this combination, your cursor will transform into a crosshair, empowering you to select the exact area of the Safari window that you want to capture. Once the selection is made, releasing the mouse or trackpad will trigger the screenshot to be saved to your desktop, offering you a tailored image of the chosen portion.

By leveraging these keyboard shortcuts, you can efficiently capture screenshots while browsing on Safari, empowering you to preserve and share valuable visual information effortlessly. Whether you need to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection, the keyboard shortcuts in Safari provide a seamless and efficient way to capture and save screenshots, enhancing your browsing experience and productivity.

Method 2: Using the Screenshot Toolbar

Another convenient method for capturing screenshots on Safari is by utilizing the built-in Screenshot Toolbar. This feature, introduced in macOS Mojave and later versions, offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of taking screenshots while browsing. The Screenshot Toolbar provides various options for capturing specific portions of the screen, adding annotations, and even recording video clips, making it a versatile tool for visual documentation.

To access the Screenshot Toolbar while using Safari, simply follow these steps:

Open Safari : Launch the Safari browser and navigate to the web page or content you wish to capture.

Activate the Screenshot Toolbar : Once on the desired page, press the Shift + Command + 5 keys simultaneously. This keyboard shortcut triggers the Screenshot Toolbar to appear at the bottom of the screen, presenting a range of screenshot and recording options.

Select Screenshot Type : Within the Screenshot Toolbar, you can choose from various screenshot options, including capturing the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection. By selecting the appropriate screenshot mode, you can tailor the capture to suit your specific needs.

Customize Screenshot Settings : The Screenshot Toolbar also allows you to customize additional settings, such as setting a timer for delayed captures, choosing the save location for screenshots, and enabling options for showing the mouse pointer in the screenshot.

Capture and Save : Once the desired settings are configured, simply click on the "Capture" button within the Screenshot Toolbar to initiate the screenshot. The captured image will be saved to the designated location, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

The Screenshot Toolbar not only streamlines the process of capturing screenshots on Safari but also offers additional features for annotating and editing the captured images. After taking a screenshot, the Screenshot Toolbar provides options for adding text, shapes, and other annotations to the image, empowering you to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content.

Furthermore, the Screenshot Toolbar enables users to record video clips of their screen, making it a comprehensive tool for visual documentation and communication. Whether you need to capture a static image of a web page or record a dynamic demonstration within Safari, the Screenshot Toolbar equips you with the necessary features to accomplish these tasks seamlessly.

By leveraging the Screenshot Toolbar in Safari, users can enhance their screenshot capabilities, benefiting from a user-friendly interface and versatile options for capturing, annotating, and recording visual content while browsing the web. This method provides a modern and intuitive approach to taking screenshots on Safari, catering to a diverse range of visual documentation needs.

Method 3: Using the Preview App

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts and the Screenshot Toolbar, Safari users can also utilize the Preview app, a versatile and feature-rich tool that offers advanced capabilities for capturing and editing screenshots. The Preview app, which comes pre-installed on macOS devices, serves as a powerful image viewing and editing application, and it includes seamless integration with Safari for capturing and annotating screenshots.

To utilize the Preview app for capturing screenshots while browsing on Safari, follow these simple steps:

Access the Preview App : Once on the desired page, navigate to the Applications folder or use Spotlight Search to locate and open the Preview app.

Capture the Screenshot : Within the Preview app, click on the "File" menu and select "Take Screenshot." This action will present options for capturing the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection.

Customize Screenshot Settings : After selecting the desired screenshot mode, the Preview app allows users to customize additional settings, such as setting a timer for delayed captures, choosing the save location for screenshots, and enabling options for showing the mouse pointer in the screenshot.

Annotate and Edit : Once the screenshot is captured, the Preview app provides a comprehensive set of tools for annotating and editing the image. Users can add text, shapes, arrows, and other annotations to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content. Additionally, the app offers features for cropping, resizing, and adjusting the image, empowering users to refine the screenshot according to their preferences.

Save and Share : After annotating and editing the screenshot, users can save the image in their preferred format and share it with others as needed. The Preview app supports various image file formats, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in sharing the captured screenshots.

By leveraging the Preview app, Safari users can elevate their screenshot capabilities, benefiting from advanced annotation and editing features that enhance the visual documentation process. Whether you need to capture, annotate, or edit screenshots of web pages, online articles, or any other content within Safari, the Preview app provides a comprehensive solution for these tasks, empowering users to capture and customize visual content with precision and efficiency.

Incorporating the Preview app into your screenshot workflow expands your capabilities, allowing you to capture and refine screenshots seamlessly while browsing on Safari. This method offers a robust and versatile approach to capturing and editing screenshots, catering to a diverse range of visual documentation and communication needs.

With these methods at their disposal, users can confidently navigate the digital landscape, equipped with the tools to capture, annotate, and share visual content effortlessly.

How to capture full page screenshots in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on Mac

In this tutorial, we will show you how to take a screenshot of a full web page in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on your Mac using built-in and third-party methods.

Full web page screenshot on Mac

Important: Most websites use the lazy-loading feature, which loads the image only after you scroll to that point on the page. So, before following the steps below, load the web page completely and scroll to its bottom to ensure all images are also visible. After that, take a full-page screenshot (also known as a scrolling screenshot ).

Screenshot an entire web page using built-in browser tools

To accomplish this in Safari, you’ll need to display the Develop tab in the menu bar. If you already have it, you’re a step ahead. If you don’t, follow these steps first.

  • Open Safari and click Safari > Settings or Preferences from the menu bar.
  • Go to the Advanced tab.
  • Check the box for Show features for web developers or Show Develop menu in menu bar .

Safari Preferences Advanced Develop Menu

Now, head to the web page you want to capture and follow these steps.

1) Click Develop > Show Web Inspector from the menu bar. The Inspector will open with the webpage on either the right or the bottom, depending on the default position. This displays the HTML code for the page.

2) Go to the top of the code in the Elements tab and right-click the first line beginning with “html.”

3) Select Capture Screenshot from the shortcut menu. It can take several seconds before you see the screen in the next step, so be patient.

How To Take Full Page Screenshots In Safari For Mac

Safari comes as the default browser on Mac computers. It is a perfectly capable browser and if you prefer using native software instead of downloading third-party browsers, we get it. However, unlike Edge, there is no straightforward built-in tool for capturing full page screenshots in Safari.

We’re not sure if Apple ever plans to introduce the feature in an easier manner, but don’t worry, if capturing full page screenshots is something you’re interested in, there are ways around this problem which we will cover in the guide below, so read on to find out.

Saving Websites As PDFs

What’s interesting about this method is that if you try to take a scrolling screenshot on an iPhone , it actually saves as a PDF, so this method is pretty similar.

  • Open Safari
  • Go to the website you want to capture
  • Click on Show Reader View
  • From the menu, select File > Export as PDF
  • Choose the location and name and click Save

Note that because you’re saving it as a PDF file, it is actually not an image file. The upside to this method is that if you have a PDF editor, you can actually make some edits to the file like adding notes. The downside is that it is equally easy for someone else to make the same edits if they have the file, versus images which might be slightly trickier to manipulate seamlessly.

Using Safari’s Developer Tools

Similar to how Google approaches full page screenshots with Chrome, it appears that Apple has also hidden its full page screenshot tool for Safari behind its developer tools.

  • Click on Develop > Show Web Inspector
  • In the newly opened window, right click the very first line that reads “html”
  • Select Capture Screenshot
  • Save the file

The upside to this method is that if you don’t need to capture the entire page, you can just highlight portions of the code that you want to capture, but that’s assuming you know what you’re looking at. Also, Apple already built-in screen capture tools into macOS that will work in Safari (except it doesn’t do full page captures), so that would be an easier method than this.

Using Awesome Screenshot Extension For Safari

If neither of the options above sound appealing to you, then you might be interested to learn that you can use a browser extension for Safari called Awesome Screenshot that makes the entire process a lot simpler.

  • Download and install the Awesome Screenshot extension
  • Once the extension is installed, go to the website you want to capture
  • Click the extension’s icon and select Capture entire page
  • You can now make edits to the screenshot if you want
  • When you’re ready to save it, click the download icon and it’ll save it to your computer

Using TechSmith’s Snagit Desktop Tool

If you don’t mind paying for software, then perhaps TechSmith’s Snagit could be the end-all to all your screenshot needs. This is because Snagit won’t just work with Safari, but it will work across your Mac so in addition to capturing websites, you can use the Snagit tool to capture other screenshots like from applications, games, and so on.

  • Download and install Snagit
  • Launch Snagit and click the “All-In-One” tab to the left
  • Click the Capture button
  • Select the area of the website you want to capture and click the “Launch a Panoramic Capture” button
  • Click start and start scrolling down the website and click Stop when you’re done

Keep in mind that Snagit is not free. There is a free trial that you can check out to see if this is what you want, but once the trial is up, you’ll have to pay $50 for a single-user license. It is expensive, but if you think you can get your money’s worth, why not?

macOS has a built-in tool for taking screenshots, but it can only capture what's actually visible on the screen at any time. What if you need to take a screenshot of an entire web page or lengthy document? Here are the best ways to take scrolling screenshots on a Mac.

Safari has a hidden screen capture tool that you might not know about. It's a bit technical, but is accessible to everyone, and if you only need it for occasional use, this is the simplest option to try.

To access the feature, you first need to enable the Developer Settings in Safari. Go to Safari > Settings > Advanced and click "Show Features for Web Developers".

Exit the settings, and you should see that a "Develop" option has appeared in the Safari menu bar. Now load up the web page you want to screenshot and go to Develop > Show Web Inspector. A panel will open at the bottom of the screen. It looks pretty complicated if you aren't used to it, but don't be put off—you don't need to know what any of it means.

To take your screenshot, make sure the Elements tab is selected at the top of the panel. In the code in the left-hand pane, scroll to the top and right-click on the line that begins "html"—it'll normally be the second line. From the dialog box that opens, click "Capture Screenshot."

You'll now be prompted to choose where to save your image. Click "Save" and you're done.

If you take screenshots of websites regularly, then you'll be better off using an app to handle it. For Safari, you can install an extension to capture scrolling screenshots. The one we like is FireShot, which is free and is also available as an extension for Chrome and other third-party browsers.

Head to FireShot on the Mac App Store and download it by clicking "Get" followed by "Install."

Now open Safari and go to Safari > Settings > Extensions and locate FireShot in the Installed pane. Check the box alongside the name to activate the extension. In the right-hand pane, you can click "Always Allow on Every Website" if you plan to use it a lot. For security reasons, it's better not to do this. You can simply grant permission for the extension to work as and when you need it instead.

Now load up the page you want to screenshot in Safari. You'll see that a FireShot icon has been added to the toolbar alongside the address bar. It'll be grayed out at first, so click the icon and select "Allow for One Day" to give it permission to run.

Click the icon again, followed by "Capture Entire Page." The screenshot will open in a new tab, and you can choose to save it as an image (in the PNG format) or PDF, email it, copy it to your clipboard, or print it.

The other good option for taking full-page screenshots of websites is by using an online tool. This is less convenient in some cases, but it comes with the benefit of being able to share your screenshots between your Mac and another device more easily.

There are many web services that can capture full-screen screenshots of websites. FullPageScreenCapture.com is as good as any. It's free to use and fast, and it assigns a unique URL to every screenshot it saves, so you can access it through any browser on any device.

Simply head to fullpagescreencapture.com and type or paste the URL of the web page you want to save into the box, then click "Capture Now."

It takes a few seconds to process. Once it's done, you'll see the image displayed on the site. Click it to open the image in a new browser tab, then right-click on the image and select either "Save to Desktop" or "Save As."

You can also click in the address bar in Safari and hit Command+C to copy the unique URL for the image and share it with other devices.

Finally, if you need to take a full-page or scrolling screenshot from within any app, not just of a website, you can do this with the third-party app Shottr. You can use it to capture screenshots of PDF files, spreadsheets, documents, large photos, or anything else.

You can use the app for free for as long as you like. After 30 days, it will occasionally ask you if you want to pay for it. You're not obligated to do so, but it only costs $8 and is great value if you use it a lot.

The app isn't available through the Mac App Store. Instead, download it from the official Shottr website and install it to get started .

Launch Shottr, and its icon will appear in your menu bar at the top of the screen where it's always easily accessible. Open the app and content you want to screenshot, then click the Shottr icon and select "Scrolling Capture."

Your mouse pointer will turn into a crosshair. Click in the top-left corner of the area you want to screenshot, then drag to the bottom-right. When you let go of the mouse button, the screen will begin to scroll up. Everything within the width of the rectangle you drew will be captured, right down to the bottom of the page.

Your screenshot will open in a preview window. You can annotate or crop it, or click the Save icon to save it. If you close the preview accidentally, click the Shottr icon and select "Reopen Shottr."

It's easy to take scrolling screenshots on a Mac. Whether you just need a quick tool or a more professional solution, choose the method that's best for you, and you can grab full-page screenshots in any app.

This method is easy and useful if you need to take a scrolling screenshot of a web page in Chrome. However, it requires you to install a third-party extension, Full Page Screen Capture , which may be better for some users. If you don’t have any issues with it, Here are the steps:

  • Open Google Chrome on your Mac and go to the Chrome Web Store.
  • Search fo r Full Page Screen Capture and click Add to Chrome to install the extension.

Full Page Screen Capture

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions to add to your knowledge.

How do you take scrolling screenshots on an iPhone?

To take a scrolling screenshot on your iPhone, it needs to have iOS 13 or above. Take a screenshot (press the side and volume up buttons together), tap on the thumbnail in the bottom-left corner, and choose Full Page. You can scroll through it using the bar on the right side and do some quick editing. Note that this file is saved in PDF format rather than PNG. Note : this scrolling screenshot feature only works on native Apple apps.

Can you copy text from a scrolling screenshot?

If you’re using macOS Monterey , you can access Live Text in Preview and Safari . It means you can copy and use the text in an image. Just position the pointer over the text you want to copy and then drag it to select it. There are also OCR (Optical Character Recognition) apps like Prizmo and TextSniper , which you can check out.

How to take full webpage screenshots with Firefox and Chrome on macOS?

You can still take full-webpage screenshots if you don’t use Safari as your primary browser. Firefox has an in-built feature to do it. For Chrome users, you can get the GoFullPage extension. It’s free and takes full webpage screenshots.

Taking a scrolling screenshot on your Mac is a real-time-saver, trust me. You can either stick with macOS’s built in screenshot tool or try some fancy third-party apps. Personally, I’m all about native solutions, but you do you! Find the best tool for you and start capturing epic scrolling screenshots.

8 Ways to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on Mac

Why Would You Need to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on Mac

Ways to capture scrolling screenshots on mac, conclusion on scrolling screenshot on mac.

Using a Mac is generally straightforward, but some features can be a bit hidden, especially for new users. Capturing what’s on your screen is one of those tasks that might seem tricky, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned Mac user. Taking a scrolling screenshot, in particular, can be a bit of a challenge.

When you hear about taking a scrolling screenshot on a Mac, it usually means capturing a “full-page” or “long” screenshot. This lets you capture an entire webpage, document, or any screen content that goes beyond what you can see at once. It’s a great way to share more information while keeping the original layout intact, without needing multiple screenshots to get the full picture.

There are plenty of tools available for taking scrolling screenshots, including Mac’s built-in screenshot tools, browser extensions, online tools, and third-party apps. Read on to find the best method for capturing scrolling screenshots on your Mac.

Instead of capturing multiple screenshots and piecing them together, you can capture everything in one shot. This can be beneficial in some scenarios especially when you need to share or save information comprehensively and contextually. Some of the scenarios where scrolling screenshots can come in handy:

a). Long Web Pages

One of the scenarios a scrolling screenshot on Mac would be beneficial is when you need to save or share an article or a detailed forum thread. Capturing a scrolling screenshot on a long web page is not only more convenient but will also keep your information intact and in context, making it look more professional and organized.

b). Social Media Feeds

When you need to capture a social media conversation for a presentation or report, a scrolling screenshot ensures you don’t miss any part of the dialogue. This is particularly important if you’re documenting customer complaints , online harassment, or cyberbullying, where capturing the entire conversation in one continuous image provides clear and comprehensive evidence.

c). Work Documentation

In professional settings, taking scrolling screenshots can be incredibly useful. For instance, if you’re tracking progress on project management tools like Trello or Asana , capturing a full scroll of the board can provide a comprehensive overview. Similarly, when reviewing long code snippets that extend beyond the visible screen, a continuous screenshot ensures no part is overlooked, making peer reviews more efficient and thorough.

There are several ways to capture scrolling screenshots on Mac and we have listed all the possible ways with their step-by-step guides. Let’s look at each method below.

1. Best Third-Party Tool- Zight

Zight screen capture

Taking screenshots of extra-long web pages can be tricky. Sure, you could stitch together multiple screenshots in an image editor like Adobe Photoshop, but that’s a hassle. For Mac users, there’s a better way: Zight .

Here’s how to take a scrolling screenshot on a Mac using Zight:

Step 1: Download and Install Zight

Start by downloading and installing the Zight application on your Mac. You can find it on the Mac App Store or through the Zight website.

Step2: Launch the Zight App

Once Zight is installed, launch the application by double-clicking its icon in the Applications folder or by searching for it in Spotlight.

Step 3: Enable Full-Screen Capture

In the Zight interface, ensure that the option for full-screen capture is enabled. This usually involves clicking on the “Full Screen” within the Zight interface.

Step 4: Set Preferences (Optional)

Optionally, you can customize the preferences in Zight according to your preferences. This might include selecting the file format for the screenshot, setting a destination folder for saved screenshots, or adjusting other capture settings.

Step 5: Navigate to the Content to Capture:

Open the webpage, document, or any other content that you want to capture in a scrolling screenshot.

Step 6 : Activate Zight Screenshot Capture

Once you’re ready to capture the scrolling screenshot, activate Zight. This may involve clicking on the Zight icon in the menu bar or using a keyboard shortcut, depending on your Zight settings. Once you click capture, it automatically captures the entire screen.

Step 7 : Saving the Chrome Full-Page Screenshot

After capturing a screenshot, it will automatically upload to Zight’s secure cloud and add a Zight link to your clipboard. This means you can now paste the link or the content into your chosen platform by simply dragging the link on your clipboard.

If necessary, review the captured screenshot and make any edits or annotations using Zight’s built-in editing tools. This may take a few moments, depending on the length of the content.

Step 8: Share your Screenshot

Share your full-page screenshot by clicking the “Share” button, copying the autogenerated link to send it to anyone, dragging and dropping screen recordings into emails and chat apps, or sharing your video directly to platforms like Trello , Asana , and Slack , or embedding it in an email .

Alternatively, you can take a scrolling screenshot by recording content using Zight’s screen recording option. Here’s how to do it:

  • Open Zight and Select GIF : Launch your Zight app and click on the GIF option. This feature lets you scroll through all the content on your screen and record it in a looping video that can be uploaded anywhere.
  • Set Up Recording : Choose Full Screen and Screen Only, then click Start Recording. After the three-second countdown, begin scrolling through your page to capture all the content.
  • Annotate as Needed : You can pause the recording at any time to add annotations. Zight offers various annotation tools, including a line, highlighter, ellipse, rectangle, and arrow.
  • Finish and Upload : Once you’re finished, click the finish button. Your GIF will automatically upload to the cloud. You can then share it as a video link, avoiding the hassle of downloading and re-uploading files and making communication quick and efficient.

Here’s why Zight should be your go-to tool for capturing full-page screenshots:

While Zight will be the best screen capture tool for a full page, it also offers some other features that make it the best screen capture and communication tool :

  • Screenshot : Capture specific areas, windows, or even delayed screenshots for perfect timing. Edit and annotate your screenshots directly within Zight.

  • Annotate your screenshots or screen recordings with text, arrows, lines, and blur

2. Using Preview

Take Screenshot - From Entire Page

Did you know your Mac’s built-in Preview app (it’s already there!) can capture entire web pages or documents in a single shot? Although this is not the most efficient method, it can work easily. Also, it’s not suitable for capturing long content and it’s more suitable for shorter scrolling captures.

Here’s the secret:

Step 1 : Open what you want to capture: Find the webpage or document you need a screenshot of.

Step 2: Take a regular screenshot (almost): Press the familiar shortcut Command + Shift + 4 . This normally lets you capture a specific area, but we’ll trick it a bit.

Step 3 : Hold on, don’t click yet! Instead of selecting an area, keep your finger hovering. You’ll see a small thumbnail appear in the corner.

Step 4 : Preview! Look closely at that corner thumbnail. You’ll see a tiny “Preview” option. Click that!

Step 5 : Preview takes over: Voila! Preview opens with your entire capture, ready for editing or saving.

Now you can grab those long web pages or documents without needing any extra software.

3. QuickTime Player

Your Mac’s built-in QuickTime Player isn’t just for watching videos anymore. It also doubles as a handy screenshot tool, and the best part? No extra downloads are required.

This hidden feature lets you capture entire web pages or documents, even the parts that scroll off the screen. Here’s how to use it:

Step 1 : Locate the page or document you want to screenshot.

Step 2 : Open QuickTime Player from your Applications folder or search for it in the Spotlight.

Step 4 : Select File , then choose New Screen Recording , and click Record Entire Screen.

Scrolling screenshot on a Mac

Step 5 : Click the drop-down arrow next to the record button and select None under the microphone option. Navigate to the page you want to capture and click on it.

Step 6 : Click on the red record button and select the area of the screen you want to capture. Scroll through the entire page or document to the bottom.

Step 6 : Once you have selected the area, click the Start Recording button to start screen recording.

Step 7 : Once you reach the end of the page, click on the stop button in the menu bar.

Step 8 : The recording will automatically be saved as a .mov file. To save it as an image file, open it in Preview and select File, followed by Export. Choose the desired image format and save it.

Forget downloading extra apps! Mac lets you capture screenshots on the fly using handy keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys). These built-in shortcuts let you grab your entire screen, a specific window, or just a custom area you choose – all without opening another program.

Step 1 : Find what you want to capture: Open the webpage or document you need a screenshot of.

Step 2 : Shortcut Time: Press Command + Shift + 5 on your keyboard simultaneously. This activates the screenshot tool.

Step 3: Turn it into a Camera: Hit the Spacebar key. This transforms the cursor into a little crosshair, ready to capture a specific area.

Step 4 : Press the Record the entire screen button and then click anywhere on your screen. Scroll down to the bottom of the document or page

Step 5 : Capture! Glide your mouse over the window or area you want to grab. For scrolling screenshots, hold down the Option key while clicking.

Step 6 : Snap! Release the mouse button to save your screenshot. By default, it saves to your desktop, but you can change this in your System Preferences.

5. Browser Extensions for Chrome

If you don’t want to install an app and are looking for an easy way to go about it, the Zight Chrome extension is it. A quick and straightforward solution.

Step 1: Install the Zight Chrome Extension

Zight Chrome extension

Add the Zight extension to your Chrome web browser for quick and easy access.

  • To get started, search for Zight on the Chrome web store on your Mac
  • Click ‘Add to Chrome’
  • Once you see the popup, click ‘Add Extension’
  • The extension will then download and appear in your toolbar
  • You can also choose to ‘pin’ the Zight extension to get even quicker access

Step 2: Open Your Webpage

Open the webpage that you want to capture. Whether it’s a lengthy article, an entire webpage, or a long chat thread, Zight will do it for you.

Step 3: Choose Your Frame – Full Screen or Region

After activating the screenshot function, decide on the frame of your capture. Since we want to capture a full-page screenshot, select Full Screen to capture everything displayed on your device.

Step 4: Saving the Chrome Full-Page Screenshot

Once you’ve captured the screenshot, it will automatically upload to Zight’s secure cloud and add a Zight link to your clipboard. You can then paste the link or the content into your chosen platform.

Step 5: Share your Screenshot

To share your full-page screenshot, click the “Share” button. You can copy the autogenerated link to send it to anyone, drag and drop screen recordings into emails and chat apps, share directly to platforms like Trello , Asana , and Slack , or embed it in an email .

6. Developer Tools

Alternatively, Chrome users can also use developer tools to capture scrolling screenshots. Although it is a hidden menu bar, it can help to capture screenshots too. However, this is not the easiest method to take a scrolling screenshot, so it can be confusing for beginners. Luckily, we’ll break it down for you.

Step 1 : Open the Google Chrome browser on your Mac. Alternatively, you can use the Alt + Command + I keyboard shortcut.

Step 2 : Click on the three dots in the top right corner and click to open the Developer Tools.

Developer Tools

Step 3 : There is a menu bar within the Developer Tools screen. You’ll notice three vertical dots. Click on them, then select Run Command.

Google Chrome screenshot tool

Step 4 : Choose the desired size of your screenshot by clicking with your mouse pointer in the Run Command box that appears when you type “screenshot” to bring up related options. You will be looking for the Capture full-size screenshot result.

Step 5 : Capture the screenshot by clicking on the three dots by the size settings. Choose Capture full-size screenshot to screenshot the entire page. Choose the folder and save the image to your computer. Then, select the Screenshot button, which will capture a screenshot of the current webpage (without displaying the underlying code).

full page screen capture

Step 6 : Save the Screenshot: Your screenshot will be saved within your default downloads folder, but remember to save it if prompted.

7. Safari Screenshot Tool

If you want to capture a full-page screenshot on your Mac using Safari, there’s a workaround you can try. However, it’s tricky and might not deliver the best results. For a smoother experience, we recommend using Firefox or Chrome to take your scrolling screenshots.

Nonetheless, if you prefer Safari, here’s how to go about it:

Step 1 : Launch Safari and navigate to the webpage you want to capture.

Step 2 : Click on the Develop menu in the menu bar and select Show Web Inspector. If the Develop menu is not visible, go to Menu → Safari → Settings → Advanced tab and check ‘Show Develop menu in menu bar’.

Scrolling Capture

Step 3 : In the Web Inspector window, select the Elements tab.

Step 4 : Right-click on the <html> tag and choose Capture Screenshot from the menu.

The scrolling screenshot will be saved as an image file on your desktop. However, the resulting PNG might be less effective than a PDF, even after cropping.

8. Save as PDF

Save as PDF

This method of capturing scrolling screenshots on your Mac is suitable for capturing text-heavy content because it preserves the original format of the content. This might seem a bit like a cheat. You act as if you’re going to print the webpage, but instead of printing, you save it as a PDF file on your computer! It’s faster than using extensions or online recorders.

However, it will limit you when it comes to selecting a specific region, and also the interactive elements might not be captured correctly. Also, you can’t choose the file format. If you need a PNG or JPG, you’ll have to convert the PDF later.

Here’s how to go about it:

Step 1 : Navigate to the webpage you want to capture. Click the “File” button on the top or press Command + P

Step 2 : Click the “Print” button from the list of the dropdown menu

Step 3 : Select the “ Save as PDF ” button from the bottom PDF list

Step 4 : Click the “ Save ” button to take a scrolling screenshot of your notes, webpage, or document as PDF on Mac.

Since there are many ways you can take a scrolling screenshot on Mac, the choice is yours as it might depend on what you are looking for, whether in image, video, or PDF format. However, as per us, using a dedicated screenshot tool like Zight is the best as there are countless reasons why not to use native screenshot tools . After all, it comes with bonus features ensuring you maximize your productivity without downloading other tools.

Are you now going to get a Mac scrolling screenshot using the best tool? Get Zight today !

How to clear the cache on my iMac?

Following your direction into Library/Caches I can see hundreds of Folders, each with dozens of folders within folders in hierarchy, with files of various suffixes and names beginning with "Cache." Are all these candidates to Delete in one broad stroke? Or, must I search each folder for ONLY those files that are names starting in 'Cache?"

My Mac is loading VERY slow from start and slow to load programs and I was advised to clear all caches and that was what I am trying to do, is there another way to solve my slowness problem?

Apr 13, 2023 9:48 PM in response to dsburn99

To clear the cache on your iMac, follow these steps:

1. Open the Finder app on your iMac.

2. Click on the "Go" menu at the top of the screen.

3. Hold down the "Option" key on your keyboard and click on the "Library" option that appears.

4. In the Library folder, open the "Caches" folder.

5. Select the folder(s) of the app(s) whose cache you want to clear.

6.Press the "Command" and "Delete" keys on your keyboard to move the selected folder(s) to the Trash.

7. Empty the Trash by right-clicking on the Trash icon in the Dock and selecting "Empty Trash."

It's important to note that clearing the cache may cause some apps to take longer to load the first time you use them after the cache has been cleared, but it can help free up space on your iMac and potentially improve its performance.

Would you care to explain how clearing a cache improves a Mac's performance?

Sure! When you use your Mac, your computer stores data in the cache memory to make it easier and faster to access that data again in the future. This can include things like web pages you've visited, app data, and system files.

Over time, however, the cache memory can become cluttered with outdated or unnecessary data, which can slow down your Mac's performance. Clearing the cache memory can help to free up space and improve your Mac's performance by removing this unnecessary data.

There are a few different types of cache memory that you may want to clear:

  • Browser cache: If you use a web browser like Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, these browsers store website data in their cache memory. Clearing this cache can help to free up space and improve your browser's performance.
  • App cache: Some apps also store data in the cache memory. Clearing this cache can help to free up space and improve the performance of those apps.
  • System cache: Your Mac also has a system cache that stores system files and data. Clearing this cache can help to free up space and improve your Mac's overall performance.

Overall, clearing the cache memory can be a helpful way to improve your Mac's performance, especially if you've been using your computer for a long time and haven't cleared the cache in a while. However, it's important to note that clearing the cache won't necessarily solve all performance issues, and you may need to take other steps to optimize your Mac's performance.

Caches speed up the system.

It would be better to describe what kind of system you have in as much detail as possible. Then describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible.

No. Be more specific than that.

Apr 12, 2023 1:53 PM in response to etresoft

I am running Monterey 12.6.3. When starting from cold it takes over 2 minutes (sometimes much longer) for the white line to move across then another couple of minutes for Safari to load and similar with all other applications. Safari is the only application in the startup menu. Once an application has loaded it is still very slow. There is still lots of space available on the hard drive.

Apr 12, 2023 4:03 PM in response to dsburn99

The amount of free space is irrelevant. What kind of iMac is this? My guess is that you have an older iMac that has only a mechanical hard drive. If my guess is correct, this is as good as it gets. Those old iMacs (up to 2019) are just horribly slow.

If you have a newer one from 2017 or later, you can get an external Thunderbolt 3 SSD and use that as a boot drive. Just make sure it is a true Thunderbolt SSD. It is 2023, so in many cases, claims about being "Thunderbolt" are simply lies.

XCUITest Screenshots not saving

I have some (very old ObjC) XCUITests, in Xcode 15.2. I recently noticed programmatic screenshots are not saving. The screenshots generated automatically by XCUITest are saving fine. This is code that used to work as expected; I do not know when it broke as I haven't had need to run this in a while.

During testing I added the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum call, to verify the code is running and the image is available - and it does. But I really don't want these images cluttering up my library.

The results are the same whether I run my tests from within Xcode, or via the command line.

I need these screenshots so I have a set in PNG format, with standardized naming, for archiving, searching, and comparisons. The automatic screenshots are in Xcode's format - useful when reviewing a single test, which isn't my use case here.

Apple WWDC 2024: the 13 biggest announcements

Apple’s wwdc keynote had a lot to do with ai..

By Emma Roth , a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO.

Share this story

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote has come to a close — and the company had a whole lot to share. We got our first look at the AI features coming to Apple’s devices and some major updates across the company’s operating systems.

If you missed out on watching the keynote live, we’ve gathered all the biggest announcements that you can check out below.

Apple’s first AI system is coming to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac

screenshot on mac safari

With almost all of big tech getting in on the AI boom, it’s no surprise that Apple is launching an AI system of its own. Apple Intelligence is the company’s new personal intelligence system “that puts powerful generative models right at the core of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.” That enables a ton of new capabilities across Apple’s native apps, such as the ability to generate images or summarize text.

Apple Intelligence comes with a big emphasis on security, as the system will automatically decide whether it needs to use on-device processing or contact Apple’s private cloud computing server to fulfill your request. The system will be available for free and on the iPhone 15 Pro as well as on iPads and Macs with an M1 chip and later.

Siri gets a big AI boost

Apple’s big push into AI also includes Siri. The upgraded voice assistant will now be integrated more deeply into the iPhone, appearing as a pulsating light on the edge of your device. It will give you more control over your apps, allowing you to ask the voice assistant to find information inside a particular email or even surface a photo of one of your friends. Apple is relying on LLMs to help Siri better understand what you say and keep track of follow-up requests and questions.

Apple is building ChatGPT into Siri

Siri’s big AI upgrade also includes an integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot. With the new integration, Siri will automatically determine whether a query would be better suited for ChatGPT. It will then ask for your permission before sending its request to ChatGPT. You’ll be able to use ChatGPT through Siri for free and without an account.

New AI features in Mail, Messages, Photos, and more

screenshot on mac safari

Apple is rolling out a bunch of new AI features across its apps in iOS 18, including a way to summarize emails and generate responses. The company showed off its new Genmoji feature , letting you create custom emoji based on a text prompt, along with a new AI image generator called Image Playground.

Apple is bringing AI to the Photos app, too, giving you the ability to search for photos using natural language. You can also clean up objects in the background of your pictures, similar to Google’s Magic Eraser . Additionally, Apple is adding AI-powered transcriptions and summaries to Notes and the Phone apps.

The iPhone gets more customizable in iOS 18

Aside from all the AI, Apple is introducing a new and more customizable Control Center in iOS 18. It’s also launching a way to freely place app icons on your homescreen. The company will also let you lock certain apps with the coming update, preventing other people from using them when you hand them your phone.

Other major changes include a Photos app redesign and a new Game Mode for iPhone that minimizes background activity to optimize gameplay.

The iPhone is finally getting RCS support

After announcing support for RCS last year , Apple confirmed that it’s arriving with iOS 18. It didn’t expand on any other details beyond that, though.

iMessage is getting some other upgrades, too, including the ability to schedule texts and support for SMS messaging via satellite . Apple is also rolling out colorful Tapback options and will let you bold, underline, and italicize text.

Apple TV Plus adds “inSights” to tell you which actor is onscreen

Apple TV Plus is getting a new feature that will let you swipe down on your remote to show the actors and their characters in the movie or TV show that you’re watching. You can also find out the current song that’s playing and add it to your Apple Music playlist. Apple TV Plus will automatically show subtitles when you mute a show and will support 21:9 projectors.

A Passwords app to keep track of your logins

screenshot on mac safari

As rumored last week , Apple has revealed a new Passwords app that will let you keep track of your login details across different devices. The app will let you generate and store passwords similar to other password managers like LastPass and 1Password. Passwords will be available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, and even Windows.

iPadOS 18 adds a Calculator app with Apple Pencil support

screenshot on mac safari

The iPad is finally getting a Calculator app more than a decade after its release. It comes with a new feature called Math Notes, which lets you use the Apple Pencil to write equations on your iPad and have the app solve it for you.

Apple is launching a Smart Script feature as well, which uses machine learning to improve the appearance of your handwriting and spell-check your notes.

macOS 15 will let you mirror your iPhone

screenshot on mac safari

Apple’s next macOS update will let you mirror your iPhone on your Mac. You’ll be able to interact with your iPhone directly from your Mac, letting you view notifications and hear the audio playing from your mobile device.

There’s also a new Highlights feature coming to Safari, which uses machine learning to pick out interesting parts of a page.

Apple will automatically surface widgets in watchOS 11

screenshot on mac safari

There are a ton of new features coming to watchOS 11, too, including a new capability that automatically adds widgets based on when you need them. Apple is launching a new Vitals app that will let you “explore your most important health metrics with just a glance” as well as new cycle tracking features, Live Activities, and support for Check In, allowing your loved ones to track you during your workout.

visionOS 2 adds spatial photos and an ultrawide Mac display

Apple has announced visionOS 2, its first major update for the operating system. One of the new features coming to the Vision Pro uses machine learning to bring depth to an existing photo. The update will also introduce support for an ultrawide virtual Mac display, more intuitive gestures, and support for travel mode on trains.

Apple is also planning to bring the Vision Pro to more countries, including China, Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, and the UK.

The next AirPods Pro update will let you quietly respond to Siri

Apple is launching Siri Interactions in its next AirPods Pro software update, letting you shake your head yes or no to respond to Siri’s announcements. The AirPods Pro are also getting Voice Isolation to enhance voice quality and reduce background noise.
