Website Capture

What Website Capture does

Website Capture turns a web address into a screenshot. You paste a URL, choose how much of the page and which device size you want, and ScreenSnap Pro saves the result like any other screenshot: in your save folder, on your clipboard and in Quick Preview. The page is loaded and rendered online, not in your browser, so you don't need to open it or scroll through it. Website Capture needs an active license and an internet connection.

Capture a web page

The page has to load before it can be captured, so give each capture a moment to finish.

1. 1Choose Capture Website from the menu bar or tray menu. It opens Capture Controls on the Web Capture tab. You can also choose Open Capture Controls… and switch to that tab yourself.
2. 2Paste the address into the Paste a website URL field.
3. 3Choose Fullpage or First screen.
4. 4Choose a device size. Desktop (1920×1080) is the default.
5. 5Click Capture or press Enter. The button shows Capturing… while the page loads.
6. 6When it's done, the bar closes and the screenshot appears in Quick Preview.

Fullpage or First screen

Fullpage captures the whole page from top to bottom, including everything you would normally scroll to. First screen captures only what fits in one screen of the chosen device, for example 1920×1080 pixels with Desktop Full HD (1920×1080).

Device sizes

Choose the size the page is rendered at. The sizes are each device's screen size in CSS pixels. Phone and tablet sizes render at the device's pixel density (2x or 3x), so the saved image is sharper and larger than the numbers suggest.

1. 1Desktop: Desktop HD (1280×720) and Desktop Full HD (1920×1080).
2. 2Mobile: iPhone SE (375×667), iPhone 17 (402×874), iPhone 17 Pro Max (440×956), Pixel 8 (412×915) and Galaxy S24 (360×800).
3. 3Tablet: iPad mini (744×1133), iPad Air (820×1180), iPad Pro 13″ (1024×1366) and Galaxy Tab S10 (800×1280).

Which pages work

Website Capture works with public web addresses. You can paste an address with or without https://, and http:// addresses are captured over https. Local addresses such as localhost, and names without a domain, are not accepted. Because the page is loaded online rather than in your browser, it is captured the way a signed-out visitor sees it.

If a capture fails

The capture bar shows what went wrong:

1. 1"Enter a valid website address." Check the address for typos and make sure it includes a domain, like example.com.
2. 2"The website took too long to load. Try First-screen mode or a different URL." Switch to First screen, or try again later.
3. 3"Too many website captures. Please wait a moment and try again." Wait a little before the next capture.
4. 4"Couldn't capture this website right now. Please try again." Try again in a moment, or open the page in your browser and capture it with Capture Area.
