Great app: Paparazzi

23 Sep 2004 by Ryan Singer

I’ve been looking so long for a simple Mac OS X tool that can take screenshots of pages that are much taller than my screen height, and I’ve finally found it: Paparazzi.

There are three fields: URL, Width, and Minimum Height. Click “Capture” to preview the screenshot. One more click to save a PNG. That’s it. Go get it!

This is something I have been looking for myself, although for Windows.

At the moment i take to stitching screenshots together in photoshop.

Anybody know of one for Windows?

Saft, an add-on to Safari, will do this as well. Plus it has many other nice features. Check it out at:

Dave,

I have used SnagIt on Windows. Not free, but worth the time you'll save not having to use Photoshop.

Oh, man that rules. I've been digging for a utility like this for ages. What a time saver this will be.

Thanks a million, Ryan!

Windows version can be found at: http://www.babysimon.co.uk/khtml2png/index.html

There WAS a URL2PNG app as well but it seems to have vanished.

There is a Win equivalent (URL2BMP) available here: http://www.pixel-technology.com/freeware/url2bmp/english/

I've used this a couple of times for grabbing super-long screenshots.

Thanks Guys...

url2bmp looks good a little fuzzy, but easy to use - i don't do it often, so can't really justify the expense of the others.

Thanks :)

I can second that recommendation of SnagIt for Windows. We've been using it for years. It's absolutely fantastic, and the fact that it's easy enough for the sales team to use makes it worth its weight in gold.

In a pinch I set the screen resolution as high as my monitor can stand. I have mangaged to get a capture of an entire page that way.

I've been looking for something like this. Thanks for the recommendation!

Beautiful! Just what I needed! Thank you!

I'm surprised there hasn't been a firefox extension for this. Off to download snag it.
