Screenshot Webpage, How Do I Do This?

I have a laptop (like a desktop) and need to screenshot some things. Could someone kindly tell me how to do this please? My investment is not what it seems, webpage says monthly income, and I have discovered the income is actually part of my own money. I need to save this description before they change it, after I complain. Thanks

        You will need:

        1. A camera
        2. Film
        3. A flash bulb
        4. Water
        5. Developer
        6. Citric acid
        7. Ammonium thiosulfate
        8. A dark room

      Firefox has screenshot built in too.

        So does Windows, which makes the browser ones a bit redundant.

          How do you screenshot a whole page (scrolling) with Windows?

          • +2

            @askbargain: Either get a bigger monitor and screenshot once or screenshot, scroll to next section of page, screenshot and repeat until you've done the entire page. Might take a while depending how much scrolling you need to do….

              @Zachary: And send them to you to merge?

              • @askbargain: No, you connect the seams yourself like everyone else unless you want them in separate files….

            • @Zachary: That seems more trouble than it's worth. I'd rather one huge image.

              • @Caped Baldy:

                Either get a bigger monitor and screenshot once

                • @Zachary: There's software solutions which do it automatically…

                  • @Caped Baldy: …that cut off after you screenshot more than 10k px?

                    • @Zachary: I just did it in firefox. Over 20k and I'd guess it would go even further… but if you want to make life difficult for yourself go ahead.

                      • -2

                        @Caped Baldy: Well mine cuts off or stops at 10k for some reason… For example trying to screenshot this including all the comments which is around 42361 pixels high, Nimbus and inspect screenshot would cut off at 10k, whilst firefox default screenshotter will cut off at around the 32k mark so I would still need to manually screenshot the remaining 10k and then stitch that underneath the the 32k shot one to have the full 42k shot as advertised…

                        When they cut off, they may exhibit theses conditions: 1 or 2

                        What program do you use that doesn't have these…issues? Can you screenshot that whole page including all its comments totaling the 42k pixels without needing to stitch any shots together to finish the whole page shot off?

          • -1

            @askbargain: TBH that's an issue that's never come up for me. I currently have a 4k monitor so it's unlikely I'll need to screen shot more than 2000px high section.

    If you use chrome find a screenshot add on in the add-ons store that has the most ratings/installs and use that - should be as simple as clicking a button on the toolbar

    • +1

      yes I am using chrome

      • +6

        I use GoFullPage. It creates a full page screenshot on one click and once it finishes it will show you the screenshot which you can save to disk.

        For basic screenshot, just press Print Screen key on your keyboard (almost every laptop should have one sometimes combined wth another function.
        then open MSPaint and paste into there and save.

      • Use ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸฆŠ right click the page and select Scrolling screenshot

        • Why don't you just print to a pdf if you need a copy of a full webpage?

          • @wozz: Depends on your purpose (I'm a developer so if I'm doing this it's either to document a problem with page layout or inclusion in user documentation).

            Print to pdf will use any print stylesheet and generally format differently.

    Go to your Start Menu, search for 'Snipping Tool'.

    Best Windows tool in the world.

    • +5

      I could get the snip while browsing OzBargain. What an incredible deal!

      • +1

        I do need to get the snip. Someone told me to ask the Internet about it. Where can I find the Internet?

        • +5

          You need to fax Netscape for a CD with their "web browsing" application in it - Netscape Navigator 1.0

          When you get the installation disk then you will be able to install in internet onto your computer.

      • Sometime I accidentally trip on a pair of scissors

      cool tool, but love it how the mouse pointer dissappears when using it, and also printing sucks, you need to cut n paste to word i find

      • You can also save to a file and then right click on it and choose print.

        But agree, the snipping tool needs a direct method for printing.

        • Dont know if it's just me but it never prints for me like that. Gives me the option but it never works.
          I have to insert in to word or similar and print the document

      That really sums up the quality of Microsoft's products.

      Download greenshot. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't put image straight to clipboard, You select whether to edit it, save it, copy to clipboard etc.

      • +5

        Not sure why you're being downvoted.

        Tried out Greenshot after MS announced they're deprecating Snipping Tool, and it's so much better:

        • Can be launched with Print Screen button at any time
        • Throws you straight into screen snipping mode
        • Keyboard shortcuts can modify what snip type you take (Capture region, whole window or whole screen)
        • You get options immediately after snipping on where to send it - straight to clipboard for pasting into something else, into an editor where you can draw on it (with more than just a freehand pen too), save directly to a file, etc
        • You can copy it back to clipboard after drawing on it (instead of having to save it as a file and drag it up again in the target application)
      • +5

        The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't put image straight to clipboard, You select whether to edit it, save it, copy to clipboard etc.

        This is configurable.

        Right click on the icon in the system tray > Quick Preferences > Destination > Change from "Select Destination dynamically" to "Copy to Clipboard"

        This
        have been using it for years now and its a great tool to auto upload, save to clipboard or save screenshots.
        Also lets you select specific regions (crop the screenshot) very easily
        Auto kicks in when you press the screenshot button so you dont have to make any extra clicks or button presses with the snipping tool

      • Pretty sure you can make it save to clipboard in settings

      Windows Key + Shift + S

      Snipping Tool has been replaced by Snip & Sketch, just wish could use the delay from the shortcut.

  • +49

    Shift-Windows-S

    Then drag your cursor over the section of the screen you want to capture.

    • +21

      Never knew that, always used Windows-Shift-S

      • +3

        Microsoft is replacing Snipping Tool with this window capture command, called "Snip & Sketch" I believe. It tells you the command when you open Snipping Tool now.

        • +2

          and they're becoming very flexible in which order you hold down keys

        • +1

          Not to be confused with Snitch and Skep which will get you stitches.

    • where do they save?

      • +1

        Clipboard

        • thanks!

          Where is Clipboard ?

          • +1

            @frewer: Nobody knows. It's just there. It's a Microsoft mystery. Use control V (or right click / paste) to paste the contents of the clipboard.

            • @Muzeeb: I dont like mystery, especially from Microsoft

          • +1

            @frewer: clipboard can be opened with windows+V

      • +1

        memory (clipboard as per MS Paint), then Ctrl-V to paste into a tool of choice (eg. mspaint.exe, word, etc…)

        • thanks!

          • +2

            @What is rrp: The screenshot will be in your notifications too, click on it and you can edit, save or print from there also.

      There are some pretty dodgy people on the internet. Better to come to a nice safe place like here. We're pretty knowledgeable, and don't demand points for answering questions.

      • +5

        For something as basic as taking screnshot?

        If op had typed into Google "how to screen shot laptop", it would have shown a list if steps and even pictures. Far easier for a beginner.

        If you read ops reply, its basic laziness. Knowing you'd be willing to do the work for them.

      • -3

        I wouldnt call being bullied and made fun of and called lazy as a ^nice safe place^ at all. I did it because I was in a stressful urgent situation and wanted peoples experience of the best options. In the end I used a combination of one I came up with (right click save as webpage) and one someone else came up with. (shift windows s) for the facebook ad that drew me in. So thank you to the nice normal helpful people and for the rest, well, I cant say what I want to say to you, so God bless you

    Just take a photo of your laptop screen…what some of my customers do…๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    • +11

      I love Gumtree ads where the photos are photos of the laptop monitor with actual photo. ๐Ÿ™„

    • +5

      I remember seeing a Facebook marketplace ad of someone trying to sell their phone but they didnโ€™t have any other means of taking the photo so they took a photo of their hand, using their fingers to show how big the phone would be ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    • That's hardly professional. The professional way to do it is to take a screen snip and somehow compress it down to ~12 pixels before emailing it with no context.

  • +8

    pick up phone
    take photo
    send to self by email

    or

    get drawing pad, draw screen
    take photo of drawing
    send to self by email

      As a 24MB BMP file

  • +7

    +1 for print and save as pdf

    Here's another way for those interested if you use Chrome:

    1) CTRL + SHFIT + I
    2) CTRL + SHIFT + P
    3) Search "capture full size screenshot"

    • +1

      Edit > Advantage of this method is that you get a scrolling window screenshot

    • No idea why they made that a feature of the browser's Developer Tools instead of the main browser. So hard to remember how to do it.

    • +3

      CTRL + SHFIT + I

      Where's the SHFIT key?

      • +1

        On Aliexpress keyboards

        the size of the space bar / enter key / shfit key

      • Ah, just saw the typo now. Good spot! Can't edit unfortunately.

        • +3

          I really thought someone would point out that the SHFIT key is next to the ANY key…

  • +11

    I really need to learn to see OP's name first before reading the Post - could have saved myself some time here…

    • +14

      well that would be wasting a chance to make a snide comment wouldnt it?

    Press the PrtSc button on the page, then open paint and press ctrl v to paste the screen shot. Save image. Done.

    Download Greenshot. It will let you screenshot all or a selected part of your screen.

    • +6

      It will let you screenshot all or a selected part of your screen.

      As does the built in Windows Snip & Sketch tool…

      • +3

        Greenshot is better in my situation.
        I probably take over 100 screenshots a day at work, greenshot allows you to take one screen shot, then you hit Shift+Prt Screen and it screenshots from the same spot every time.
        Snipping Tool you have to click and drag over the area every time.
        Super handy if you're screenshotting the same place every time.
        Saves me so much time and effort!

  • +3

    Using Firefox, you can just right-click, "Take a Screenshot", then pick what you want to grab.

      Nice. Much better than what Chrome does by default. I like this!
