Easy Methods To Take Full Website Screenshots
Today I will share with you all the tools and resources that you can use for free to take instant screenshots of a website and post them on your blog or anywhere you would like. Some of these tools take full website screenshots while others just take partial but all of them can come very handy at times.
Method # 1: Use The Common Print Screen Method
This is one of the most commonly used methods. In this method you just press "Print Screen" on your keyboard and the computer saves the screenshot to the memory. You can simply retrieve and paste this image by opening an image editor and pressing Ctrl-V combination. You can then save the screenshot for use on your blog or on a website.
Remember to go Fullscreen (F11) before pressing "Print Screen" in order to get good quality and full length screenshot.
Method # 2: Use Different Firefox Extensions
Page Saver is a very sexy firefox extension that lets you capture images of web pages. The thing I like about this extension is that you can take screenshot by just pressing a button on your firefox toolbar. It even gives you the option to either capture full length or scaled down images of web pages.
ScreenGrab is another similar and easy to use Firefox extension that grabs images of web pages.
Method # 3: Use Pagebull The Visual Search Engine
Pagebull is a visual search engine that displays results in form of image thumbnails. To be honest I don't think there is any such use of other search engines as long as Google is in the spotlight but we can do a lot more using Pagebull than just search.
Type in the url of the web page of which you want to capture an image. Pagebull will generate a visual screenshot of that web page on the fly. Just hover over the "magnifying glass" icon near the bottom left of the image thumbnail and you will get a large web page screenshot of the url you requested. This is one of the best methods of taking a screenshot that I have discovered myself.
Method # 4: Use The WebShot Software
WebShot is a free and amazing utility 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. The very best thing about this application is that it allows to take screenshots of multiple web pages at once.
Method # 5: Use The Double Conversion Method
This is a rather difficult and time-consuming method targeted for those users who can not use the alternative methods mentioned above. The theory behind this method is to save the web page and convert it to PDF and then use the PDF and convert it to Image. This method is one of my own inventions too (Ok! Ok! I know its crap but still it works lol)
