How to Grab a Screenshot of an Entire Web Page

By Jon Henshaw

Web designers and marketers often need full-size screenshots for before-and-after shots and also for portfolio pieces. Fortunately, there’s many ways to create website screenshots. However, among all of the options, my favorite way to make full-length screenshots is by using Screengrab! — a Firefox Add-on.

Using Screengrab! is about as easy as it gets. Simply bring up the page you want to grab and then click on the Screengrab! icon on the status bar.

    Another very good Firefox extension for screen shots is Fireshot, has lots of options, and will take the full page. It puts a button on the main toolbar, just hit that and you have an image. It also allows you to do some editing.

    The information was insightful. I’ve never written a blog before, so the information was very useful in determining which programs to use.
