Capturing Screenshots on Mac computers are easy to take, and you can also share with friends and colleagues. You can easily upload the same on social media sites or somewhere else where you wish, but is it possible to capture entire web pages or scroll web contents on a Mac device. In most cases, the captured screen becomes limited to what you are viewing on your screen, but what to do if you want entire webpages or scrolling contents to be captured? Don’t worry; we provide some easy-to-use instructions that will guide you through this post on how you can take a full-page screen captured on your Mac.

Here are the steps to know how you can capture entire web pages on your Mac computer. You will also learn how to print the web pages, add annotations, copy to the clipboard, and share your desired screen with someone else.

Capturing Entire WebPages as Screenshots, Editing and Sharing Them with Others

Follow these straightforward steps if you want to capture a webpage entirely on your Mac:

First of all, you need to launch your desired web page you like to capture on your device.

Then, open the Capto app. If you don’t have the app, then download the same from Apple Store.

After that, go to the menu bar and then press the Capto icon there.

Choose the Snap browser URL.

Now, you will see a full webpage screenshot that will be saved to your Library. From there, you can easily organize, crop, and share your entire webpage as a screenshot.

Note: Capto is a very useful app widely used by creative professionals, students, marketers, and anyone who needs a powerful screen recorder on your Mac. It only works for capturing web pages. In case you want to grab some scrolling part of a particular app or a doc, Capto is not for you.

Capture a Scrolling Content On Mac

Several good apps can help you in taking screenshots of your desired scrolling contents or page on your Mac. One of the trusted apps is “CleanShot X.” It’s a universally used screen capturing app, especially for Mac.

If you want to capture scrolling content on your Mac, then these steps are for you:

First of all, open the CleanShot X on your device.

Then, go to the app menu and then hit the Scrolling Capture option.

After that, tap the Start Capture button and then scroll down the page you like to capture.

Once you have successfully captured your desired scrollable area, tap the Done option there.

Launch your captured screen using the overlay menu and make changes if required.

Capturing a Screen using Keyboard Shortcut

Mac’s keyboard shortcuts work better if you know the proper keys combination for grabbing the item you want. Also, you can use the keyboard shortcut to capture your entire screen. Here’s how:

Firstly, tap and hold-down the three keys in combination: ⌘-Shift-3, until you see the recording icon to record your entire screen in the form of a screenshot.

If you want an area to be captured as a screenshot on your Mac, then tap these three keys at one go: ⌘-Shift-4. You will see that your mouse pointer turns to crosshairs.

Now, move the crosshair on an area that you desire to take a screenshot of.

Most Mac computers have the feature to allow users to capture a particular portion visible on a window. For instance: the files on your desktop. If you want to do the same, then hold down the ⌘ key, Shift key, and 4 simultaneously, and then hit the Spacebar.

Once you have successfully taken a screenshot on your Mac using your Mac’s keyboard shortcuts, then your captured image will be saved to the desktop location as a PNG file automatically. It will also contain the date and time stamp informing when you have taken your screenshot.

Later, you can easily convert your files into other image formats like JPGs, GIFs, JPEGs, etc.

Now that you know how you can capture a screenshot of a particular area or entire web page on your Mac go forward, open your device, and use an app like Capto and CleanShot X. You can do several customizations like resize, rotate, crop, add some texts and arrows, etc. These apps provide some basic and interesting tools to edit your images. If you want more advanced features on your Mac like scrolling contents and webpage screenshot, then get other third-party apps but select a reliable one, as we have mentioned above.
