Full web page screenshot with ScreenGrab

web page screenshot Full web page screenshot with ScreenGrabNormally, majority of us take screenshot of any web pages by  pressing the “Print Screen” button. But it can capture only the visible portion of the web page.

On my last post, I introduced a Firefox add on to capture full page screenshot with Pearl Crescent Page Saver. Page Saver is available in two editions. The Basic one is free but the Pro version costs $15.There are some difference between the two versions in terms  of facility. Such as, both version allow you to capture full screenshot of any web page but if you need to capture any specific area you can do it with the Pro version.

Recently , I found another free Firefox add on that allow to take screenshot of draggable  specific area which option is available on Page saver pro version. So, I am getting this facility for free with “ScreenGrab“, the Firefox add on which is mentioned in the title.

Basically Screengrab! let’s you take what you want from a web-page: the entire scrollable document, just the visible bit, or a draggable selection. Screengrab will even save just the contents of an individual frame.

It can capture any Java or Flash embedded in a page, but to do this it requires Java to be installed in the browser. The image file is saved as JPG or PNG.

The plugin is  available at the Firefox’s plugins/add-ons directory, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146

Install Screengrab addon . If you are not familiar with Firefox add on installation read my previous post where I showed with screenshot how to install Pearl Crescent Page Saver.

After restarting Firefox, ScreenGrab is now ready to go.

A menu will pop up, and at the very bottom, you should see “ScreenGrab” as the last option. You have a few different ways to take a screenshot with ScreenGrab:
