Do you need to capture an entire webpage, document, or image that is too large to fit on your screen? Snagit, a popular screen capture software, offers two options to capture a scrolling window automatically or manually. In this post, we will guide you on how to use these features to capture a scrolling window effortlessly.
Automatically Capture with Scrolling Arrows
To capture a scrolling window automatically, you need to follow these steps:
1. Open up the webpage, document, or image that you want to capture in Snagit’s capture window.
2. Click the “All-in-One” tab.
3. Click the “Capture” button.
4. Move the crosshairs over to the scrolling window. Orange arrows will appear if the scrolling window can be captured automatically.
5. Click on the arrow that points to the right or left, depending on the direction you want to capture.
6. Snagit will automatically scroll and capture the contents in the window.
Manually Capture with Panoramic Capture
If you prefer to have more control over the area you want to capture, you can use the panoramic capture option. Here are the steps:
1. With the “All-in-One” tab selected, click the “Capture” button.
2. Use the crosshairs to select an area of the window you want to capture.
3. Start at the top-left of the window and drag the crosshairs to the bottom-right corner.
4. Drag the handles to adjust the area you want to capture.
5. Click the “Panoramic Capture” button.
6. Click “Start” and scroll with your mouse or drag the scroll bars to capture the area you want.
7. Scroll at a steady pace, and Snagit will stitch the image together as you scroll and show it in a preview window.
8. Click “Stop” when you’ve captured all the area you need.
Tips for a Cleaner Image
To get a cleaner image, do not include the scroll bars in your selected area. Additionally, scroll at a steady pace to avoid gaps or overlaps in the final image. If you have captured a large image that appears small, change the zoom to “Actual Size” to get a better view.
