Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I capture some external websites?

Due to browser security (CORS policy), external websites may block cross-origin content access. The tool works best with same-origin content or HTML you paste directly.

What is the difference between viewport and full-page capture?

Viewport captures only the visible area (what you see without scrolling). Full-page captures the entire scrollable content including areas that require scrolling.

Can I capture websites that require login?

For security reasons, capturing logged-in pages is limited. For best results, paste the HTML content directly rather than using a URL for authenticated pages.

What is the maximum screenshot size?

The tool can capture large pages, but very long pages (10,000+ pixels) may take longer or fail due to browser memory limits. For very long pages, try viewport mode.

Will interactive elements like videos be captured?

Static content is captured, but dynamic elements like playing videos or animations will be captured at a single moment. Interactive features won't be functional in the image.

Can I schedule automatic screenshots?

This tool requires manual capture. For automated scheduled screenshots, you'll need dedicated monitoring or automation tools.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes, the tool works on mobile browsers. However, full-page captures of large websites may be slower on mobile due to device memory constraints.

How do I capture a specific element instead of full page?

This version captures entire pages. To capture specific elements, paste only the relevant HTML snippet instead of the full page URL.
