Website screenshot tool

Paste a link and take a screenshot of a website online — the whole page, or just the part that fits the screen. Then style it with a browser frame, a background and a size that is ready to post. No signup, no watermark.

  • Full page or viewport, up to @2x
  • Cookie banners and ads removed
  • Light and dark mode capture

From link to post in three steps

The capture runs on our renderer, the styling runs in your browser. Nothing to install, no extension, no account to make.

  1. step 1

    Paste a URL

    Type any address — sowiks.com or a deep link. Pick desktop, tablet or phone width, then the visible part or the full page. Cookie banners, ads and chat widgets are removed before the shot.

  2. step 2

    Style the result

    Add a light or dark browser frame, a background and padding, then pick a ready size: link preview, 16:9 slide, Instagram or App Store.

  3. step 3

    Download or copy

    Save the styled PNG, copy it straight into Slack, Figma or a doc, or take the raw capture with no styling at all.

How to screenshot an entire webpage

A full-page screenshot is the whole scrollable height of a page in one image, not just the part on screen. Every browser can produce one, and this tool can do it from the URL without opening the page at all. Here is each method, shortest first.

This page, from the URL

  1. 1Paste the address into the field above.
  2. 2Set Area to Full page and pick the width you want the page rendered at.
  3. 3Press Capture. The renderer scrolls the page, so lazy images load and the sticky header appears once.

Works in any browser, including on a phone, and removes cookie banners and ads before the shot.

Chrome and Edge

  1. 1On the page, press ⌘⌥I (Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows) to open developer tools.
  2. 2Press ⌘⇧P to open the command menu.
  3. 3Type “screenshot” and choose “Capture full size screenshot”.

The PNG lands in your Downloads folder at your own window width, with whatever overlays were on screen.

Firefox

  1. 1Right-click anywhere on the page.
  2. 2Choose “Take Screenshot”, then “Save full page”.
  3. 3Check the preview and save the PNG.

The only browser where full-page capture is a visible, standard feature rather than a developer tool.

Safari

  1. 1In Settings → Advanced, turn on “Show features for web developers”.
  2. 2Open the Web Inspector with ⌘⌥I and go to the Elements tab.
  3. 3Right-click the line starting with the html tag and choose Capture Screenshot.

Select any element instead of html and Safari captures just that block — an article or a table, with no header.

The browser methods capture the page as it is on your screen, cookie banner and all, at whatever width your window happens to be. They also stop at the browser: for a chat window, an app or a page behind a login, you need a capture tool on the Mac itself — that is what scrolling capture is for.

Other generators stop at the capture

Most free tools hand back a raw PNG. Here the capture is the first step, not the last.

Need a page behind a login, or just part of one?

A server only sees public pages. Sowiks for Mac captures what is on your own screen — dashboards, drafts, one element or a whole scrolling page — then annotates it and turns it into a link.

Questions

How do I take a screenshot of an entire webpage?+

Paste the address above, switch Area to Full page and press Capture. The renderer scrolls the page for you, so lazy-loaded images appear and a sticky header shows up once instead of repeating down the image.

Can I screenshot a website without an extension?+

Yes — that is what this page is. Nothing is installed in your browser: the page is rendered on our side and the image comes back to you, so it works the same in Safari, Chrome, Firefox or on a phone.

Is the website screenshot generator free?+

Yes. No signup, no watermark. There is a fair-use limit of ten captures a day per visitor so the generator stays fast for everyone.

Can it capture the whole page, not just the top?+

Choose Full page and the renderer scrolls the site, loads lazy images and captures its full height at the width you picked, up to 12,000 pixels.

Why did a site come back blocked or blank?+

Some sites refuse automated browsers. You get a clear error instead of a broken image, and the attempt does not count against your daily captures. For those sites, and for anything behind a login, use Sowiks for Mac.

Do you store the screenshots?+

Captures are cached for 24 hours so a repeat of the same request is instant, then deleted. The styling happens in your browser and never reaches our servers.

Can I use the images commercially?+

The capture is yours to use. The content in it belongs to the site owner, so check their terms before publishing a screenshot of someone else's site.
