PicPick - Capture Scrolling Area - Free for Personal Use on Windows

 

 

Firefox has a built-in feature for capturing a webpage but I don't see how to stop when the app is doing scrolling capture. Sometimes you don't want a full webpage, just want a part of it and to capture that part it needs a scrolling capture.

Because PicPick allows users to stop capturing whenever they want and it shows the capturing area clearly, that makes this kind of app is useful for the info diggers.

The test steps - PicPick 7.2.7
OS: Windows 11 Home
Download from the developer's website: https://picpick.app/en/


1. Download and install the app. Open it.

Set the target window by scrolling up top before capturing.

If you see a window in the picture above, click 'File'.

Click menu 'Scrolling Window'.


The app will show you the guide line for capturing area but the best practice for me is dragging to draw the target area myself.

In the picture above, I dragged the target area included a scroll bar.

When I finished, the app automatically scrolled the window and showed the small preview of captured area at the top right of capturing area.

In the picture above, you'll see the border of the capturing area.

When it reaches to the end, it will stop but you can stop it yourself whenever you want by pressing 'Esc' key

The output will be sent to the editor, see the picture above.

To save it, click 'File' menu, select a format to save.

2. This app can do a scrolling capture for part of a webpage too.


Windows setting window

If the output is not good enough.

You can use a tool to copy color in the editor.

Click a tool and click the target color, that color will show in 'Color 1'

Then click a tool 'Draw'.


Select size.

Draw to remove the unwanted part.

That's it. The app is easy to use.
