A screenshot is a saved image of everything that’s visible on screen at a given point of time. We often take screenshots for various purposes. It is a simple task. But sometimes we also need to capture content that is not visible on the screen. Therefore, we scroll down to capture the content as a second screenshot and then edit to combine various screenshots into a single image. However, in the process, you end up compromising on the image quality. So, how do we capture an entire webpage or scrollable screen as a single continuous image?

There are quite a few free and paid tools available that helps you capture a full webpage or scrollable screen.  Most of these tools are intuitive and easy to use. You just need to use a couple of hot keys to capture a scrolling window. These tools also support many other useful features. Let us look at some of the free tools that can capture an entire webpage.
