Web Capture

Use Web Capture mode to capture images or other kinds of files from a Web site.

Web Capture mode captures images or other kinds of files from a Web site. Enter the Web site address and select the Web page link depth (the number of links away from the first Web page) to include in the search.

With Web capture you can:

• Specify public Web site URL to capture all images used on the site.
• Capture image files, for example GIF, JPG, and PNG.
• Capture audio files, for example MP3, WAV, WMA.
• Capture video files, for example AVI, MPG, WMV.
• Capture other files from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
• Preview the images from the Web site, then include or exclude them from the final scan.
• Direct the files to a folder on your PC so they can be browsed and viewed using Snagit Editor’s Library.

This mode does not capture Web pages. Use the Web page capture profile.
