All Tutorials > Snagit > Capture a Scrolling Area
Capture the entire contents of a web browser or application window including the content that extends beyond the visible area in the window.
Snagit’s scrolling capture allows you to take screenshots of entire webpages, long documents, wide spreadsheets, and any other window on your screen that requires scrolling to see everything in it.
There are two ways to capture a scrolling area:
Panoramic capture allows you to scroll up, down, or side-to-side to capture long web pages and documents or wide windows such as spreadsheets. It offers more control than automatic scrolling to precisely capture only the desired portion of a window.
The capture opens in Snagit Editor where you can preview, edit, and share the capture.
Tip: Save time with the Panoramic Scrolling preset and a custom hotkey.
By default, Snagit Capture includes a preset for Panoramic Scrolling capture. For details about capture presets and how to assign a keyboard shortcut, see Save Capture Settings as Presets.
The capture opens in Snagit Editor where you can preview, edit, and share the capture.
Note: Scrolling Arrows may not appear if the application, browser, or website does not support automatic scrolling, or if scrolling capture is not enabled.
To make sure scrolling is enabled on Mac, select Snagit menu > Settings (macOS 13 or later) or Preferences (macOS 12 or older) > Capture tab > Fix Capture Permissions. Click Enable for the Scrolling Capture option.
