QuickCaptureHow to take a scrolling screenshot on Windows
Windows' own tools only capture what is visible. A scrolling screenshot captures everything below as well, in one tall image: a full web page, a long chat, a spreadsheet or a document.
Step by step
Start a scrolling capture
Press Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen, or click “Scrolling” on QuickCapture's home screen.
Choose what should scroll
Drag across the part of the screen that scrolls, or click a window to use all of it.
Let it scroll
The page scrolls by itself while QuickCapture joins the frames. Press Esc to stop early; everything captured so far is kept.
Check the seams
If a frame may not line up exactly, an orange line marks the doubtful seam. Click “Fix seam” and drag across the doubled or missing band to cut it out.
Copy, save or edit
The finished image is on your clipboard and in your history. Save it as PNG, JPEG, WebP or AVIF, or click “Edit” to mark it up.
Tips
- Close pop-ups and sticky banners first so they do not repeat down the page
- If the content does not scroll, QuickCapture captures the visible part and tells you
- Wide tables work best when you select just the table, not the whole window
Questions and answers
Does Windows have scrolling screenshots built in?
Not in Snipping Tool, which captures what is visible on screen. Some browsers can save a full page, but only for web pages. QuickCapture works in any window that scrolls.
Is the long screenshot uploaded anywhere?
No. Scrolling and stitching happen on your PC, and the image is saved only where you choose.
