Scrolling screenshot – long pages as one image

A scrolling screenshot captures content that's taller than the screen — a web page, a long chat, a document — and automatically stitches the pieces into a single, continuous image. No more taking several screenshots and merging them by hand.

What is a scrolling screenshot?

A scrolling screenshot captures a region while the content inside it scrolls down, then stitches the frames into one tall image. That way an entire long page fits into a single screenshot.

Why does this feature exist?

Plenty of things are taller than the screen: articles, conversations, invoices, code files. Without scrolling capture you'd take several screenshots and stitch them together manually. Cropy.it does it in one pass.

Typical use cases

• Save an entire web page or a long article as one image.
• Capture a chat or email thread in one piece.
• Record a long document, table or invoice in full.

Step by step

1. Choose the "Scroll" option in the capture menu.
2. Drag out the region you want to record (e.g. the content column).
3. Cropy.it scrolls the content automatically and stitches the frames.
4. End the capture — the finished, continuous image opens in the editor.

Tips & tricks

• Pick a capture region without fixed headers/footers so they don't repeat in the image.
• Keep the mouse still during capture — Cropy.it drives the scrolling itself.
• Very long pages produce tall images; PNG or a file export works best for sharing.

Common mistakes

• Region too wide with sidebars: fixed elements may appear twice — drag tighter onto the scrolling content.
• Scrolling manually: unnecessary and disrupts stitching — Cropy.it handles it.
