Paparazzi! - Grab easy screenshots of a web page.

Paparazzi-Thumb.gifWhen you need to capture an image of a long website design, don't spend your billable hours stiching together multiple screenshots.

Mac-based designers should download a free copy of Paparazzi instead.

In Paparazzi, simply enter the URL and click Capture. Your web page loads in a small preview window. You can save the resulting image in a file format of your choice.

Tip: Use Paparazzi to preview what a site will look like at different resolution. Change the Crop Size pop-up to one of the presets (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768), or enter your own dimensions. You'll get a sense for how well the site design works with different size displays.
