Scroll Capture — Long Page Screenshots on macOS
Capture full-length web pages, documents, and app windows in a single screenshot on macOS. TrarrenShot's scroll capture automatically scrolls and stitches the content.
What is Scroll Capture?
Scroll Capture lets you take a full-length screenshot of any scrollable content on your Mac — web pages, long documents, chat histories, spreadsheets, and more — in a single image.
Instead of taking multiple screenshots and stitching them yourself, TrarrenShot does it automatically: it scrolls the content from top to bottom, capturing each frame and combining them into one seamless, high-resolution image.
Why Use Scroll Capture?
- Share complete content — send an entire article, email thread, or code file without cutting anything off.
- Document everything — capture a full browser page for design review, bug reports, or compliance records.
- Save time — one shortcut replaces multiple screenshots and manual editing.
How It Works
Activate Scroll Capture
Press ⌃⇧3 or open the TrarrenShot menu bar icon and choose Scroll Capture.
Select the region
Click and drag to draw a selection rectangle around the scrollable area. TrarrenShot detects the scroll container automatically.
Wait for the capture to finish
TrarrenShot scrolls the content at a natural pace and stitches the frames together. A preview appears when the capture is complete.
For best results, close any sticky headers or floating elements before starting a scroll capture. This prevents them from appearing multiple times in the final image.
Supported Content
Scroll Capture works with virtually any scrollable macOS app:

Tips & Tricks
- Slow scroll speed: TrarrenShot scrolls slowly enough for lazy-loaded images to appear in the capture.
- Keyboard shortcut: Customize the shortcut in TrarrenShot → Preferences → Shortcuts.
- Output format: Save as PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller file size) in preferences.
