How to take a scrolling screenshot on Mac
A regular screenshot stops at the edge of the screen. ScreenFlowy Snap’s scrolling capture keeps going: select the part of the window that scrolls, scroll through it, and Snap stitches each new stretch onto one tall, seamless image.

Step by step
-
Start a scrolling capture
Click Snap’s icon in the menu bar and choose Scrolling Capture. To start it from the keyboard next time, give it a shortcut in the Hotkey section of Settings….
-
Select the area that scrolls
Drag over the part of the window that scrolls: the page, the conversation or the document itself. Press Esc to cancel.
-
Scroll
Scroll through it at your own pace, with your mouse or trackpad, or by clicking Scroll down. A live preview beside the area shows the image growing.
-
Finish
Press Return or click Done. The tall image opens in the editor, ready to style, mark up or redact.
-
Save or share it
Press ⌘S to save it to the ScreenFlowy Snap folder in your Pictures folder, ⌘C to copy it, or drag it from Drag Me straight into an email or a chat.
Sticky headers and moving content
Bars that stay put while the page scrolls, such as a site’s header or a chat’s title bar, appear once instead of repeating down the image. Videos and animations playing on the page don’t throw the stitching off.
