How to Take Scrolling Screenshot in Windows 11, 10

How-to-take-Scrolling-Screenshot-in-windows-10

Screenshots have become an integral part of our daily lives. While using Windows, you can easily take screenshots by pressing ‘PrtSc,’ ‘Alt+PrtSc,’ ‘Win+PrtSc,’ or ‘Fn+PrtSc,’.

However, capturing some of the details you want in a single screenshot is often only possible. In that case, you need scrolling screenshots.  But can you capture a scrolling screen with these key combinations? Sadly, that is not possible, as these key combinations only allow taking screenshots of selected or complete screens. To capture the full webpage or an entire page, you must take multiple shots and then join them to make a complete picture.

But does it have to be this way?

Well, No! TweakShot Screen Capture has you covered. This powerful tool allows you to take screenshots of content that can’t be seen in one go. The tool is great for snapshotting and performing the following tasks:

  • Take a screenshot of long web pages and documents.
  • Scrolling screen.
  • A selected area of the screen.
  • Complete screen.
  • Active screen.
  • Annotate, highlight, blur, and pixelate images.
  • Record video without a time limit and more.

The article explains how you can take scrolling screenshots on Windows 10 & 11 using TweakShot Screen Capture.
