Simple Webpage Capture

Simple Webpage Capture is a standalone software program for the Windows operating system that provides its users with the means to take snapshots of the websites that they visit. The program acts independently of existing web browsers but utilizes the core engine of Internet Explorer to display the websites.

While Firefox users might not even consider reading on as their browser features several add-ons that make it possible to capture complete webpages (for example the excellent Screen Grab) other users might be interested. The user selects the output directory and image format of the screenshots in the main interface. Watermarks can be enabled optionally in the program interface.

A core browser engine will be displayed once the initial settings have been made. It is basically a very down to the core browser with options to load urls and to navigate on those websites. The browser window features a big Take Screenshot button that can be used to instantly take a screenshot of the current website.

Simple Webpage Capture might be a solution for users who want to quickly take screenshots of webpages but do not have Firefox or a browser with full screen capture capabilities installed. Combining the default web browser with screen capture possibilities is however the more natural way.

   Martin, thanks for another nice post. But, as you mentioned, it makes use of IE’s rendering engine. For those Firefox users I made a short comparison of screenshot making possibilities some time ago at German Mozillablog.
