Adobe Air is obviously required to install and run WebKut and I’m slowly but steadily discovering new exciting Adobe Air applications that change my initial view about the application engine.

WebKut displays the websites in its own browser window and it is possible to navigate websites or use search engines for instance. I was not able to find any limitations yet and all capture requests that I started completed successfully with virtually no delay. Capturing the Ghacks homepage created a 1044×2800 jpg image with a size of 2.5 Megabytes.

The output format can be changed in the program’s options. Available are the two image formats jpg and png plus the Adobe PDF format. The image ratio and image quality can also be defined there. The ratio defines the width and heights in proportion to the original website, a ratio of 50 would reduce the width and height by 50%.

The main problem of WebKut is that it is not integrated in the browser. It’s far more comfortable to capture a website in the browser directly than to use an Adobe Air application, unless you are a masterful copy and paste user.
