Web Page Thumbnails is a free software for Windows that can be used to take screenshots of any web page easily. You need to install the program first before it can be started and used.

All that is needed to do to take a screenshot of a website is to load the address in the Web Page Thumbnails interface. You can paste urls into the form or enter them manually. A click on Go loads the web page in the program interface.

You can capture individual pages with a click on the capture button in the interface. Users who want to take screenshots of all web pages that they load in the program can check the Always Capture setting to have the program take screenshots automatically.

The default format png can be changed to jpeg in the main interface as well. Links and other elements of the currently loaded web page are active, a click on a link loads the link target in the program for instance. This makes it very comfortable if multiple pages of the same website need to be recorded.

Users who want a full size screenshot of the web page need to modify the vertical or horizontal size of it in the right sidebar. The size is increased with the up and down cursor keys and not by typing in a different number. The program by default will capture the full scrolling window in the screenshot and not only the visible area.

All screenshots are saved to the My Documents folder. They can be opened there or directly in the program with a click on the Preview all captured images tab.

Web Page Thumbnails is a solid application for users who want to take screenshots of one or multiple web sites. The program could use an option to import a list of web addresses into the application to take screenshots from. It seems to rely on the Internet Explorer rendering engine.

Windows users can download the software from the developer website. The program is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the operating system.

The program is easy to use and there is just one setting that needs to be edited before the program is ready for use. Web Page Thumbnails saves the screenshots in thumbnail format by default. Users who would like a larger resolution need to change the horizontal width from 150 to a larger value.

After that is is just a matter of entering the website address in the url form to load the web page directly in the interface. A click on Capture saves the displayed website manually, an option is provided to always capture web pages that are displayed.

It is possible to navigate the website, links are clickable and the display appears to be accurate as well. Images are saved as png files by default with an option to switch to jpg instead.

The web page screenshots are saved in the My Documents/WebPageThumbnails folder from where they can be accessed.

The captured websites can be accessed in the application as well. A click on Preview All Captured images displays a listing of all pages that have been previously created.

Web Page Thumbnails can be downloaded directly at the developer website. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows.

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.
