Save Unlimited Websites as Images
There are several reasons why you may want to save websites as images. I'm mainly thinking about saving them for documentation purposes like presentations, or for displaying changes in a website over time similar to what archive.org does with their snapshots of websites.
The major advantage of Webswoon over other products is that it can process an unlimited number of websites that have been added to the queue, and that it is highly configurable. This is different from the majority of applications out there, as they usually do not come with queue functionality.
You may want to start with the configuration before you start capturing images of websites. I started with the capturing immediately and realized that the default output size for images was set to a width of 150 which is not very useful because almost no details of the website are visible in this resolution. I decided to check the options after this initial test only to find out that Webswoon has a lot of options that allow you to configure nearly every aspect of the capturing process.
Tip: Check out these website downloading services and programs as well:
- Rip Websites with HTTrack Website Copier
- Download Websites With Fresh WebSuction
- Download Websites With FireMirror
- Mirror Websites on your Hard Drive
- View websites offline with WebHTTrack
The configuration offers three tabs, Program, Browser and Captures. The most important options can be configured in the Browser and Captures tab. You can select to open a browser window with the website that you want to take a image from, define its width and height and select if you want to display error messages if the website displays them.
You can select to resize the image of the browser window, remove scrollbars and other elements and select the format that you want the website to be saved in.
This is also a great way to test your websites in various resolutions without changing the resolution of your monitor in your computer.
Update: The author's website is no longer available, which also means that Webswoon is not available for download anymore.
We have uploaded the latest beta version of the program to our own download server. Keep in mind though that the program is no longer maintained by its author, and that you are on your own should you run into any troubles using it.
You can download the latest version of WebSwoon with a click on the following link: WebSwoon





Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
