Best Ways to Download Webpages on Google Chrome

We often have to capture some of the important lines from the webpages while surfing.

Few important lines are used for later purposes.

Even in mobile phones, we takes screenshots for various purposes, similarly we do the same thing in our laptops.

It is even easy to directly get the immediate visible screen on the monitor, but what will you do if you have to take the screenshot of the entire webpage?

Well do not worry because we have come up with three amazing techniques for capturing a long screenshot just as you do in your phone.

This gives you the same look as the original webpage.

The Method Matters: Screenshot vs Printing

Well taking screenshots and printing a webpage is quite different.

In the windows 10, Mac operating system, etc. as well as many other browsers allows you to print a webpage.

This printing of webpage is done in PDF format.

Even the previous versions of windows also allows taking PDF versions of a webpage.

This comes with a built-in feature of printing webpage. In the previous versions of windows, webpages were printed in XPS, which is quite similar to PDF. To print a webpage follow the steps:

1. Click on the customize option on the top-right corner of the google chrome app.
2. Search for the option print and select it or you can simply do this by shortcut keys “CTRL+P”.
3. On doing this a dialog box will open where you have to select the number of pages you want to print along with the type of the printing link PDF format or XPS format.

You might come up with a question that why do we need a screenshot if we can print it in PDF or XPS format?

We have the answer for this question and that it webpage printer is a kind of virtual printer.

Virtual printer is good at some cases but in maximum cases, it fails to print a page with proper originality.

For example, the alignment, the columns, etc. even in case of copyrights you will not be allowed to print the webpage.

Therefore, it is better to take screenshots rather than printing.

It is always better to have screenshots because it provide you with the same look as the original page.

Screenshot does not cause any distortion as it takes pixel-to-pixel resolution.it does not copy the potions of the webpage rather than it captures the potion of the screen.

Taking screenshots is also beneficial rather than printing as it helps you to represent the webpage exactly available on the internet.

Hence, we come up with three different process of taking screenshot of a webpage.

1. Capture a Webpage with a Standalone Screenshot Tool

Whichever device we use it always comes with some build-in features among them one is the screenshot tool.

However, this tool is only capable of capturing a portion of the screen, where the whole webpage is not captured. It is very difficult to get the whole page in one screen using build-in tools for screenshot.

Luckily, we a bunch of third party apps which will help us to take full webpage screenshot without any cropping.

These apps provide you with various other interesting features which I will not disclose, I will leave it on you as a part of discovery.

Below is a small list of app, which you can use for screenshot.

Browser-based tool are completely free and very easy to handle.

You will get a bunch of browser extension tools readily available on the internet, but out of all we would like to refer Nimbus Screenshot.

It is completely free and it supports both Chrome and Firefox browsers.

3. Capture a Webpage with a Web-Based Tool

Well if you have to show your presentation that contains screenshots from internet than it right create an issue of copyright and various others.

In such cases, you cannot use a third-party app or a browser plugin because they do not allow you to take screenshots of copyright articles or phrases.

In such situation try using a web-based tool like Screen-Capture tool at CtrlQ.org or similar tools from Web-Capture.net.
