Full Page Browser Capture Firefox Extension

Posted by Lena on February 2nd, 2010

Page Saver is a must-have firefox extension for anyone who does research on the web, including user experience professionals, visual designers & artists, product managers, and anyone else who takes screenshots of webpages for inspiration.

It’s a huge upgrade from Apple’s native Grab application. Rather than simply taking a snapshot of what’s visible on your screen, Page Saver captures the entire contents of the firefox browser tab as a png or jpg with the click of a button. The basic version of the extension provides a ton of custom options for free, and a few more in their Pro version.

For my purposes, the free version works like a charm. Below is a comparison chart to help you determine which version you might need.

    There’s also the “Screengrab!” plugin which is useful :)

    neat! Now we just need one for chrome so I don’t have to even launch the bloated Firefox :)

  3. David G. Paul Says:

    there’s one called “Aviary Screen Capture”, but I’ve not tried it

    I wonder if that’s made by the same folks who did the in-browser photo editor with the same name.
