ShareX Scrolling Capture: Full-Page Screenshot

Overview

Scrolling capture lets you screenshot an entire webpage, document, or list that extends beyond the visible screen area. ShareX automatically scrolls and stitches multiple captures into a single long image.

How to Capture a Scrolling Screenshot

1. Open the content you want to capture (webpage, PDF, chat window, etc.)
2. Right-click the ShareX tray icon
3. Navigate to Capture > Scrolling capture
4. Click on the window you want to capture
5. ShareX will begin scrolling and capturing automatically
6. Wait for the process to complete — the result appears in the image editor

Alternative Method

1. Open ShareX main window
2. Click Capture > Scrolling capture
3. Select the target window
4. Choose scrolling direction and settings
5. Start the capture

Configuring Scrolling Behavior

Go to Task Settings > Scrolling Capture to adjust:

• Scroll method: Automatic (recommended) or manual control
• Scroll delay: Time between each scroll step (lower = faster)
• Overlap: How much the captures overlap for stitching
• Maximum scroll count: Limit the total number of scrolls
• Trim bottom: Remove any unwanted footer from the result

Tips for Perfect Results

• Switch the target window to fullscreen or maximize it
• Wait for the page to fully load before starting
• Disable smooth scrolling in your browser for better results
• For very long pages, increase the maximum scroll count
• Review the result in the image editor to trim any unwanted areas

Troubleshooting

Capture stops too early: Increase the maximum scroll count in settings.

Duplicate or missing content: Adjust the overlap percentage.

Window not detected: Some applications don't support standard scrolling. Try using region capture and manual scrolling instead.

Uneven stitching: Reduce scroll speed and increase the delay between captures.
