How to Screenshot a Full Website Without Scrolling on a Samsung Galaxy

For users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, capturing a full website or a long article in a single screenshot can be a highly useful feature, especially when you need to save or share extensive content. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the Scroll Capture feature on your Samsung Galaxy device.

Activating the Screen Capture Toolbar

Before you can use the Scroll Capture feature, you need to ensure that the Screen Capture Toolbar is activated on your device. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings App: Start by opening your app tray and tapping the “Settings” button.
2. Navigate to Advanced Features: Scroll down to the “Advanced features” section.
3. Access Screenshots and Screen Recorder: Tap on “Screenshots and screen recorder.”
4. Enable the Toolbar: On the “Show toolbar after capturing” option, tap the toggle button to switch it to “On.” If your device does not have a recording feature, select “Screen capture” instead.

Taking a Scrolling Screenshot

With the Screen Capture Toolbar activated, you can now proceed to take a scrolling screenshot:

1. Open the Website or Article: Find the website or article that you want to capture. Ensure it is a page that allows scrolling.
2. Take the Initial Screenshot: Press the Power button and the Volume down button simultaneously to take a screenshot.
3. Activate Scroll Capture: Immediately after taking the screenshot, you will see a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Tap the Scroll Capture icon, which is represented by a double down arrow.
4. Automated Scrolling: The screen will automatically scroll down to capture the contents of the next screen. Continue pressing down on the Scroll Capture icon until you have captured the desired portion of the screen.
5. Capture the Bottom of the Screen: To capture the bottom of the screen, long press the Scroll Capture icon.
6. Complete the Screen Capture: To finish the screen capture, press any part of the screen outside of the toolbar. This will save the full screenshot to your gallery.

Additional Notes

• Automatic Scaling: The scroll width ratio is automatically set, but the advance width ratio may vary depending on the page you are capturing, such as embedded players or large images. The screen captures are also automatically scaled down before being saved.
• Editing and Sharing: Once the screenshot is saved, you can edit it using the Photos or Gallery app. You can crop, adjust, mark up, or apply filters to the image before sharing it with others.

By following these steps, you can efficiently capture full websites or long articles on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone, making it easier to save and share content without the need for multiple screenshots.
