Ever tried the built-in full-page screenshot and got just one screen? Scroll Capture fixes that. One tap in Safari, the page scrolls by itself, and you get the whole thing as a single image — including pages that scroll inside a box, where the built-in option stops short. Pages too long for one image are saved at full quality as several images (or as a PDF) instead of being scaled down. WHY SCROLL CAPTURE • Works where the built-in full-page screenshot doesn't: chat conversations, app-style sites, dashboards, and any page whose content scrolls inside a frame • Also great for long articles, feeds, receipts and order histories • Fixed headers, floating toolbars and cookie banners are detected and removed, so they don't repeat in every segment • Segments are matched pixel by pixel, so seams line up cleanly • You get an image (PNG or JPEG), not a PDF — easy to share, mark up and paste anywhere HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the page in Safari 2. Tap the extension button in the address bar and choose Scroll Capture 3. Tap "Capture full page" — the page scrolls automatically 4. Tap "Save / Share" and choose "Save Image" PRIVACY Everything happens on your device. Pages you capture are never uploaded, and the extension doesn't collect any data. No account, no sign-in, no ads. NOTES • Pages that load content endlessly (infinite feeds) are captured up to a reasonable length • Works on iPhone and iPad with Safari on iOS 15.6 or later One-time purchase. No subscription.
