A Scrolling Screenshot, also known as a long screenshot or a full-page screenshot, is a  capture of the entire content of a webpage or computer screen that is longer than the visible area and requires scrolling to view the entire image.

This type of screenshot is useful for capturing an entire page of content without having to stitch multiple screenshots together. Some OS and applications have built-in tools to capture scrolling screenshots, while others may require third-party software or browser extensions.

Why Should You Take Scrolling Screenshots?

You may take scrolling screenshots for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Documenting long webpage or lists of information: 

This can be useful for capturing important information or data that would otherwise require several separate screenshots.

2. Sharing the entire content of a webpage:

A scrolling screenshot can help you share the entire content of a webpage with someone else, without having to share a link.

If you are a designer, a scrolling screenshot can be useful for presenting the entire design of a webpage of a website or app to a client.
