# Scrolling Screenshot — Scrolling screenshot of a whole page on Mac

Capture a whole long page or chat as one tall image: it scrolls by itself and joins the pieces. Part of OneMacTools, 151 private tools in one native Mac app (macOS 26 or later); category: Utilities. Runs on your Mac; nothing is uploaded.

Press ⌃⌥⌘L and click a window: a web page, a chat, a document or a long settings list. It scrolls down by itself, captures as it goes and joins the pieces into one tall picture, keeping sticky headers and footers once instead of repeating them. If two pieces can't be lined up exactly, it stops and saves what it has, so a broken join never ends up in the picture. Saved with your screenshots.

## How to use it
1. **Scroll to where you want to start.** Usually the top of the page or chat.
2. **Press ⌃⌥⌘L.** Or click Start in the tool, or use the menu bar icon's menu.
3. **Click the window.** A bar at the top of the screen shows how tall the picture is so far.
4. **Let it scroll.** It scrolls down by itself and stops at the end. Click Done to stop sooner.
5. **Find the picture.** It's saved with your screenshots, and a thumbnail lets you copy or edit it.

## Options
- **⌃⌥⌘L from anywhere:** On by default. Turn it off if another app uses that shortcut; Scrolling Screenshot stays in the menu bar icon's menu.

## Tips
- Allow OneMacTools under Accessibility so it can scroll by itself; without it, you scroll slowly and click Done.
- Make the window tall: fewer pieces means fewer joins.
- Pages that animate or load more as you scroll can stop the capture early. It keeps what it has rather than joining badly.
- Sticky headers and footers are kept once, at the top and bottom.
- Very long pages stop at 30,000 pixels; capture the rest separately if you need it.

## Questions
**How do I take a scrolling screenshot on a Mac?**
Press ⌃⌥⌘L, click the window, and let it scroll. You get one tall picture of the whole page or chat.

**Does it work in Chrome, Safari and Slack?**
Yes, in any window that scrolls. It captures the window as you see it, so it doesn't depend on the app.

**Why does the header appear only once?**
Rows that stay put while the page moves are recognised as a sticky header or footer and kept once.

**Why did it stop before the end?**
Either the page ended, it reached 30,000 pixels, or two pieces couldn't be lined up exactly, usually because something on the page was animating.

**Do I need Accessibility?**
Only for scrolling by itself. Without it, scroll down slowly while it captures and click Done.

**Is anything uploaded?**
No. Everything happens on your Mac.
