Sometimes you need one chart or one error message, not the whole page. Capture the visible area, or draw a box around what you want.

  1. 1

    Step 1 of 4

    Right-click the icon

    The menu has Capture visible area and Capture selected area.

  2. 2

    Step 2 of 4

    Pick visible area for the screen

    It takes exactly what you see, without scrolling. Shortcut: Alt+Shift+V.

  3. 3

    Step 3 of 4

    Or pick selected area

    The page dims; drag a box over the part you want and let go. Shortcut: Alt+Shift+S. Press Esc to cancel.

  4. 4

    Step 4 of 4

    Trim it later if needed

    In the editor, Crop lets you tighten any capture, including a full page one.

That's it. You're done.
