How to capture a website

  1. Open the editor.
  2. Under Or capture a website, type the address. You can leave out https://.
  3. Tick Mobile if you want the phone layout. Otherwise you get the desktop layout.
  4. Press Capture. The page opens in a browser frame with its address in the address bar.
  5. Choose a frame style and background, then export.

The capture is the first screen of the page, the part a visitor sees before scrolling. That is usually what you want for a mockup; a full-length page is very tall and shrinks to unreadable when framed.

The capture runs on a server that loads the page as a first-time visitor, so it can’t see anything behind a login, local addresses like localhost, or sites that block automated browsers.

When to capture the page yourself

Your own browser can capture things the online tool can’t. Take the screenshot yourself, then drop it into the editor, when you need:

Frequently asked questions

Does it capture the full page?

No, it captures the first screen. For the full length, use your browser’s built-in capture; the full-page screenshot guide shows where it is in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.

Can I capture localhost or a staging site?

Not with the online capture, because the server can’t reach it. Use the browser extension or take a screenshot and drop it into the editor.

Why did the capture fail?

Usually the address is mistyped, the site took too long to load, or it blocks automated browsers. Check the address and try again, or capture it yourself.

Is the captured page saved anywhere?

No. The screenshot is sent back to your browser and isn’t stored on the server.
