SnapWeb is a snapshot and archiving utility for web content.

The output isn't scattered to multiple pages or scaled down unless it is unreadable. The resulting images can be saved in different file formats or copied to the system clipboard. In addition SnapWeb can save web pages as resolved HTML data or it can extract human readable text from web pages.

Normally when I want to capture a web page, I simply print to PDF. As simple as that is, there are times when -- as neutralzone points out -- the PDF does not render properly or a stylesheet defines different styles for printed output. Also, Mac OS X's Save as PDF feature paginates the the output, something not generally suitable for web pages, unless you "first set up a sufficiently long custom paper size" (how long is that?).
(Thanks to nga for pointing out the Export PDF command in Saft, which gives you an unpaginated PDF. I keep forgetting all of the incredibly useful features in this Safari plug-in.)
Paparazzi is great for many people. Give it a URL, press Capture, and save the loaded web page as one of several image formats along with an optional thumbnail. What if you need to log into a web site to see a particular page, though? Here's where it gets a little tedious, because it is first necessary to browse to the page in Safari and authenticate, then load the page in Paparazi.
SnapWeb, however, "has a full-featured browser interface for easy navigation without typing URLs," meaning you can navigate a web site without using another browser.
Speaking of another browser, SnapWeb will capture the current Firefox page in addition to the current Safari page. Paparazzi will only capture from Safari. Also, SnapWeb supports opening of local HTML files through drag-and-drop, contextual "Open With", and a File > Open command.
Paparazzi's four image formats (JPEG, PDF, PNG, TIFF) may be sufficient for many, but some people will want the additional formats that SnapWeb provides -- GIF and PSD -- and may like to save as HTML or text or even to the the clipboard.
SnapWeb offers finer control over the image size. SnabWeb allows multiple windows. Images can be saved by SnapWeb in quick succession to a user-selected folder with incrementing filenames. And, with a professional license ($39.90), SnapWeb can be activated by AppleScript, a Services Menu item, or Unix shell scripts, for serious automation power.
The only complaint I have with SnapWeb is actually the developer's claim of "exactly [sic] timing of animation and movie snapshots (e.g. web pages with Flash, WMV, Real or Quicktime)." In my tests, I could not rely on SnapWeb to capture the video frame I was viewing when I clicked Save. However, this is still an improvement over Paparazzi, which captures the web page only as it is first loaded, not at some point later when animation or video has changed.
If you want a free alternative to saving web pages and don't need the features SnapWeb provides, then by all means use Paparazzi. Don't mistake SnapWeb as something that "does exactly the same," though: its additional features are well worth the price for someone that needs them.

Download "Paparazzi!" here on macupdate.com, It's free, lets you save in any format you want, select resolution, and even set defaults for how the file gets name.. It's not a universal binary but EVEN in rosetta EMULATION IT RUNS FASTER than SnapWeb on my macbook pro
Paparazzi, get it, it is free!

Also, some web pages render very badly to PDF, with misaligned layouts or controls (buttons etc). This is another case where a straight screen shot can be a more precise representation of the page.
Basically I use either Safari Stand plug-in, which adds an "Export to PDF" context menu so you can bypass the Print dialog, or Paparazzi. What seems unnecessary? Paying for SnapWeb.

I've tried SnapWeb, Paparazzi, and Shiira, and none of them will copy/save an image of anything but the first screen of the web pages I want to image, and none of them seems to have any provision or preference for specifying imaging of the whole page.
They all open the URL just fine (better than Camino or Safari, actually) but the images they produce are all just screen shots. Could this be because I'm trying to save images of secure (https://) pages?
Thanks,
Bob
