Would be great for the Size Presets to include iPads and iPhones. I often need those sizes for responsive web design.

Haven't found better for taking screenshots of webpages even when they span several pages down.

Great

Magical!

Love it! I just wish it would have a cropping tool as well as the ability to cut pdfs into pages.

Doing about the same job as Web Snapper for free is great. One flaw, though, is it can't cut pdfs into pages — It would actually be nice to also cut other formats into pages, but AFAIK neither Web Snapper does that.

I love this app! I don't know why -- I rarely need to take a screen capture of a web page. But here's the thing: When I do, Paparrazi does it, and does it well! It seems like it's the "missing screenshot" utility that ought to be present in every browser, but isn't. Thanks, Nate!

1.0b7 crashes immediately upon opening it (MacOS 10.12.6). I had to revert back to 1.0b6.

Great app, really useful. If only it could add a simple crop tool to throw all side ads away, I will be in heaven.

... kind of funny that this application is since years still in its "beta" state and at the same time - also since years - working so wunderfully well. Thanks again to Nate Weaver!

Wonderful utility with all sorts of applications for designers and artists as well as people evaluating web designs and proposals. Works great.

Thank you so very much, Mr Weaver. Your app has a feature that few others have . . . . an entire web page shot, top to bottom! Thank you for your giving spirit!

Great tool. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Finally, an update of this great tool!

Awesome free tool I was looking for. Now making screenshots has become more convenient than ever before. It is very helpful and simple. Still works good on Sierra.

Listing should update in the near future; when I submitted it said "up to 10 days". :/

Seems to be working well with Sierra and certainly more reliable than most web browsers for accurately exporting a PDF of a web page. Something useful would be a browser extension that allows you to export via Paparazzi, perhaps as a share menu option in Safari.

He's dead, Jim. Paparazzi hasn't been updated in well over 3 years. I was having an issue with it and the developer never responded to my support request.

Excellent little tool, very full featured, allows you to interact with the web page - and therefore log in to sites that require it - before taking your screenshot. Has multiple standard viewport sizes built-in, and allows you to enter custom ones, so you can take shots of webpages at any arbitrary size. A very *big* con, however, is that pages that have a top section that take up the entire height of the browser window do not display correctly. Paparazzi seems to report the viewport height as being the height of the entire rendered page, so the screenshot comes out showing only the top section, stretched out to fill the entire page... This problem can be seen on this page: http://html5up.net/uploads/demos/fractal/ I hope Paparazzi is still being developed, and that this will get fixed. It's a very promising tool.

Great app for making screenshots! Much more easier than pressing 3 keys at the same time. Enjoyed it.

Worked fine with 10.10.2 but with 10.10.3 it crashes a few seconds after launching.

Does not work for all web pages, particularly those designed to not be saved. SnapWeb works a lot better, although it's not cheap, let alone free.

Well, was good but now 9 times out of ten when loading sites it just hangs on OS X Mavericks - shame but it doesn't seem to be fully compatible.

Works very well! Thank You! Puzzles me that neither Safari nor Firefox lets one save a webpage as a gap-less pdf.

Awesome app. Tks dev. :)

Paparazzi is perfect -- clean, simple, and totally free. Bravo!

Works great!

Simply terrific. Thanks to Nate Weaver!

Batch only saves as .png in 0.6b4 (Lion 10.7.4)! Works fine in Version 0.5b6 (222), so if you need PDFs, get that version. Otherwise, it's nearly perfect. Thanks!

Thanks for the great app! Works well in Mountain Lion.

Works fine in Lion!

Save button not working; hence useless under Lion

Best app for making full web page snapshots. You can even interact with the page, to get just the right visual for the screenshot. It hasn't been updated in ages, but seems to work fine on Lion 10.7

This is great software: Easy to use, plain simple and to the point, gets the job done. Essential features, nothing missing, not too much. Wonderful! Thank you dear developer! Works fine for me in Snow Leopard 10.6.1 as well.

Superb product. How about a menubar thingey? Love to have it right there!

It's actually "0.5b6", and I should have put up a note to not post this on MU/VT/etc. The deed's been done, though.

Very nice app, awesome that it's free. Works pretty much flawlessly. I discovered that sometimes when it doesn't quite get the picture you want (since it has to actually load the url you give it again, and sometimes it loads differently in the paparazzi window), there is a trick. 1) save the webpage that you want it to take a snapshot of as a webarchive. a) I only know how to do this in Safari, all you do is press command+S, and save it to your desktop as a web archive. easy. 2) open up the web archive in safari, and copy the location (it will be something like "file:///Users/Desktop/blah.webarchive") 3) put that location in the paparazzi URL box, and it will load exactly what you saved as a web archive. I hope that somebody finds this tip helpful! It's a great app!

*truncated articles when saved as a pdf* Apparently there is a limitation on the size of a page that may be captured when saving in pdf format. For example, the following page will look fine in the preview pane, but will be truncated in the final output: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/117/features-message-in-a-bottle_Printer_Friendly.html I only just noticed this bug, and looking through my archives, I see that I have a bunch of incomplete pdf files. ack.

NEARLY PERFECT CONSUMER is absolutely right. If the developer would add the two features he suggested, this application would be perfect and the best of it's kind.

A fine application that I use often. Some things I would like to see: 1. An updated crop feature; it currently confuses me. Personally, I would like to select what I want saved/croppped in the preview window, because I am not very good at the guessing currently required. 2. A way to automatically add the captured webpage url to the file details / spotlight comments section. 'Tis handy to know whence I grabbed the webpage. thanks for sharing this application!

There's a beta of 0.5 up on the site now, at http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/Paparazzi!%200.5b3.dmg . Beta because the help files aren't done and some things need to be tweaked, but if you've been having issues with 0.4.3 or want to use batching or Automator stuff, there it is. It won't work on 10.3.9, though; it crashes on startup (I fixed one crash and had it crash again, in another place, so I decided I should at least put something out for the 10.4 people :/).

I found this app. to work very well and exactly as advertised. Thumbs up!

It would be great if a greater pixel value of 16,000 was available (more-so on the length, than the width). At the moment, I can't capture a website, because it is falling short by around 1,000 pixels. I've tried varying the width, to compensate text-wrapping, but I still can't manage to get it within the 16,000 maximum value. Can this be fixed to a much higher value? Other than this, I just cannot stress enough how absolutely GREAT this application is! It's exactly what I've been looking for, for such a long time. Thank you, onlyone-jc.

Cool program - but it needs to work with PithHelmet. Ideally it would actually load the page in Safari and capture what Safari's rendering, so font preferences/user style sheets/ad blockers work the same as they do in the browser - otherwise it's not capturing what I see.

Brilliant ! Absolutely brilliant !!!

This app is just awesome: so Mac, so perfect. Thank you!

It would be great if the image could be saved to an online image hosting site like ImageShack or TinyPic. :D

This is a great app. Very useful, and works like a charm. As a future enhancement, scheduling would be a cool feature, i.e you could tell the app to take a snapshot of a certain page at a certain time each day or each week, and automatically put it in a specified place or even put it in an iPhoto album. Of course, I can't ask too much with this being a free app! Thanks!

Wonderful program. Its small and very useful. I can capture ANY website without having to be on the website. X3

If you're running 0.4.3 and it keeps pestering you about a new version, please re-download it. Xcode wasn't copying over the changed Info.plist for some reason. (Oops.)

This is a note to say thank you for a WONDERFUL, USEFUL, and easy to use program-that I've already added to my Startup Login prefs!! What a imagnative idea! I believe this application has many wonderful uses I haven't even begin to think of yet! Thank you from someone who has almost no money to spend for Mac programs (I'm disabled and live on a small pension). I don't know if you can appreciate what something like this means to someone like me who loves the Mac-but who can seldom afford to buy the great programs that creative developers like you make available. This is a program that I would have wanted to BUY-and I would probably have found the money for it. But making it available for free..well....nuff said ;-) Max

Just gets better and better. Invaluable for archiving and portfolio snapshots.

Excellent little utility - thank you very much!

I love the app, but it could be a bit more relaxed for "bad ssl certs".

Oh, this is really awesome... But, if the site requires a login, you get a screenshot of the login page instead of what's behind it, even if you already logged in with your browser.

Absolutely lovely, but it'd be even better if it were accessible through the Services menu.

. Hmmm...I like this app because it is simple...but sadly it doesn't seem to work well with pages that display Flash images. And that's what I need. =(

A small and simple app, that concentrates on doing one thing - and does it well. No bloat, no fuss, just quick and simple grabs. Version 0.3 is a real move forward, with the new launch-and-grab-by-favelet feature being a particular favourite. Great stuff!

Worked great on a window that was 800 x 21,190 pixels. The URL was: http://home.earthlink.net/~gardenphotos/rhodyho.html and it came out perfect. Great utility.

A more professional tool with much more features is SnapWeb. Get it here... http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12593

Awsome, but why does the Capture button not do what the 'Capture URL from Safari' in the dock icon does?

Small, simple, fast and sleek. Does exactly what it says on the box. Perfect!

This program is very useful and works great. I havent had it hang up at all on loading pages. Thanks

Since it does not have a build in browser, I cannot navigate sites that require login. For eg. I want to it to snap my administration area of my blog, but i cannot do that. NO snapz pro is not an option cause it cannot do scrollable webpages. I have to take multiple snapshots and stich them together

Very good. Just perfect. Thanks you.

wow...awesome.

Great app. The developer seems to be very responsive, since earlier today I reported a bug in other website and he is already releasing a fix. Unfortunately I have a problem: there are sites (www.macupdate.com, for example) that keep Paparazzi's progress bar going and going, but nothing happens. It just hangs. Other websites (http://discussions.info.apple.com) render fast and with no problem. I do not have problems accessing any of them using Safari or other browser. Other than that, the app works fine.

Very slick and useful little utility. And 30 min after I reported that 0.2.1 was crashing on launch it was fixed.

Can't even tell if this is good or bad if it keeps on crashing right at the start. Maybe I should say, "It never starts". Or I should say that your software didn't do anything wrong coz it DIDN'T DO ANYTHING at all. Will it get better or worse? Wake up man!!! Don't waste your time and others too.

Crashes also here with 10.4.2 :-(

It keeps crashing, cannot even launch on my iBook running 10.3.9 :(

Crashes on launch on my 10.3.9 system. Ver 0.2 still runs OK.

Hi, I've just (last week) taken over development duties for Paparazzi!, and as such the project page has moved to http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/ . Also, I released version 0.2 (yesterday). --Wevah (Nate Weaver)

I found the new home of Paparazzi! It's here: http://johansorensen.com/projects/paparazzi/

Looks like the site has gone down and paranoidfish (the maker of webkit2png) has had problems too. Anyone know of any alternative sources for either Paparazzi! or webkit2png?

Fantastic. It crashes every time I quit the app, but when it's active it works beautifully.

Perfect for what it does. Very useful if you design web pages and want to keep track of sites for design inspiration.

ScreenCatcher (Classic), used to do this for a fee. So, it's great that Paparrazzi is being offered as freeware. It works great! Thanks to the author.

great, thanks heaps. I am a webmaster and I sometimes need to send screenshots of a website concept to people, but not send the code (obviously, as they will steal it) but I love it. Its simple and works a treat. Havn't seen anything like it, and do you have to pay for it?? i will if you want! THANK YOU!!!!!!!! its people like you that make the more complicated things in life more easy. Hope that makes you sleep better at night... :)

Most people probably wouldn't think about a program like this. I've needed to take screenshots of whole web pages before, and this makes it really easy and convenient.
