• Member-only content areas
• Authenticated web pages
• Login-required sections of websites

Your login credentials are used only for authentication and are immediately deleted after the screenshot is taken - we never store your passwords.

We capture the complete full page, not just the visible viewport. Our tool automatically scrolls through the entire webpage and captures everything from top to bottom, including content that requires scrolling to see. This ensures you get a complete, accurate representation of the entire webpage in your PDF or image.

Yes! Our advanced rendering technology captures JavaScript-rendered content perfectly. We wait for all JavaScript to execute and for the page to fully load before capturing.

Our tool works with all modern web browsers - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, and Opera. It's a web-based service, so you don't need to install any software. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices. Simply open our website in any browser and start converting.

URLs must be 100 characters or less. We can convert any publicly accessible website. Some restrictions apply:

• Websites with authentication can be converted using our Required Login feature
• Websites with special security measures or CAPTCHA may not be accessible
• Very large pages may take longer to process
• Websites that block automated access may not work

Conversion time depends on several factors:

• Page complexity: JavaScript-heavy pages or complex web apps take longer
• Page size: Very long pages with lots of content require more time
• Images: Pages with many high-resolution images take longer to load
• Network speed: Slow-loading external resources can delay conversion

If a page is taking unusually long, wait a bit longer as complex pages may need more time to fully load.

If you encounter an error, try these solutions:

• Verify the URL is correct and accessible
• Check if the website requires login - use our Required Login feature
• Try again after a few moments - the website might be temporarily unavailable
• Ensure the URL is 100 characters or less
• Check if the website blocks automated access

If problems persist, the website may have security measures that prevent automated access.

If content is missing, it's usually due to:

• Lazy loading: Content that loads on scroll may not appear - ensure page is fully scrolled
• JavaScript delays: Dynamic content may need more time to load
• External resources: Some external images or fonts may not load
• Authentication: Protected content requires the Required Login feature

For best results with complex pages, ensure all content has loaded before conversion.
