Scrolling Capture

Default hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+7

Scrolling capture is built for content that's taller than your screen — long web pages, chat threads, documents, or settings panels. Savvyshot selects a region, then automatically scrolls through it and stitches the results into one tall image.

How to use it

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+7 (or trigger Capture Scrolling Area from the home window or tray menu).
2. Draw a selection rectangle around the scrollable area you want to capture (similar to region capture).
3. Release to start. Savvyshot shows a progress indicator while it:
   • Captures the visible portion of the selected area.
   • Scrolls the target window/area down.
   • Captures again, detects the overlap with the previous capture, and stitches the two together.
   • Repeats until it reaches the end of the scrollable content.

After capturing

The stitched result opens in the editor, or in a floating preview window if Show preview after taking screenshot is enabled.

Permissions (macOS)

Scrolling capture needs the operating system's cooperation to scroll the target window and read its content, so on macOS you must grant:

• Screen Recording — to read the window's content.
• Accessibility — to programmatically scroll the target window.

If these aren't granted, Savvyshot will prompt you on first use. Grant them under System Settings → Privacy & Security, then restart the app. See Installation for details.

Tips

• Works best with standard scroll containers (web pages, document viewers, chat apps). Highly custom or virtualized scroll areas may not stitch perfectly.
• If the capture stops early, try selecting a slightly smaller region that stays fully within the scrollable area.
