WebKut – Capture Web Pages with Ease!

If you are creating a resource or list page, there might be a need to take screen shots of websites. For example, look at my post titled “17 Tools to Secure a Great Domain Name”, in this post I had to list a number of websites and provide a screen shot for each site. Taking all 17 screen shots using Print Screen and editing them in a program like GIMP or MS Paint will be a very tedious task.

To improve my productivity, I used an Adobe Air application called WebKut that really saved me a lot of time and effort in taking the screen shots. When you launch WebKut on your PC you will realize this application functions like a web browser and you can go to a web page by simply entering the URL. Once the webpage is loaded in WebKut you can take a screen shot of that page by simply pressing a button. You have the option to take a screen shot of the entire web page or the visible portion of that web page or a custom selected area in the web page. Once you take a screen shot of you web page you can save it to your local folder. The whole process of taking a screen shot and saving it as an image file can be achieved in few key strokes.

WebKut provides a settings panel where you can specify the image file type, the image quality and the default output directory where the image will be stored. I really like the default directory feature since I do not have to manually select the local folder each time to save an image.
