PNG Image

Save any web page as a PNG image with Web Snapper — a universal screenshot for sharing a visual or pasting into a doc, with your annotations baked in.

Sometimes you don't need a document — you just need a picture. Web Snapper's PNG export gives you a plain image of the page that opens anywhere, pastes anywhere, and needs no special reader. It's the simplest export, and for a lot of everyday captures it's exactly the right one.

Export a page as PNG

A web page captured as a PNG image by Web Snapper
A plain PNG — a faithful picture of the page, ready to share or paste.
  1. Open the page you want to capture.
  2. Click the Web Snapper icon.
  3. Choose the PNG format.
  4. Pick a capture mode if needed, then save the image.

You can grab a full-page shot, a selected region, or just the visible area — whichever you choose, PNG captures it as one clean image. Any highlights, annotations, and redactions you added on the page are baked right into the picture.

When PNG is the right choice

PNG shines when the goal is to show something rather than reuse it:

  • Sharing a visual — drop it into a chat, an email, or a ticket and the recipient sees it instantly, with nothing to open or convert.
  • Pasting into a doc — slides, reports, and design files all take an image directly.
  • A quick, faithful snapshot — when you just want a picture of how the page looked, exactly as it looked.

When another format fits better

A PNG is a picture, so its text can't be selected or searched, and its layout can't be edited. Reach for a different format when that matters:

  • Searchable PDF — when you need selectable, searchable text, clickable links, or a printable document.
  • Single-file HTML — when you want a faithful, fully offline copy of the page you can reopen years later.
  • Markdown — when the page is headed for your notes and you want editable text with real images.
