-o capture.mp4How to record a page scrolling
A screen recorder captures your window, cursor and notifications along with the page. This records the page itself, at a size you choose, on a machine that has nothing else open.
- 1
Paste the address of the page
The page is loaded and given time to settle — fonts, images and animations — before the recording starts, so the first frame is not a half-painted layout.
- 2
Pick the file you want back
MP4 for a README or a landing page, WebM where the browser prefers it, animated GIF for a chat or an email that will not play video.
- 3
Run it and watch the scroll
Eight seconds, eased so the movement reads as deliberate rather than jerky, scrolling to the bottom of the document and back to the top.
- 4
Download it, or take the API call
The recording is the same file the API returns for these parameters. The API accepts 1 to 30 seconds, plus control over the step size, the easing and where the scroll stops.
Questions
- Is this the same as a long screenshot?
- No — this one moves. A long or scrolling screenshot on a phone is a single tall image, and the Full Page Screenshot tool is the one that makes that. Use this when you want the scrolling itself: a video or GIF for a README, a demo or a changelog entry.
- How long can the recording be?
- This tool fixes it at 8 seconds. The API accepts 1 to 30, plus control over step size, easing and where the scroll stops.
- Is there audio?
- No. Page captures are silent by definition — there is nothing playing to record.
Need this in your own code?
This tool is one call to the PageCapture API. The free plan gives you 100 captures a month with every feature unlocked, and no card.
