Screenshot of entire webpage (localhost)

Question

I'm having a HTML file on my localhost and I want a screenshot of the entire page. Does anyone know some software that screenshots the entire page (localhost)? I found some plugins but they don't support localhost files.

I'm having the same issue here, don't know why no one has responded your question yet :/ — Eduardo A. Fernández Díaz, Jan 28 '17 at 07:13

Press “PrtSc” on Windows or “Command+Shift+3/4” on Mac will just take screenshots of visible parts on the screen. To take a screenshot of an entire page, you can make use of some screenshot extensions. For Safari, Awesome Screenshot is a good choice. For Chrome, there are multiple snapshot extensions, such as Nimbus, Webpage Screenshot, Diigo and so on. Hope this helps.

I'm not that dumb .. Like I stated above; "I want a screenshot of the entire page". So the entire page,not the visible part. Anyway, I found a Chrome plugin called "Webpage screenshot" and it does the job. (also locally) – jjj Aug 20 '13 at 20:18

For Windows:

Press the 'Print Screen' key on the upper right of your keyboard.

For Mac

For a drag screenshot

command + Shift + 4

For just a window's contents

command + Shift + 4 then spacebar

For Linux

Check accessories if your distro supports it

If you are using plugins or extensions such as Awesome Screenshot (Chrome), you need to access the local website from a local environment (Recommended: WAMP for Windows, MAMP for Mac and Xamp for Linux).

If you access the local website directly, you won't be able to take a whole screenshot. This is probably because the plugins or extensions do a request that cannot be answered without an environment.

I guess it's too late to reply, yet for those who are looking up,

Firefox browser has inbuilt screenshot option, Rightclick on the webpage, there is option for taking a section or full webpage.

For chrome or safari you can check out extensions like FullPageCapture etc.

Install "Screen Capture (by Google)" - extension. It works fine for live websites. But when it comes to localhost, for some reason it doesn't work. So, I found that if you install the same extension on Microsoft edge based on chromium engine, it works fine for localhost HTML5 files.
