How to use this free webpage screenshot tool url2jpeg
This tool is easy to understand and use. There are five main tabs in this software- Navigation, Capture, Scripting, Settings and About. When you launch this software, by default it will open the Navigation tab for you.
To capture a screenshot, follow the below steps:
- STEP 1: Launch url2jpeg and type in the address of the webpage that you wish to capture.

You can remove scrollbars, toggle the Auto Resize function on or off, set the Initial Size manually or select from the drop down. The manual entries can be made in the boxes for height and width that accompany. Click the Capture Bitmap button to save the screen capture.
- STEP 2: When you click the Capture Bitmap button, the capture tab will automatically open up. Inside the Capture tab, there will be several options.
