Ditch the clunky print screen method. Here's how to capture clean, high-quality website screenshots directly inside Canva.
Tired of Clunky Screenshots? There’s a Better Way
If you've ever captured a website using the Print Screen key or a browser extension, you know the drill — awkward cropping, poor resolution, switching between tools. It’s a time sink, especially if you’re trying to make content look polished.
Thankfully, there's a better option: the Website Screenshot app built into Canva. It’s a simple, integrated tool for capturing full-page website screenshots, no extra software required.
Why the Old-School Screenshot Method Falls Short
While "Print Screen" is quick, it's rarely clean:
- Limited control – You often grab too much or too little.
- Blurry or inconsistent output – Depends on your screen resolution.
- Extra editing – Cropping and enhancing take time.
- No scroll support – Can't easily capture long pages.
- No built-in annotations – You'll need another tool for that.
If you're a designer, content creator, or marketer, these drawbacks add friction to your workflow.
