Vivaldi has a built-in Capture tool. Click the camera icon in the Status Bar, select Full Page, choose PNG, JPEG, or the clipboard, and click Capture. Full Page captures stop at 30,000 pixels. OpenScreenShot also works in Vivaldi: Vivaldi is a Chromium browser and installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store.

Built-in method

Vivaldi describes the tool in Capture a screenshot.

  1. Open the page you want to capture.
  2. Click the camera icon in the Status Bar. You can also open Quick Commands with F2 on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+E on macOS, and type Capture.
  3. Select Full Page.
  4. Select the output: Save as PNG, Save as JPEG, or Copy to Clipboard.
  5. Click Capture. Saved files go to the folder set under Settings > Webpages > Image Capture > Capture Storage Folder.

Vivaldi can also turn a capture into a new note in the Notes panel, with the capture date and the page URL.

Vivaldi’s keyboard shortcut list shows no default key for page capture. To get one, open Settings > Keyboard and map a key to Capture Page to disk or Capture Page to Clipboard.

Limits

  • Size. Full Page captures go up to 30,000 pixels at most. On a longer page, capture the sections you need.
  • Undocumented behavior. Vivaldi does not document how it builds the full-page image, or how it treats sticky headers. Check the top and the middle of the image for a header that is missing or repeated.
  • Lazy loading. Images marked loading="lazy" load only when you scroll near them. Scroll through the page before you capture it, or parts of the image can stay blank.
  • Inner scroll containers. Developers report that full-page captures in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit show only one screen height of a panel that scrolls inside a fixed-height shell. Vivaldi does not document its behavior here, so check web apps and docs sites with a scrolling content pane.
  • Markup. Vivaldi documents no drawing or markup tools for captures. To add arrows or text, open the file in another app.

With OpenScreenShot

OpenScreenShot scrolls the page one viewport at a time and stitches the parts into one image. Fixed headers are captured once at the top, and pages that scroll an inner element work too. A page taller than 32,000 device pixels is saved as up to six images.

  1. Open the OpenScreenShot listing in Vivaldi and add the extension. Vivaldi covers Chrome Web Store installs in its extensions help.
  2. Pin the OpenScreenShot icon to the toolbar.
  3. Open the page and click the icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+S (⌘⇧S on macOS). With the default settings, a full-page capture starts and the result opens in the editor.
  4. Check the top, the bottom, and any sticky navigation.
  5. Click Save image and choose PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF, or click Copy.

If the icon opens a menu, select Full Page; the One-click Express mode setting controls this. The editor adds arrows, text, step numbers, blur, and crop before you export. The capture mode reference and the export reference list every option.

Which to use

  • Use Vivaldi’s Capture tool for a PNG or JPEG of a page under 30,000 pixels, especially when you want the capture in a note with its URL.
  • Use OpenScreenShot for longer pages, pages that scroll an inner panel, or captures you want to mark up or save as PDF, as in help docs and tutorials or design review.
  • Map a Vivaldi shortcut if you capture often and need no markup.

The Opera guide and the Brave guide cover other Chromium browsers with their own capture tools. For pages that block extensions, such as browser settings, see support and known limitations.
