People have different ways of saving websites that are in one way or another, inspiring to them. Some will bookmark, some will save a current image of what the site looks like, and others will regret never bookmarking that site when it comes to mind a few months later.
RealMac Software has come up with a solution to your unorganized image woes. LittleSnapper (Mac only) allows you to snap a certain section you need, or snap an entire webpage that you are currently viewing. You don’t even need to leave your browser–you can do it all using the commands available to you through it. You also have the ability to tag your images. So you remember all those logos you saved? Now you won’t have to worry about sifting through your lolcats to find your logo snaps.
You also have the ability to add text, lines, shapes, highlighting and more to your images. Don’t fret about having all that markup on it, LittleSnapper allows you to hide it easily, as it’s markup additions are non-destructive.
Not a Mac user? You have some alternatives you can try out although nothing to the extent of LittleSnapper (that we’ve been able to find.) There are few options that give you the capability that LittleSnapper can. Some will perform a few of the actions, where others won’t. Our closest alternative to Windows can be done a couple of different ways.
If you’re looking for an easy way to save the current page you’re viewing and you’re using Firefox you can take advantage of an add-on that’s available for it. Abduction! allows you to take a screenshot of the page you’re viewing–whether you want a portion or 100% height/width of it, you can chose. From there you can either save it to your desktop in organized folders, or you can take advantage of some webapps.
Scrnshots.com allows you to add screenshots you take to your profile and tag them. Not only that but it gives other members the chance to comment on them, or even add them to their own favorites list. They also provide an upload utility that gives you the ability to upload your images without having to go to their website; The only downfall is that it’s currently not a batch-uploader. So if you’ve got hundreds (or maybe thousands) of images, it might not be the quickest for you. Flickr can also be used as you can create sets, and tag your images too.
