MacOS – Saving a Safari page as a PNG image

macossafarisoftware-recommendation

Is there some way in Safari, possibly via a third-party extension, to save the running contents of a Web page as a PNG image?

I understand I could print the page to PDF and use Preview to export it as a PNG image. However:

  1. I’d prefer not to create a temporary PDF file and then manually open Preview to export the PDF contents to PNG;
  2. I’d like the contents to be running instead of paginated, i.e., no page breaks;
  3. When the PDF file contains multiple pages, Preview seems to export the current page only to PNG.

I don’t have any experience with OS X automation but I suspect it could be used for this, though I want conditions 2 and 3 to be met.

I’m running Safari 5.1.1 on OS X Lion.

Try Paparazzi! It can save the entire website to a single png file and it lets you specify the size. Once installed, you can also launch it from within Safari by adding 'paparazzi:' to the URL. For example paparazzi:http://www.nytimes.com
