All-in-one free screengrab tool Grabilla has been updated to version 1.23 with the ability to capture scrolling windows.

This is ideal if you need to capture a long web page or other document. There’s no need to take and edit multiple grabs, as the program should handle everything for you.

These captures are a little more complex to set up than with some of the competition; you can’t just click on a window and leave Grabilla to scroll this itself.

A new “Scroll Capture” type grabs the contents of some scrolling windows

Here you must draw a freehand rectangle within the window and scroll it manually. Grabilla apparently takes multiple grabs as you scroll and stitches everything together when you stop.

Does it work? We tried this out with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Word 2013 on a Windows 8.1 system and it produced full-length captures with no problem at all.

We had no luck with Adobe Reader, though, a significant issue as we’d expect a lot of users will want to capture scrolling PDFs.

We were also unable to capture scrolling graphics in Paint.NET, or documents where we scrolled horizontally.

Scrolling captures still need some work, then, but if you’re mainly interested in grabbing web pages or office documents then the program already works well, and of course it has plenty of other features too: still captures, video screen recording with audio, capture to animated GIFs, image annotations, easy sharing online.

Grabilla 1.23 is available now for Windows XP and later.
