But what if you want to take a snapshot of only a certain area of a website, and then add some annotations to it? Then your only option would probably be searching for a software tool that meets your requirements&#8230; or simply using <a href=\"http:\/\/aviary.com\/launch\/talon\"><strong>Talon<\/strong><\/a>, one of the latest tools released by the powerful <a href=\"http:\/\/onsoftware.en.softonic.com\/aviary-full-featured-online-graphic-suite-for-free\/\">online image suite Aviary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Talon can be used in three different ways. The first and most obvious method is heading to the <a href=\"http:\/\/aviary.com\/launch\/talon\">Talon website<\/a> straight away and enter the URL of the website you want to capture. You can choose the screen resolution, image quality and captured region &#8211; meaning you can take a screenshot of the whole website, and not just the portion that&#8217;s actually visible in the browser&#8217;s window.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2009\/07\/talon01.png\" alt=\"The easiest way to take a screenshot of a website\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second way to use Talon requires installing <a href=\"http:\/\/aviary.com\/install\/firefox\"><strong>Talon&#8217;s special plug-in for Firefox<\/strong><\/a>. This plug-in adds a new button to the top toolbar that enables you to take a snapshot of the website you&#8217;re currently visiting. You can choose to capture a specific region on the web page, capture the visible portion in your browser or take a screenshot of the whole website from top to bottom.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2009\/07\/talon02.png\" alt=\"The easiest way to take a screenshot of a website\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last and probably quickest way to use Talon is by simple adding &#8220;Aviary.com\/&#8221; in front of the URL you want to capture. So, if you want to take a screenshot of Softonic, all you would have to do is type\u00a0 <strong><code>Aviary.com\/http:\/\/en.softonic.com<\/code><\/strong> directly in your browser&#8217;s web address field. When using this last trick, Talon will launch with the screenshot already loaded and ready to be edited. Now it&#8217;s time for you to start inserting lines and arrows to highlight certain areas, use the Text tool to add a personal note or grab the brush to do some sketches directly on the captured image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2009\/07\/talon03.png\" alt=\"The easiest way to take a screenshot of a website\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capturing whatever is on your screen at a given moment can be as easy as pressing the PrtScr key.
