Scrolling Capture

Capture an entire scrollable page or document in one stitched image.

How to Use

1. Start an area capture (default ⌘⇧2 on macOS / Ctrl+Shift+3 on Windows)
2. Drag to select the scrollable region
3. Click the Scroll button in the capture overlay (or press the shortcut)
4. Scroll the content naturally — hypershot automatically stitches frames together
5. Click Done when you’ve captured everything you need

The result is a single tall image combining all the visible portions as you scrolled.

How It Works

hypershot captures frames at ~8 Hz and uses pixel-level alignment to stitch them into a seamless image. As you scroll, each new frame is matched against the previous one and appended to the growing stitched result.

Live Preview

While scrolling, a real-time preview of the stitched image is shown in the capture overlay so you can see exactly what you’re getting.

Status Feedback

The capture HUD shows a status indicator during scrolling:

Status	Meaning
🟢 Capturing	Frames are being stitched successfully
🟡 No New Content	No scroll detected — try scrolling more
🟡 Reached End	You may have reached the bottom of the content
🔴 Too Fast	Scrolling too quickly for the stitcher to align frames
🔴 Size Limit	Hit the maximum image height your GPU supports

Tips for Best Results

• Scroll steadily — moderate, consistent speed works best
• Avoid sudden jumps — the stitcher needs overlapping content between frames
• Fixed headers are fine — hypershot detects and handles static nav bars automatically
• Click Done when finished — or the session auto-pauses if you hit the GPU size limit

Limitations

• Maximum stitched height depends on your GPU’s maximum texture size
• Very fast or erratic scrolling may cause alignment failures
• Works best with content that scrolls vertically in one direction
