IE Snapshot

IE Snapshot is a software application which helps people capture a particular web page or a part of it and save it to the computer, so that you can further analyze it.

The installation process is typical, and after you complete it, you come face to face with a simple and highly intuitive interface. It closely resembles the layout of a web browser, along with back, forward, stop, refresh and home buttons, and a preview panel.

In order to save a web page to your computer, as a multi-page PDF or as a picture, all you have to do is input the appropriate URL, select the part that interests you (or do not select anything in order to grab the whole picture) and click the “Save” or “Create new PDF” button.

From the settings panel, you can choose the output directory, format and filename type (manually or automatically – date, time and page name). It is also possible to choose the compression quality, include a custom header with user-defined font type, size, foreground and background, as well as input X, Y, width and height, so as to automate the selection.

There are no Help contents, yet seeing how easy it is to use this software tool, it becomes apparent they are not actually needed. CPU and memory usage is moderate-to low, and response time is good.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say IE Snapshot is a useful piece of software for people interested in capturing pages from URL lists, which does not put a strain on your computer’s resources.
