Scroll the page to the desired document coordinates, then save a normal WebDriver screenshot. In Python, driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 1200)") moves the page 1,200 CSS pixels down; driver.save_screenshot("page.png") captures the viewport at that position.

Capture the viewport at a chosen scroll position

A WebDriver screenshot captures the current browsing context. Set the page position first, then take the screenshot. Selenium IDE’s FAQ demonstrates coordinate scrolling with window.scrollTo(0,1000); Selenium’s Python API documents saving the current window screenshot as a PNG file. See Selenium IDE FAQ and the Selenium Python WebDriver API.

Python example

driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, 1200)")
driver.save_screenshot("page.png")

Replace 1200 with the vertical offset you need. The coordinates are CSS pixels. To scroll horizontally as well, use a nonzero first coordinate—for example, window.scrollTo(300, 1200).

Complete runnable example

Install Selenium with python -m pip install selenium and have a compatible browser available. This example opens a URL, scrolls, saves the viewport image and closes the browser:

Elebase USB to USB C Adapter for iPhone 18 Pro Max,USBC Car Charger Adapter
  • Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
  • Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
  • Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
  • Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
  • 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
from selenium import webdriver

url = "https://example.com"
scroll_x = 0
scroll_y = 1200

 driver = webdriver.Chrome()
try:
    driver.get(url)
    driver.execute_script(
        "window.scrollTo(arguments[0], arguments[1])",
        scroll_x,
        scroll_y,
    )
    driver.save_screenshot("page.png")
finally:
    driver.quit()

Remove the leading space before driver = webdriver.Chrome() if copying the code exactly; it should align with try. The screenshot contains the browser viewport at the resulting scroll position, not the entire page.

Wait for the page to be ready before capturing

A fixed coordinate scroll does not guarantee that content has finished loading or that a lazy-loaded section is visible yet. If the page inserts content after scrolling, wait for a meaningful condition—such as the target element becoming visible—before saving. Selenium’s troubleshooting guidance recommends JavaScript scrolling or Actions for elements outside the viewport or overlapped, and explicit waits when interaction depends on timing. It does not establish one universal wait duration. See Selenium troubleshooting.

For example, scroll to a target element and wait for visibility rather than sleeping for an arbitrary number of seconds:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

target = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#section-to-capture")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView()", target)
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of(target))
driver.save_screenshot("section-position.png")

Change the selector and timeout to suit the page. The timeout is a maximum wait, not a guaranteed delay; the wait ends when the condition is met.

Choose a viewport screenshot or an element screenshot

Screenshot method What it captures Use it when
Page/window screenshot The current browsing context at its current scroll position. You want the viewport showing the chosen part of the page.
Element screenshot The visible region covered by an element’s bounding rectangle. You want one element rather than the whole viewport.

Selenium documents both screenshot operations in its WebDriver documentation. An element screenshot is not a substitute for positioning the page when you need surrounding viewport context.

Common problems and fixes

  • The screenshot shows the top of the page. Run the scroll script after navigation and before saving the screenshot. Check that the page is in the expected window or frame.
  • The target content is missing. It may load only after scrolling or after an asynchronous request. Scroll to it, wait for a relevant visible or loaded condition, then capture.
  • The page moves, but the screenshot is unchanged. Verify that the code scrolls the correct browsing context and that the requested coordinates are within the page’s scrollable area.
  • An element is off-screen or covered. Scroll it into view with JavaScript or Selenium Actions, then wait for visibility or for the obstructing content to clear.
  • The image is not saved where expected. save_screenshot writes to the path supplied; use an absolute path if you need to control the destination. The Python API also provides get_screenshot_as_file(filename) and get_screenshot_as_png() for a file or PNG bytes, respectively.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo can return a screenshot from one GET request. For example, save a screenshot of the page at its initial view with cURL:
