For Wikipedia
Capture a Wikipedia article as a visual reference
Keep a visual reference of an article, diagram, or infobox as it appears in your browser. Page to Image preserves the rendered page as an image you can crop and annotate.
When a visual capture helps
Choose the format for the reference you need
For article text in a print-friendly layout, Wikipedia and browser print options may be enough. Use Page to Image when you need a visual capture of the current page layout or want to mark a diagram or section.
A local workflow
Capture, refine, and save.
Open the article and load its content
Scroll through the article and expand any sections you need before capturing. The result reflects the page content available at capture time.
Capture the page or a detail
Choose Full page for the loaded article, Visible area for the current view, or Selected area for a chart, diagram, or infobox.
Annotate and export
Crop the image or mark a detail in Capture review. Export PNG, JPEG, or an image-only PDF for your own reference.
Choose the right export
For print-ready article text, try the printable page
MediaWiki documents a printable version and browser printing. Use those when you need a text-focused print layout; Page to Image is for a visual image of the rendered page.
Read the official Wikipedia export or print guidanceWhat to know before you capture
- The PDF export is a visual image, not searchable article text.
- A screenshot preserves the visible page state; it does not include collapsed or unloaded content.
- Check the article’s attribution and reuse terms before republishing captured material.
Your capture and edits stay in your browser. Page to Image does not upload page contents or screenshots for processing.
