Choose FullPage Screenshot if your work is screenshots: marked-up captures for QA or design, browser frames and timestamps, or every page of a site in one ZIP. Choose Pulse Extractor if you need the page's content, not only its picture: tables in Excel, text from images, editable Word and PowerPoint, or research.

Using both
For a QA or design team that lives in annotated screenshots, a capture specialist is the natural fit, and Pulse can sit beside it for pages whose data has to reach a spreadsheet or a report.
How this comparison was made
We read FullPage Screenshot's own public pages and store listing on and restated only what they say, in our own words, with a link to each source. We did not test FullPage Screenshot, so its column reports its claims, not our measurements. Products change: check the sources before you decide, and tell us if something here is out of date.
FullPage Screenshot (fullpagescreenshot.eu) is a trademark of its owner. Pulse Extractor is a separate product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to FullPage Screenshot.
Questions
Can Pulse capture every page of a website?
No. Pulse works on the page you are viewing, when you click, and does not crawl sites. FullPage Screenshot describes whole-site capture from a URL or sitemap.
Does Pulse blur or redact before export?
Yes. Smart Snip Studio blurs, pixelates and redacts a snip, and an opt-in setting also removes the words and table cells underneath from every text-based export.
Is Pulse Extractor affiliated with fullpagescreenshot.eu?
No. They are separate products from separate companies.
