Paparazzi! is a small utility for Mac OS X that makes screenshots of webpages.
It’s written in Objective-C using the Cocoa API and the WebKit framework.
It was inspired by webkit2png which is a commandline tool written by Paul Hammond in pyObjC, so all intellectual credit for the basic functionality goes to him. ;)
Paparazzi! requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later. The current version is 0.4.3.
If you find yourself using Paparazzi! often, please remember to donate!
A beta of Paparazzi! 0.5 is also available for download. This version contains a lot of fixes and additions; please use this version to report bugs on! This version will crash on launch under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I will fix this as soon as I can, but I don’t have Leopard at home yet.

Current devblog now up at wevah.vox.com; see posts tagged “paparazzi!” or subscribe to a Paparazzi!-tag feed. I may move it eventually (when I get off of my lazy bum regarding blogs), but if you're paying attention, you’ll know when that happens. My only real gripe is that you have to be a Vox user to comment. Oh, and that I can’t see how many people are reading. Oh well.

Two things: one, if you use Paparazzi! and also use I Use This, be sure to say so! Also, I’m working a bit on setting up a real blog for this stuff. At first I wanted to roll my own, but I’d rather be spending my time on Paparazzi! and other Cocoa stuff. So hopefully, there will be a nice Atom/RSS feed available in the near future as well.

Linked on Mac360 last week, too. I missed this, somehow!

Want to make captures of all your del.icio.us or Ma.gnolia bookmarks? Check out Galarrhea, an AppleScript that uses Paparazzi! and Safari to do this for you. (I should have posted this months ago.) It's good to know that people are actually using the AppleScript support!

Here’s what’s new in 0.5 and working so far:
- Better frameset handling. Capturing, for example, Apple developer documentation will capture the entire height.
- Temporary access to the WebView for username/password info, so capture of pages behind a required login is now possible.
- Printing.
- iTunes 6-style window (including rad corners). This was a pain, but fun!
- Automator actions. Okay, these aren’t done yet, but I’m working on them this week.
- JPEG 2000 export (under Tiger). I have no idea who’ll use this, but why not?
- Added “(like Safari)” to the user-agent string, for sites that check for “Safari” in the user agent string.
There’s more stuff, but I’ll add that later!

Better late than never, Paparazzi! 0.4.3 has been released. This version is a universal binary (!!) and disables the Web cache completely.
If you notice Paparazzi! telling you about version 0.4.3 even though you’re running it, please re-download it. Xcode refused to use the newer Info.plist until I cleaned and rebuilt.
