As a web designer, I usually take screenshots of various beautifully-designed websites to be kept as ideas, source of inspiration, as well as a subject of research. I used to keep the URL of the web sites, but the thing is, websites change from time to time, and sometimes you want that particular design, which is no longer available.

So then I started taking snapshots. In the beginning, I actually take the screenshots one by one and stitch them in Photoshop (dumb, I know), So here in this article discusses 5 such screen capture utilities for Google Chrome. If you are a chrome user, and need to capture screenshots of webpages often, you’d find these useful.
