@Pesala Yes, everybody can do that in some image editor - the point is to eliminate this step. (Not mentioning that the reason we all use Vivaldi is that it supports OUR way of work so we don't need to be lectured on how we should work differently than we do / want, sorry if I'm sounding strict, but...)

Vivaldi is a working tool - a great one, but this would save me lots more of my time, since I'd be able to simply get the result I need directly with almost no effort and just move on to actually use it, instead of getting some middle-product for which I then need to:

page capture, take larger part of the screen than needed open a whole new software do the appropriate edit (which on itself is more complicated and time-consuming than just getting the desired result right-away) save it switch out of this editor

...that's lots of work for something what could be easily done with:

page capture set fixed ratio, done

Hell, even just SHOWING the ratio would be a great help. (But I guess once you show it, you can also allow to set it...)

Also, I'm not asking for an image editor - I don't want to edit anything.

Vivaldi page capture is (or at least for some time was) one of flag-features Vivaldi team was proud to present. Adding one more sensible function to it is not a sophistication creep.

Added my vote. I'm surprised this has so little attention.

Beyond Vivaldi's built-in screenshot feature, I'd also like to see support for external screenshot tools to do the exact same thing (take a pixel-perfect screenshot of the visible page, not the toolbars or panels), so that I can use my typical workflow for taking screenshots to also capture ideal screenshots in Vivaldi. The terminology I've seen around this is "control regions".

I use ShareX, a very popular screenshot tool. When using the "region capture" mode, hovering over a window will automatically size the region to the size of the window, which is a fantastic low-friction way to get a pixel-perfect screenshot every time.

Also, when having "Also detect control regions inside windows" selected (ShareX Region Capture setting), apps like Windows Explorer, Google Chrome, Notion, etc., automatically snap to various regions within the app: toolbar, side pane, main pane/web page, etc.

I would like Vivaldi to behave like this, giving us 2 or 3 panes that can be hovered over to provide different selection areas for ShareX. I think this same behavior should exist for the Vivaldi built-in screenshot tool, as others have mentioned above, and I'm wondering if identifying these "control regions" will be the appropriate development area to target to solve both at once.

I found another post about this, but it is archived so I cannot comment or upvote it. https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/66470/create-a-separate-control-region-for-the-browser-viewport

You can see that the whole window is not selected, only the page, and without me having to manually select this region. Very handy! I hope Vivaldi can have this feature also.

@pesala Tried - not what i need.
To understand what we want:

save same page with opera, and vivaldi, and compare it,
and then you will see the difference. main idea is to have exact "page view" in saved pdf, and
not the "print" version stripped.

Just compare it with opera, they did this well, and
i love it, but still looking to vivaldi to implement this
neat feature.

@nedab Then you need to start a new feature request.
