An “element screenshot” is when you capture only one thing on a page (like a button, chart, image, or card) without extra clutter.

TL;DR

  • Use Element Picker to capture a specific UI component without manual cropping.
  • If you can’t select the right element, slow down and try again (or zoom in).
  • If the element is inside a scrollable container, scroll it into view first.

Best method: Element Picker in Lliben

  1. Open the page in Chrome.
  2. In Lliben, choose Element Picker.
  3. Hover the page to highlight elements.
  4. Click the element you want to capture.
  5. In Lliben Capture, export to PNG/JPG/PDF or add quick annotations.

Common issues (and fixes)

  • Hard to select the right element: zoom in a bit, move the mouse slowly, and try again.
  • Element is inside a scrollable container: scroll that container so the content you want is visible before clicking.
  • Want an exact rectangle instead: use Selected Area capture.

Tip: For product docs, combine Element Picker with padding to make the screenshot look more intentional (clean margin around the element).
