Website Screenshot & Animation Recorder

A powerful Python desktop application that allows you to capture high-quality full-page screenshots of websites and convert them into smooth scrolling animations (GIF or WebP).

Features

• Full Page Screenshots: Captures the entire height of any webpage, automatically handling lazy loading and scroll animations.
• Viewport Mode: Option to capture only the visible area (1920x1080).
• Smart Scrolling: Automatically scrolls down pages before capturing to ensure all dynamic content and images are loaded.
• Animated Exports: Convert full-page screenshots into scrolling animations.
  • Formats: Support for highly efficient WebP and standard GIF.
  • Quality Options: Choose between 1080p, 720p, and 480p to optimize file size.

• Modern GUI: Simple and responsive interface built with Tkinter.
