Python

Each WebDriver has a .save_screenshot(filename) method. So for Firefox, it can be used like this:

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get(')
browser.save_screenshot('screenie.png')

Confusingly, a .get_screenshot_as_file(filename) method also exists that does the same thing.

There are also methods for: .get_screenshot_as_base64() (for embedding in HTML) and .get_screenshot_as_png()(for retrieving binary data).

And note that WebElements have a .screenshot() method that works similarly, but only captures the selected element.

C#

public void TakeScreenshot()
{
    try
    {            
        Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
        ss.SaveAsFile(@"D:\Screenshots\SeleniumTestingScreenshot.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

JavaScript (Selenium-Webdriver)

driver.takeScreenshot().then(function(data){
   var base64Data = data.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/,"")
   fs.writeFile("out.png", base64Data, 'base64', function(err) {
        if(err) console.log(err);
   });
});

Ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :ie
driver.get ""
driver.save_screenshot("./screen.png")

More file types and options are available and you can see them in file takes_screenshot.rb.

Java

I got this issue resolved. You can augment the RemoteWebDriver to give it all of the interfaces its proxied driver implements:

WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(...); // It works this way

PHP (PHPUnit)

It uses PHPUnit_Selenium extension version 1.2.7:

class MyTestClass extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase {
    ...
    public function screenshot($filepath) {
        $filedata = $this->currentScreenshot();
        file_put_contents($filepath, $filedata);
    }

    public function testSomething() {
        $this->screenshot('/path/to/screenshot.png');
    }
    ...
}

C#

public Bitmap TakeScreenshot(By by) {
    // 1. Make screenshot of all screen
    var screenshotDriver = _selenium as ITakesScreenshot;
    Screenshot screenshot = screenshotDriver.GetScreenshot();
    var bmpScreen = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(screenshot.AsByteArray));

    // 2. Get screenshot of specific element
    IWebElement element = FindElement(by);
    var cropArea = new Rectangle(element.Location, element.Size);
    return bmpScreen.Clone(cropArea, bmpScreen.PixelFormat);
}

Java

public String captureScreen() {
    String path;
    try {
        WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
        File source = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        path = "./target/screenshots/" + source.getName();
        FileUtils.copyFile(source, new File(path)); 
    }
    catch(IOException e) {
        path = "Failed to capture screenshot: " + e.getMessage();
    }
    return path;
}

Jython

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType as OutputType
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils as FileUtils
import java.io.File as File
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver as FirefoxDriver

self.driver = FirefoxDriver()
tempfile = self.driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE)
FileUtils.copyFile(tempfile, File("C:\\screenshot.png"))

Java (Robot Framework)

I used this method for taking a screenshot.

void takeScreenShotMethod(){
    try{
        Thread.sleep(10000)
        BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
        ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("./target/surefire-reports/screenshot.jpg"));
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You may use this method wherever required.

Java

Seems to be missing here - taking screenshot of a specific element in Java:

public void takeScreenshotElement(WebElement element) throws IOException {
    WrapsDriver wrapsDriver = (WrapsDriver) element;
    File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) wrapsDriver.getWrappedDriver()).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
    Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(element.getSize().width, element.getSize().height);
    Point location = element.getLocation();
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(screenshot);
    BufferedImage destImage = bufferedImage.getSubimage(location.x, location.y, rectangle.width, rectangle.height);
    ImageIO.write(destImage, "png", screenshot);
    File file = new File("//path//to");
    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, file);
}

C#

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

namespace example.com
{
    class Program
    {
        public static PhantomJSDriver driver;

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1280, 1024);
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("");
            driver.GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile("screenshot.png", ImageFormat.Png);
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

It requires NuGet packages:

1. PhantomJS 2.0.0
2. Selenium.Support 2.48.2
3. Selenium.WebDriver 2.48.2

It was Tested with .NET Framework v4.5.2.

Java

I could not get the accepted answer to work, but as per the current WebDriver documentation, the following worked fine for me with Java 7 on OS X v10.9 (Mavericks):

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.Augmenter;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class Testing {

   public void myTest() throws Exception {
       WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
               new URL(""),
               DesiredCapabilities.firefox());

       driver.get("");

       // RemoteWebDriver does not implement the TakesScreenshot class
       // if the driver does have the Capabilities to take a screenshot
       // then Augmenter will add the TakesScreenshot methods to the instance
       WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
       File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).
               getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
   }
}

There are multiple methods through Selenium's Java and Python client to take a screenshot using Selenium WebDriver.

Java Methods

The following are the different Java methods to take a screenshot:

• Using getScreenshotAs() from the TakesScreenshot interface:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import java.io.File;
       import java.io.IOException;
  
       import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
       import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
       import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
       public class Firefox_takesScreenshot {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("");
               new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("Birst"));
               File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
               FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(".\\Screenshots\\Mads_Cruz_screenshot.png"));
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
  

• Screenshot:

• If the webpage is jQuery enabled, you can use ashot from the pazone/ashot library:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import java.io.File;
       import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.AShot;
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.Screenshot;
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.shooting.ShootingStrategies;
  
       public class ashot_CompletePage_Firefox {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("");
               new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("jQuery"));
               Screenshot myScreenshot = new AShot().shootingStrategy(ShootingStrategies.viewportPasting(100)).takeScreenshot(driver);
               ImageIO.write(myScreenshot.getImage(),"PNG",new File("./Screenshots/firefoxScreenshot.png"));
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
  

• Screenshot:

• Using selenium-shutterbug from assertthat/selenium-shutterbug library:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import com.assertthat.selenium_shutterbug.core.Shutterbug;
       import com.assertthat.selenium_shutterbug.utils.web.ScrollStrategy;
  
       public class selenium_shutterbug_fullpage_firefox {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("");
               Shutterbug.shootPage(driver, ScrollStrategy.BOTH_DIRECTIONS).save("./Screenshots/");
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
