A method of generating an image file by screen capture, the method comprising:
- displaying a first portion of an electronic page through an electronic device, wherein a size of the electronic page is larger than a size of a display of the electronic device;
- acquiring the first portion of the electronic page;
- continuously scrolling the electronic page by a predetermined amount, wherein the predetermined amount of the electronic page is smaller than the first portion of the electronic page, thereby displaying and acquiring a second portion of the electronic page scrolled by the predetermined amount from the first portion, and displaying and acquiring a third portion of the electronic page scrolled by the predetermined amount from the second portion, wherein the second portion includes a first identical portion corresponding to a part of the first portion, and the third portion includes a second identical portion corresponding to a part of the second portion;
- identifying whether a scroll capture end request is detected while continuously scrolling the electronic page, wherein the scroll capture end request includes a user input received while scrolling the electronic page;
- based on identifying that the scroll capture end request is detected while displaying the third portion of the electronic page, generate an image file by combining the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion acquired until the scroll capture end request is detected,
- based on identifying that the scroll capture end request is detected while displaying a last portion of the electronic page, generate an image file corresponding to an entire portion of the electronic page,
- wherein generating the image file includes generating the image file not to repeatedly include the first identical portion and the second identical portion.
