This will start taking a screenshot of the entire web page. Note that this whole process can take several tens of seconds - it depends on how long the particular web page is. The final file in JPG format can easily be several tens of megabytes. Compared to Safari on the iPhone, the difference is that the entire screenshot is created in JPG format and not PDF – so you don't have to bother with conversion to another format. When saving, you should stay on a particular webpage the entire time and not switch to another one. Once the screenshot is taken, use the cross on the left to close the Web Inspector.
