Have you ever seen these types of screenshots were you can see a whole website in one shot? or an entire article? Well, these are called scrolling captures and are very useful for when you need to showcase something that it takes more space than your display.

As you can see you can really show a lot of content, while maintaining good quality. (Maybe zoomed out is not the best, but if you zoom in it should be really sharp)
