How to Capture a Full Webpage Screenshot
Published August 9, 2026 · 4 min read
A regular screenshot only captures what's visible in your browser window. If a page is long and you need everything, the part you can see plus everything below the fold, you'll need a different approach.
Browser dev tools
Chrome and Edge both have a hidden "Capture full size screenshot" option. Open dev tools with F12, press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command menu, type "screenshot", and choose the full size option. It scrolls the page automatically and stitches the result together.
Browser extensions
Dedicated full-page capture extensions handle long or complex pages well, including ones with sticky headers or infinite scroll, cases where the built-in dev tools option can sometimes struggle.
Printing to PDF
For a quick alternative, use your browser's print function and save as PDF instead of printing. It won't look exactly like a screenshot, but it captures the full page content and works in a pinch.
Do you actually need the full page?
Before capturing everything, consider whether a normal screenshot of just the relevant section would communicate the point faster. Full-page captures are useful for documentation and archiving, but a focused screenshot is often quicker for reporting a specific bug or asking a specific question.
Sharing the result
Whichever method you use, you can upload the resulting image to sshot.online and get a shareable link right away, no account needed.
