How to Capture a Full Webpage Screenshot

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.
