The best full page screenshot extensions for Chrome in 2026
Short answer: FullPage Capture. It is the one of the four built for the pages that break stitched screenshots, web apps that scroll inside a panel, sticky headers, lazy-loaded images, PDF files, very long pages, and it gives free what the others charge for: PDF page breaks, the URL stamp, a usable editor and a full history, with zero network requests. The other three are described below with their figures from the store listings, September 27, 2026.
Four extensions capture a full page in Chrome, and we make one of them. This page says why FullPage Capture comes first, on the capture itself and on what you get free, then lays out the same facts for all four from the store listings so you can check every claim, and covers the built-in browser commands for when you would rather install nothing.
Who is writing this. We make FullPage Capture, and this page is our case for it. Every figure about another extension is taken from its Chrome Web Store listing or its own pricing page as they read on September 27, 2026, so you can check each one. If something has changed since, tell us and we will correct it. Who we are.
Why FullPage Capture comes first
- It captures the hard pages, free. Panels that scroll inside the page, sticky headers once, images that load on scroll, embedded frames, PDF files open in Chrome, very long pages in numbered parts. FireShot puts scrolling areas and floating-element handling in Pro; GoFullPage's FAQ asks you to scroll and load the page by hand first; Awesome Screenshot's listing does not mention any of it.
- It gives free what the others sell. PDF page breaks between lines and the URL and date stamp are Premium in GoFullPage; a usable editor is Premium there and on the paid plans of Awesome Screenshot; the full history is Pro in FireShot. All free in FullPage Capture.
- Nothing leaves the browser. Zero network requests, no account for the free version, no cloud, no ads. Awesome Screenshot stores captures in its cloud; FireShot's free versions carry advertisements per its own table.
- Records that hold up. The evidence band with a SHA-256 checksum, verifiable by anyone at /verify/, exists in none of the other three.
- Honest minuses: Chromium only, no screen recording, no selection capture (crop in the editor instead), and by far the smallest user base of the four.

Add to ChromeThe other three, in one line each
- GoFullPage: the oldest and most installed, 869 KiB, no extra permissions, Firefox too; editing, the stamp and smart PDF breaks cost Premium, $12 a year (the site also says $1.00 a month); cannot capture PDF files per its FAQ.
- FireShot: the longest feature list, selection capture, all tabs, URL lists, uploads, a Windows app, all in the paid tier (Pro, $39.95 a year, $7.95 a month or $99.95 once); scrolling areas and frames are Pro, and the free versions show advertisements per its own table.
- Awesome Screenshot: a screen recorder with screenshots and a cloud account; free plan capped at 100 cloud screenshots, plans Basic $5 a month and Professional $6 a month billed yearly ($6 and $8 billed monthly); declares that it handles website content.

FullPage Capture, our pick
One job, done completely: the whole page with sticky headers once, inner scrollers and frames unrolled, images that load on scroll waited for, PDF files open in Chrome captured page by page, very long pages split into numbered parts. Free: PNG, JPEG, PDF in one long page or Letter, Legal and A4 with page breaks between lines and clickable links, the URL and date stamp in five styles, clipboard copy, and a searchable history in the browser. The editor (arrows, shapes, text, highlight, numbered badges, blur, pixelate, crop, with layers and undo) is free to use; saving an edited capture is Pro. Pro (Try Pro: $0 for 7 days, then $19 a year, 48-hour guarantee) adds searchable PDFs, evidence stamps with a SHA-256 checksum verifiable at /verify/, batch capture of a URL list and upload to Google Drive. No account for the free version, no cloud of its own, zero network requests. The honest minuses: Chromium only, no selection capture, no recording, and by far the smallest user base here. What it does.

Add to ChromeGoFullPage
The category's original, from 2012, and still the smallest and most widely installed. One click or Alt+Shift+P scrolls the page and opens the result in a tab; download PNG or JPEG, export PDF in several paper sizes, copy to the clipboard. It handles inner scrollable elements and frames, splits pages that are too large for one image, and asks for no extra permissions. Premium (Premium, $12 a year (the site also says $1.00 a month), 7-day free trial) adds cropping, annotations with blur, text and highlight, the URL and date stamp, smart PDF page splitting and priority support. It cannot capture a PDF file open in Chrome, by its own FAQ. Full comparison.
FireShot
The most features of the four. Free: full page, visible part or selection; PDF with links, PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP; all open tabs and a list of URLs (visible part only in the free versions); clipboard, print, e-mail, Gmail attachment, uploads to Twitter, Flickr, ImageShack or your own server; page information on the image. Pro (Pro, $39.95 a year, $7.95 a month or $99.95 once, 7-day money-back period) adds PDF text and custom page sizes, capture of scrolling areas and frames, all tabs into one PDF, the full editor, OneNote and a Windows application. FireShot's own comparison table lists advertisements and a one-week history for the free versions. Full comparison.
Awesome Screenshot
A screen recorder and screenshot tool in one, with a cloud account. Records the tab, desktop or camera in WebM or MP4 and hands you a link; captures full page, selected area, visible part or desktop; annotates with shapes, text, blur and highlight; saves PNG, JPG or PDF; sends captures to Jira, Slack, Trello, Asana and GitHub. The free plan caps cloud storage at 100 screenshots and 20 recordings at 720p (local screenshots are unlimited); paid plans are Basic $5 a month and Professional $6 a month billed yearly ($6 and $8 billed monthly). Its store declaration says it handles website content, which follows from the cloud. Full comparison.
No extension: DevTools and Edge
Chrome's DevTools has Capture full size screenshot (F12, then Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, type “screenshot”), and Edge has Web Capture (Ctrl+Shift+S, then Capture full page). Both are fine for a plain article. Both photograph only what the page itself scrolls, so a Gmail thread or a dashboard comes out one screen tall; sticky headers can repeat; images that load on scroll may be missing; and there is no editor, no PDF with page breaks, and no history. Firefox has Take Screenshot → Save full page, with the same limits. The Chrome guide and the Edge page go through them step by step.
How we compared them
Every figure comes from the Chrome Web Store listing of each extension and from the vendor's own pricing or feature page, read on the date in the note at the top; nothing is from memory or from other people's reviews. Where a listing did not say whether a feature exists, the table says “Not stated” rather than guessing. We did not run timed benchmarks, because capture speed depends on the page far more than on the tool. We make FullPage Capture, and we have tried to write its profile with the same distance as the others; if you think we failed somewhere, say so.
Questions
Which full page screenshot extension is completely free?
All four capture the full page free, without a watermark. They differ on what sits behind the paid tier: GoFullPage charges for editing, the stamp and smart PDF breaks; FireShot's free versions carry advertisements and a one-week history per its own table; Awesome Screenshot caps its free cloud plan; FullPage Capture charges for saving an edited capture, searchable PDFs, evidence stamps, batch capture and Drive upload.
Which is safest for confidential pages?
Look at the store's data declaration and at what the tool does with a capture. GoFullPage, FireShot and FullPage Capture all declare that they do not collect or use your data; Awesome Screenshot declares that it handles website content, which follows from its cloud storage. FullPage Capture additionally makes no network requests at all, so a capture cannot leave the machine unless you export it and send it yourself.
Do I need an extension at all?
For a plain article, no: Chrome's DevTools command and Edge's Web Capture both capture a full page. You need an extension when the page scrolls inside a panel (Gmail, Notion, dashboards), when sticky headers repeat, when images that load on scroll are missing, or when you want an editor, a PDF with page breaks, a clipboard copy or a history. How the built-in command works
Which one works in Firefox?
GoFullPage, FireShot and Awesome Screenshot all list Firefox. FullPage Capture is for Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers only, and Firefox has its own Save full page option built in.
Why is your own extension first?
Because on the two things that decide a full page screenshot, whether the hard pages capture completely and what you get without paying, it leads, and the table shows the same facts for all four so you can check that. The disclosure at the top says who we are.
