Full page screenshot in Microsoft Edge
Short answer: in Edge press Ctrl+Shift+S and choose Capture full page for a plain article; for web apps, sticky headers, an editor or a PDF with page breaks, add FullPage Capture from Edge Add-ons, free, and click once.
Edge can take a full page screenshot on its own: Web Capture, Ctrl+Shift+S, then Capture full page. It is enough for a plain article. For a web app, a page that scrolls inside a panel, a PDF with page breaks or a screenshot you need to annotate and blur, add FullPage Capture from Edge Add-ons. Free, no account, nothing leaves the browser.
Add it to Edge and capture this page. Free, from Edge Add-ons.

Questions
How do I take a full page screenshot in Edge without an extension?
Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on a Mac) or choose Screenshot from the menu, then Capture full page. Edge scrolls the page and shows the result with a pen and an eraser; you can copy it or save it as an image.
Then why an extension?
Web Capture photographs what the page itself scrolls. A Gmail thread, a Notion page, a Trello board or a dashboard that scrolls inside a panel comes out cut off; sticky headers can repeat; there is no PDF with page breaks, no blur, no crop to size, no text or arrows, and no history of what you captured. The extension covers all of that.
Is the Edge version the same extension as the Chrome one?
Yes, the same code, published in Edge Add-ons for Edge. Features, shortcuts and updates are the same.
Can I install the Chrome Web Store version in Edge?
Yes. Edge asks once whether to allow extensions from other stores, then installs it. The Edge Add-ons listing is the better door, because it is the one reviewed for Edge, but both work.
Does Pro work in both Chrome and Edge?
Yes. Pro is tied to your account, not to a browser, and one account can be signed in on up to 5 browsers at once. What Pro adds
Does it work in Edge on a Mac? On Linux?
Yes. The capture happens inside the browser, so it is the same on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Can I save the page as a PDF in Edge?
Edge's Print to PDF re-flows the page and cuts lines of text between pages. The extension writes the PDF from the capture: one long page, or Letter, Legal and A4 with page breaks between lines and clickable links. Save a webpage as PDF
What is the keyboard shortcut in Edge?
Alt+Shift+K by default. Change it at edge://extensions/shortcuts.
Do my screenshots leave the browser?
No. The extension makes zero network requests; captures are stored in Edge's local storage on your device.
Try it on the page you are reading. Free, no account, no watermark. Nothing is uploaded.
