How to screenshot an entire webpage

Short answer: Chrome: F12, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, Capture full size screenshot. Edge: Ctrl+Shift+S, Capture full page. Firefox: right-click, Take Screenshot, Save full page. Safari: File → Export as PDF. Or one click with FullPage Capture, free, in any Chromium browser.

Every desktop browser can capture a whole web page on its own now, each in its own hidden corner, and an extension does it in one click with the hard cases handled. This page is the map: the built-in route in each browser, the extension, what differs by operating system and on phones, and the situations that defeat the simple methods, with a link to the detailed guide for each.

The quick answer

Once, on a plain page: Chrome F12 then Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, “Capture full size screenshot”. Edge Ctrl+Shift+S, Capture full page. Firefox right-click, Take Screenshot, Save full page. Safari File → Export as PDF.

Often, or on a web app: a full page screenshot extension. FullPage Capture is ours, free, for Chrome and Edge.

By browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari

Chrome. The built-in way is a developer command: open DevTools (F12), press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, type “screenshot”, choose Capture full size screenshot. A PNG lands in Downloads. Chrome guide.
Edge. Ctrl+Shift+S opens Web Capture; choose Capture full page, then copy or save. The one desktop browser with a full page option in its screenshot tool. Edge page.
Firefox. Right-click the page, Take Screenshot, Save full page. Copy or download.
Safari (Mac). File → Export as PDF writes the whole page as one tall PDF page; the Web Inspector's Capture Screenshot on the html element gives a PNG. Mac guide.

All four photograph what the page itself scrolls and do it once. They are enough for an article. They stop at panels that scroll inside the page, often repeat sticky headers, may miss images that load on scroll, and offer no editor, no clipboard copy in most cases, no PDF with page breaks and no history.

With an extension: one click, any Chromium browser

Add to Chrome

By computer: Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook

The operating system's own screenshot tools capture the screen, never the page: Snipping Tool and Print Screen on Windows, Shift+Cmd+3 and 4 on a Mac, Ctrl+Show windows on a Chromebook, the screenshot tool of your Linux desktop. So on every system the answer is the same: use the browser's method or an extension. What differs is the fallback for windows that are not a browser: on Windows, ShareX or PicPick scroll any window; on a Mac, Shottr or CleanShot X. The Windows guide and the Mac guide go through each.

On a phone

Phones have it built in, and extensions do not run there. iPhone and iPad: take a screenshot in Safari, tap the preview and choose Full Page; it saves as a PDF, or as an image on recent iOS versions. Android: take a screenshot and tap Capture more (Pixel) or Scroll capture (Samsung) to extend it down the page.

What breaks simple methods

The page scrolls inside a panel (Gmail, Notion, Slack, Trello, dashboards). Built-in methods get one screen. The extension finds the real scroller and unrolls it.
A sticky header or cookie bar repeats on every screen or covers text. The extension captures it once; dismiss the banner first either way.
Images load as you scroll and come out blank. Scroll to the bottom before a built-in capture; the extension waits for each screen.
Very long pages. Browsers cap an image at 28,800 pixels a side in Chrome; the extension splits into numbered parts, built-in methods may fail without a message.
You need a document, not a picture. Print to PDF cuts lines and re-flows; the extension's PDF keeps the look, breaks between lines and keeps links. PDF guide.
You need proof. A plain screenshot can be edited by anyone. Evidence mode stamps the address, exact time and a checksum on the file so it can be verified later. How Evidence mode works.

Questions

What is the fastest way to screenshot an entire webpage?

With an extension, one click or a shortcut. Without one, the fastest built-in route is Edge's Ctrl+Shift+S, then Capture full page; in Chrome it is DevTools' Capture full size screenshot; in Firefox, right-click, Take Screenshot, Save full page; in Safari, File, Export as PDF.

Why does my screenshot stop after one screen?

Either the tool captures the screen, not the page (Print Screen, Snipping Tool, Shift+Cmd+4 all do), or the page scrolls inside a panel and the tool photographed the page element. For the first, use one of the browser methods above; for the second, an extension that finds the inner scroller.

Can I screenshot an entire webpage without installing anything?

Yes, in every desktop browser: Chrome and Edge (DevTools command, Web Capture), Firefox (Save full page) and Safari (Export as PDF). They are fine for a plain article and stop at web apps, sticky headers and images that load on scroll. The Chrome method, step by step

How do I screenshot a whole webpage as a PDF?

Print to PDF re-flows the page and cuts lines; Safari's Export as PDF gives one long page; the extension writes a 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 without cutting it off

Does it matter whether I am on Windows or a Mac?

Only for the system shortcuts, which capture the screen either way. The browser methods and the extension are identical on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.

Can I screenshot an entire webpage that needs a login?

Yes, with any method that runs in your own browser, which is all of the above. Online "URL to screenshot" services cannot, because their server is not signed in as you.
