Before you start
- A Windows PC with Edge, Chrome or Firefox
- ShareX (free) for non-browser apps
Method 1 Microsoft Edge
-
Step 1: Open the page
Open the web page in Edge.
-
Step 2: Open Screenshot
Press Ctrl + Shift + S, or right-click the page and choose Screenshot.
-
Step 3: Capture full page
Click Capture full page. Edge scrolls the page and shows a preview.
-
Step 4: Save
Click the Save icon to save it as an image, or draw on it first.
Method 2 Mozilla Firefox
-
Step 1: Take Screenshot
Right-click an empty part of the page and choose Take Screenshot (or press Ctrl + Shift + S).
-
Step 2: Save full page
Click Save full page at the top right, then Download.
Method 3 Google Chrome
Pages with sticky headers or lazy-loading images may look odd. Scroll to the bottom once before capturing so all images load.
-
Step 1: Open DevTools
Press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I).
-
Step 2: Open the command menu
Press Ctrl + Shift + P and type full size.
-
Step 3: Capture
Choose Capture full size screenshot. A PNG of the whole page downloads automatically.
Method 4 Any app: ShareX (free)
Works for long documents, chats and file lists, not only web pages. Results depend on how the app scrolls.
Troubleshooting
Parts of the page are blank
Images load as you scroll. Scroll to the bottom and back up before capturing.
ShareX doesn’t scroll the window
Click inside the scrollable area first, or increase the scroll delay in the scrolling capture settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can Snipping Tool take scrolling screenshots?
Not natively. Use your browser’s full-page capture or ShareX.
Is there a size limit?
Very long pages may be cut off or produce huge images. Saving as PDF is better for extremely long content.
Summary
For web pages, use Edge’s Capture full page (Ctrl + Shift + S), Firefox’s Save full page, or Chrome DevTools’ Capture full size screenshot. For anything else, ShareX’s scrolling capture does the job.
