How to take a full page screenshot in Chrome

Chrome can do it without an extension: press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on a Mac) to open DevTools, press Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P), type screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot. The PNG goes to your Downloads folder. For one click, and for chats and feeds that scroll inside the page, use the free Emaki extension: open its side panel and choose Full page.

Chrome's built-in command draws the page from its layout, so it misses anything that scrolls inside the page, like a chat or a feed, and images that only load as you scroll can come out blank. Emaki scrolls the page like you would and stitches the shots together.

Step by step

Full page screenshot in Chrome

  1. Without an extension: open DevTools

    On the page you want, press Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows, Linux or ChromeOS, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac. You can also right-click the page and choose Inspect.

  2. Run Capture full size screenshot

    Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac) to open the command menu, type screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot. Chrome saves the whole page as a PNG in your Downloads folder.

  3. With Emaki: open the side panel

    Add Emaki from the Chrome Web Store, then click its icon in the toolbar to open the side panel. No account needed.

  4. Choose Full page

    Under What do you want to capture?, choose Full page. Emaki scrolls down the whole page, taking a shot of each screen, and stitches them into one tall image. For a chat, feed or panel that scrolls inside the page, choose Scrolling area and click it instead.

  5. Save or edit it

    Click Download to save the capture as a PNG, or Edit to save it as a JPG or PDF. With Emaki Pro, the editor also crops it, adds arrows, boxes or text, or blurs private details first.

  • Free captures are up to 150 shots long, enough for most long pages. Emaki Pro goes up to 1000.
  • Chrome's own pages (chrome:// and the Web Store) can't be captured by any extension.
  • A header or banner that stays on screen while you scroll can repeat down the image. Emaki Pro ($10/month or $100/year) shows it once with Remove repeating sticky headers.
FAQ

Questions and answers

Does Chrome have a built-in full page screenshot?

Yes, hidden in DevTools: open DevTools, press Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac), type screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot. There's no menu item or keyboard shortcut for it outside DevTools.

Why is my full page screenshot cut off or missing parts?

Either the content scrolls inside the page, like a chat or a feed, so the page itself isn't tall, or images load only as you scroll and weren't there yet. Emaki's Scrolling area captures the inner part, and its Full page scrolls through the page like you would, so images that load as you scroll are there when each shot is taken.

Can I save it as a PDF?

Yes. Capture the page with Emaki, click Edit and choose PDF from the export menu. It's free, and the image is split into pages for you.

Is it free?

Yes. Both ways are free. Emaki's full page and scrolling captures, and saving as PNG, JPG or PDF, need no account. Emaki Pro ($10/month or $100/year) adds marking up, blurring and longer captures.

Does Emaki upload my screenshots?

No. Screenshots and page content are processed on your computer and never uploaded. The only exceptions are ones you choose: an AI edit on Pro + AI sends just the image or area you're editing to Google's Gemini API, and a share link uploads that one capture until the link expires.
