How to Take a Screenshot of an Entire Webpage in Safari on a Mac

Taking screenshots of a webpage is a normal operation for many. Perhaps it’s to capture an image for a meme, graphs for a presentation, or to send that annoying error message to a disbelieving customer service rep. Whatever the reason, some of the standard Mac screenshot options may not do the trick.

Most of us are familiar with Shift-Command-3 to capture the entire screen, or Shift-Command-4 to capture a selected portion of a screen. You may even be familiar with Shift-Command-5 to capture a single window. But what if you want to take a scrolling screen capture of an entire webpage? The aforementioned tools can’t do that – they can only capture visible areas of your screen. So, is it even possible to take a screenshot that includes a portion of a webpage you would normally need to scroll to see?

Yes, there is! But it does take a few extra steps than just executing a single keystroke combination.

Screenshot a Webpage

Open Safari and go to “ Safari > Preferences… “
Click the Advanced tab and toggle on “ Show Develop menu in menu bar .”

Navigate to the webpage you want to capture and from the Develop menu, choose “ Show Web Inspector .” Alternatively, you can hit alt-command-I (⌥⌘I).

Show Web Inspector in develop menu in safri

Select the Elements tab and right-click on the line that begins with “<html…”
Choose Capture Screenshot

Give it a moment to do it’s magic, and then select a name and location to save the file.

All done! Well, almost…

This could just be an issue I run into, but when capturing entire pages in this manner, there is a lot of empty container buffer around the image in the PNG file. You can see this in the Quick Preview of the file:

Let’s fix that.

Open the file in Preview . If Preview is already your default application to open PNG files, you can simply double-click its icon.

Drag the crosshairs in the empty area around the image. You’ll see the empty space selected and highlighted in red. Drag too far, and you’ll pick up the image itself. Don’t do that, we only want to select the empty area.

When you let go of the mouse button, the highlighted color will disappear and be replaced with a dotted line indicating the selected area.

Hit Shift-Command-I (⇧⌘I) to invert the selection.

Hit Control-K (⌘K) to crop the image to the selection.
Now you can hit Save (⌘S) and you truly are done. One cleaned up screenshot of an entire webpage.

OH man, Thank you so much for this post. it really helped me and saved a lot of my time.

Thanks for the helpful screen capture. I cannot get the clean up to work. The Shift+Command+I doesn’t work and I cannot get the Control+K to work. Can select the red area but that’s it.

Hoping you can help.

You show us how to capture OTHER web pages but NOT your own? That’s not cool dudes! If its not NOT for you, its not OK for anyone, right?

on Catalina, the part involving Preview to crop the image was a bit different, but I figured it out. Click on the show Markup Toolbar icon, then click on Rectangular Selection, then draw a box around the bit of interest, then click on “crop” in the toolbar. Repeat if needed. Zoom as needed.

Thanks for the insight!

Tried it on the article and when I try to pen saved .png I get message that either file is corrupted or can’t open the file format.

I ran into this also, then I quickly realized the file does not have the .png extension. Recaptured the screen and ensured when renaming the file, I added .png. Opened as a webpage though not as a preview. Still to figure out how to set preview as the default file opener for png files.

I’ve often wanted to do this. However, on this very page, while the initial steps seem to work, the resulting .png is un-openable by Preview or Pixelmator Pro or Quicklook. (“It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.”)

File->Print->Save as PDF, and File->Export as PDF work as expected in Safari (full HTML-rendered page) with the added features of selectable text and extractable images in the PDFs (for those memes y’all). ~Tim~ macOS Big Sur, 11.4 Safari 14.1.1

Awesome tip! These are the articles that make it worthwhile to keep visiting Rocket Yard of OWC. Thanks. BTW an application to do it is Paparazzi! (but it does not work in all cases) https://derailer.org/paparazzi

I just tried that same Apple webpage with Safari 14.1.1 in OS 11.4. Went to File > Export as PDF… and bingo! Got a nice high-res 8.2MB PDF on my desktop instantly. Image is clean, no unexpected margins.

That works! Thank you!

Huh. I just tried that in Mojave with the latest Safari (14.1.2), using this webpage for the test.

I end up with a 20.6mb file ending in .PNG format, but which will not open. It’s either “damaged” or in a format that Preview can’t open.

In most other applications, this function would be easily performed using the Print button, and then Save as PDF. It is truly unfortunate that web developers have blocked the normal Print functionality on the web.

How To Take Full Page Screenshots In Safari For Mac

Safari comes as the default browser on Mac computers. It is a perfectly capable browser and if you prefer using native software instead of downloading third-party browsers, we get it. However, unlike Edge, there is no straightforward built-in tool for capturing full page screenshots in Safari.

We’re not sure if Apple ever plans to introduce the feature in an easier manner, but don’t worry, if capturing full page screenshots is something you’re interested in, there are ways around this problem which we will cover in the guide below, so read on to find out.

Saving Websites As PDFs

What’s interesting about this method is that if you try to take a scrolling screenshot on an iPhone , it actually saves as a PDF, so this method is pretty similar.

Open Safari
Go to the website you want to capture
Click on Show Reader View
From the menu, select File > Export as PDF
Choose the location and name and click Save

Note that because you’re saving it as a PDF file, it is actually not an image file. The upside to this method is that if you have a PDF editor, you can actually make some edits to the file like adding notes. The downside is that it is equally easy for someone else to make the same edits if they have the file, versus images which might be slightly trickier to manipulate seamlessly.

Using Safari’s Developer Tools

Similar to how Google approaches full page screenshots with Chrome, it appears that Apple has also hidden its full page screenshot tool for Safari behind its developer tools.

Click on Develop > Show Web Inspector
In the newly opened window, right click the very first line that reads “html”
Select Capture Screenshot
Save the file

The upside to this method is that if you don’t need to capture the entire page, you can just highlight portions of the code that you want to capture, but that’s assuming you know what you’re looking at. Also, Apple already built-in screen capture tools into macOS that will work in Safari (except it doesn’t do full page captures), so that would be an easier method than this.

Using Awesome Screenshot Extension For Safari

If neither of the options above sound appealing to you, then you might be interested to learn that you can use a browser extension for Safari called Awesome Screenshot that makes the entire process a lot simpler.

Download and install the Awesome Screenshot extension
Once the extension is installed, go to the website you want to capture
Click the extension’s icon and select Capture entire page
You can now make edits to the screenshot if you want
When you’re ready to save it, click the download icon and it’ll save it to your computer

Using TechSmith’s Snagit Desktop Tool

If you don’t mind paying for software, then perhaps TechSmith’s Snagit could be the end-all to all your screenshot needs. This is because Snagit won’t just work with Safari, but it will work across your Mac so in addition to capturing websites, you can use the Snagit tool to capture other screenshots like from applications, games, and so on.

Download and install Snagit
Launch Snagit and click the “All-In-One” tab to the left
Click the Capture button
Select the area of the website you want to capture and click the “Launch a Panoramic Capture” button
Click start and start scrolling down the website and click Stop when you’re done

Keep in mind that Snagit is not free. There is a free trial that you can check out to see if this is what you want, but once the trial is up, you’ll have to pay $50 for a single-user license. It is expensive, but if you think you can get your money’s worth, why not?

How to capture full-length screenshots of web pages using Safari for Mac

Getting a screenshot of the entire length of a web page can be useful for a variety of reasons, whether you’re creating a scrolling mockup for presentation purposes or you recently purchased a font bundle and want to capture the page that shows type specimens of your new treasure trove for future reference.

There’s always the tedious, manual way of doing this: taking a screenshot (shift-command-3), then scrolling down the page in your browser, and repeating the process until you’ve reached the bottom of a web page. Then, you’re likely off to Photoshop to stitch multiple screenshots together. While that method works, it’s not a good use of your time.

There are plenty of standalone apps and browser extensions that can assist with streamlining this process, like Awesome Screenshot , but you might not realize that your Mac’s built-in browser, Safari, has this capability already. You just need to take a few steps to activate it and shoot those screens to your heart’s content.

1. Turn on the Develop menu.

First, launch Safari, select Safari > Preferences from the menu, and go to the Advanced tab. Check the box next to Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar .

2. Browse to your web page of choice.

For this exercise, let’s visit espn.com . It’s got a pretty lengthy home page.

3. Start inspecting.

From the Develop menu, choose Show Web Inspector .

A panel will open at the bottom of your Safari window that might look intimidating, but you don’t need the skills of a developer to get what you need here.

4. Take your shot.

Make sure you’re on the Elements tab in the Web Inspector panel at the bottom of your Safari window. Hover your pointer over the <html> tag. You’ll see almost all of the web page content highlighted.

Control-click or right-click while hovering over the <html> tag. You’ll get a flyout menu, within which you can select Capture Screenshot .

5. Save your shot.

After a second or two, you’ll be prompted to select a location and a filename for your screenshot. Click Save when you’re ready.

6. Edit your shot.

Head to the location on your Mac where you saved the screenshot. Select it by clicking once with your mouse in the Finder, then hit your spacebar to preview it. Chances are, there are a lot of empty containers around the screen image that you’ll want to remove. Click the Edit button at the top right of the window.

From there, click the Crop tool at the top left.

Click and drag the corners of the marquee that appears to crop comfortably to the edges of your screenshot, then click Done at the top right.

You’ve now captured the full length of a web page without any additional software or tools.

How to capture full page screenshots in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on Mac

There are plenty of times when you want to capture and save a screenshot of an entire webpage. It could be a research article, a helpful tutorial, a vertical photo, a shopping site’s product display, or even a lengthy meme.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to take and save a screenshot of a full web page or scrolling screenshot in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox on your Mac.

Screenshot an entire web page – no app required

Important: Most websites use the lazy-loading feature, which loads the image only after you scroll to that point on the page. So, before following these steps, load the web page completely and scroll to its bottom to ensure all images are also visible. After that, take a full-page screenshot.

To accomplish this in Safari, you’ll need to display the Develop tab in the menu bar. If you already have it, you’re a step ahead. If you don’t, here’s how to show it:

Open Safari and click Safari > Settings or Preferences from the menu bar.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Check the box for Show Develop menu in menu bar .

Safari Preferences Advanced Develop Menu

Take your screenshot:

Now, head to the webpage you want to capture and follow these steps.

1) Click Develop > Show Web Inspector from the menu bar. The Inspector will open with the webpage on either the right or the bottom, depending on the default position. This displays the HTML code for the page.

2) Go to the top of the code in the Inspector and right-click the first line beginning with “html”.

3) Select Capture Screenshot from the shortcut menu. It can take several seconds before you see the screen in the next step, so be patient.

4) Choose a location to save the image and optionally rename it.

5) Hit Save .

You can then open the saved image in Preview or your Mac photo editor to see it in full.

To close the Web Inspector in Safari after you capture the shot, just click the X on the top left corner of the panel.

Firefox users will be happy to know that this browser provides the easiest option for capturing a scrolling screenshot. Head to the page you want to capture and follow these steps:

1) Right-click on the page and choose Take a Screenshot .

2) Click Save full page on the top right.

3) Hit Download to save the image or Copy to place it on your clipboard to paste where needed.

And that’s all there is to it! After you choose to Download or Copy the image, the webpage will go back to its original view.

Chrome also makes it pretty simple to snap a full-page screenshot. Visit the webpage you want to capture and do the following:

1) Click the Customize and Control button (three dots) on the top right.

2) Move down to More Tools and pick Developer Tools in the pop-out menu.

3) When the panel opens on the right of the webpage, click the Toggle Device Toolbar button at the top.

4) With your webpage on the left, you can choose to view it as a different device at the top or just leave as Responsive.

5) Click the three dots on the top right of the left-hand panel and select Capture full size screenshot in the menu.

The image will be downloaded for you to grab and open in whichever app you like. You can close the Developer Tools by clicking the X on the top right of that panel.

Use the Awesome Screenshot extension

Start by getting the extension for Safari , Chrome , or Firefox . After that, click the extension icon and choose Capture Full Page > Done > Download .

Safari, the default web browser for Apple devices, offers several methods for capturing screenshots, each with its own unique advantages. In this article, we'll explore three simple and effective ways to take a screenshot on Safari, empowering you to effortlessly capture and save images of web pages, online articles, or any other content you encounter while browsing the internet.

By mastering these screenshot techniques, you'll be equipped to capture and share visual information with ease. Whether you're a student needing to save excerpts from online research, a professional seeking to document web content for presentations, or simply someone who wants to preserve memorable online moments, the ability to take screenshots on Safari will prove to be a valuable skill. So, let's dive into the methods and learn how to capture and save screenshots using Safari on your Apple device.

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Capturing a screenshot on Safari using keyboard shortcuts is a quick and convenient method that allows you to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a selected portion with ease. These keyboard shortcuts are intuitive and can be executed seamlessly, making them a popular choice for many users.

Full Screen Screenshot

To capture the entire screen, simply press the Command + Shift + 3 keys simultaneously. Upon doing so, Safari will instantly capture a screenshot of the entire screen, including the browser window and any open tabs or applications in the background. The captured image will be automatically saved to your desktop, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

Screenshot of a Specific Window

If you wish to capture a screenshot of a specific Safari window, such as a single browser tab, you can do so by pressing Command + Shift + 4 followed by the Spacebar . This combination will transform your cursor into a camera icon, allowing you to click on the desired Safari window to capture a screenshot of it exclusively. Once captured, the image will be saved to your desktop, providing you with a focused snapshot of the selected Safari window.

Custom Selection Screenshot

For scenarios where you only need to capture a specific portion of the Safari window, the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + 4 enables you to create a custom selection screenshot. Upon pressing this combination, your cursor will transform into a crosshair, empowering you to select the exact area of the Safari window that you want to capture. Once the selection is made, releasing the mouse or trackpad will trigger the screenshot to be saved to your desktop, offering you a tailored image of the chosen portion.

By leveraging these keyboard shortcuts, you can efficiently capture screenshots while browsing on Safari, empowering you to preserve and share valuable visual information effortlessly. Whether you need to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection, the keyboard shortcuts in Safari provide a seamless and efficient way to capture and save screenshots, enhancing your browsing experience and productivity.

Method 2: Using the Screenshot Toolbar

Another convenient method for capturing screenshots on Safari is by utilizing the built-in Screenshot Toolbar. This feature, introduced in macOS Mojave and later versions, offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of taking screenshots while browsing. The Screenshot Toolbar provides various options for capturing specific portions of the screen, adding annotations, and even recording video clips, making it a versatile tool for visual documentation.

To access the Screenshot Toolbar while using Safari, simply follow these steps:

Open Safari : Launch the Safari browser and navigate to the web page or content you wish to capture.

Activate the Screenshot Toolbar : Once on the desired page, press the Shift + Command + 5 keys simultaneously. This keyboard shortcut triggers the Screenshot Toolbar to appear at the bottom of the screen, presenting a range of screenshot and recording options.

Select Screenshot Type : Within the Screenshot Toolbar, you can choose from various screenshot options, including capturing the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection. By selecting the appropriate screenshot mode, you can tailor the capture to suit your specific needs.

Customize Screenshot Settings : The Screenshot Toolbar also allows you to customize additional settings, such as setting a timer for delayed captures, choosing the save location for screenshots, and enabling options for showing the mouse pointer in the screenshot.

Capture and Save : Once the desired settings are configured, simply click on the "Capture" button within the Screenshot Toolbar to initiate the screenshot. The captured image will be saved to the designated location, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

The Screenshot Toolbar not only streamlines the process of capturing screenshots on Safari but also offers additional features for annotating and editing the captured images. After taking a screenshot, the Screenshot Toolbar provides options for adding text, shapes, and other annotations to the image, empowering you to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content.

This method provides a modern and intuitive approach to taking screenshots on Safari, catering to a diverse range of visual documentation needs.

Method 3: Using the Preview App

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts and the Screenshot Toolbar, Safari users can also utilize the Preview app, a versatile and feature-rich tool that offers advanced capabilities for capturing and editing screenshots. The Preview app, which comes pre-installed on macOS devices, serves as a powerful image viewing and editing application, and it includes seamless integration with Safari for capturing and annotating screenshots.

To utilize the Preview app for capturing screenshots while browsing on Safari, follow these simple steps:

Access the Preview App : Once on the desired page, navigate to the Applications folder or use Spotlight Search to locate and open the Preview app.

Capture the Screenshot : Within the Preview app, click on the "File" menu and select "Take Screenshot." This action will present options for capturing the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection.

Customize Screenshot Settings : After selecting the desired screenshot mode, the Preview app allows users to customize additional settings, such as setting a timer for delayed captures, choosing the save location for screenshots, and enabling options for showing the mouse pointer in the screenshot.

Annotate and Edit : Once the screenshot is captured, the Preview app provides a comprehensive set of tools for annotating and editing the image. Users can add text, shapes, arrows, and other annotations to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content. Additionally, the app offers features for cropping, resizing, and adjusting the image, empowering users to refine the screenshot according to their preferences.

Save and Share : After annotating and editing the screenshot, users can save the image in their preferred format and share it with others as needed. The Preview app supports various image file formats, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in sharing the captured screenshots.

How to take a screenshot in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

by WEBDOGS August 8, 2019

When collaborating with the WEBDOGS team, helping us “see what you see” is a critical component of sharing feedback. We’ve compiled a list of the most straightforward methods of taking screenshots based on browser and operating systems, further separated by application window or full page.

An “Application Window” screenshot is what the browser actually shows when a page is loaded. In other words, it is the view of a website you’d typically interact with.

A “Full Page” screenshot is a view of the entire page, including parts that are outside of the viewport. This is an especially helpful view to have when communicating desired changes to a page or when needing to get a broader context of the page layout. WEBDOGS typically wouldn’t need this view in the execution of support, but likely would when adding in new features or when receiving feedback on implemented features.

Full page screenshots, browser window only.

Ensure that your browser is that “active window” by clicking anywhere in the browser window.
Press Alt + Print Screen (may also say Prnt Scrn , or another variation). This takes a screenshot of the browser and copies it to the clipboard.
Paste the image into a ticket or email by pressing Ctrl + V .

Entire screen

Press Print Screen (may also say Prnt Scrn , or another variation). This takes a screenshot of the entire screen (i.e. everything displayed on the monitor) and copies it to the clipboard.
Press Shift + ⌘ + 4 and a crosshair appears as the pointer.
Press the spacebar and the crosshair will turn into a camera.
Move the pointer to the target window. As you hover over the window, it will turn blue.
Click the window with trackpad / mouse and the screenshot is automatically saved to the desktop.
Drag and drop the image into your email or Zendesk.
Press Shift + ⌘ + 3
A screenshot of the entire screen (i.e. everything displayed on the monitor) is saved to the desktop.

iPhone X and 2018+ iPad Pro

Press the power button and volume up button at the same time.
The image is saved to the camera roll.
Press the home button and power button at the same time.

Most Android devices

Simultaneously hold the power button and volume down button. Some devices require the buttons be held for “a few” seconds.
The screenshot will be saved to Pictures/Screenshots/ (or DCIM/Screenshots/).

If you’re not able to figure out how to take a screenshot with your Android device, please contact WEBDOGS support for additional help.

How-To Geek

4 ways to take a scrolling screenshot on a mac.

Grab a screenshot of a full web page or document even when it doesn't fit on your screen.

Quick Links

Take full-page screenshots in safari with the develop menu, take a scrolling screenshot with the fireshot safari extension, take screenshots in an online tool, take scrolling screenshots in any app with shottr.

macOS has a built-in tool for taking screenshots, but it can only capture what's actually visible on the screen at any time. What if you need to take a screenshot of an entire web page or lengthy document? Here are the best ways to take scrolling screenshots on a Mac.

Safari has a hidden screen capture tool that you might not know about. It's a bit technical, but is accessible to everyone, and if you only need it for occasional use, this is the simplest option to try.

To access the feature, you first need to enable the Developer Settings in Safari. Go to Safari > Settings > Advanced and click "Show Features for Web Developers".

Exit the settings, and you should see that a "Develop" option has appeared in the Safari menu bar. Now load up the web page you want to screenshot and go to Develop > Show Web Inspector. A panel will open at the bottom of the screen. It looks pretty complicated if you aren't used to it, but don't be put off—you don't need to know what any of it means.

To take your screenshot, make sure the Elements tab is selected at the top of the panel. In the code in the left-hand pane, scroll to the top and right-click on the line that begins "html"—it'll normally be the second line. From the dialog box that opens, click "Capture Screenshot."

You'll now be prompted to choose where to save your image. Click "Save" and you're done.

If you take screenshots of websites regularly, then you'll be better off using an app to handle it. For Safari, you can install an extension to capture scrolling screenshots. The one we like is FireShot, which is free and is also available as an extension for Chrome and other third-party browsers.

Head to FireShot on the Mac App Store and download it by clicking "Get" followed by "Install."

Now open Safari and go to Safari > Settings > Extensions and locate FireShot in the Installed pane. Check the box alongside the name to activate the extension. In the right-hand pane, you can click "Always Allow on Every Website" if you plan to use it a lot. For security reasons, it's better not to do this. You can simply grant permission for the extension to work as and when you need it instead.

Now load up the page you want to screenshot in Safari. You'll see that a FireShot icon has been added to the toolbar alongside the address bar. It'll be grayed out at first, so click the icon and select "Allow for One Day" to give it permission to run.

Click the icon again, followed by "Capture Entire Page." The screenshot will open in a new tab, and you can choose to save it as an image (in the PNG format) or PDF, email it, copy it to your clipboard, or print it.

The other good option for taking full-page screenshots of websites is by using an online tool. This is less convenient in some cases, but it comes with the benefit of being able to share your screenshots between your Mac and another device more easily.

There are many web services that can capture full-screen screenshots of websites. FullPageScreenCapture.com is as good as any. It's free to use and fast, and it assigns a unique URL to every screenshot it saves, so you can access it through any browser on any device.

Simply head to fullpagescreencapture.com and type or paste the URL of the web page you want to save into the box, then click "Capture Now."

It takes a few seconds to process. Once it's done, you'll see the image displayed on the site. Click it to open the image in a new browser tab, then right-click on the image and select either "Save to Desktop" or "Save As."

You can also click in the address bar in Safari and hit Command+C to copy the unique URL for the image and share it with other devices.

Finally, if you need to take a full-page or scrolling screenshot from within any app, not just of a website, you can do this with the third-party app Shottr. You can use it to capture screenshots of PDF files, spreadsheets, documents, large photos, or anything else.

You can use the app for free for as long as you like. After 30 days, it will occasionally ask you if you want to pay for it. You're not obligated to do so, but it only costs $8 and is great value if you use it a lot.

The app isn't available through the Mac App Store. Instead, download it from the official Shottr website and install it to get started .

Launch Shottr, and its icon will appear in your menu bar at the top of the screen where it's always easily accessible. Open the app and content you want to screenshot, then click the Shottr icon and select "Scrolling Capture."

Your mouse pointer will turn into a crosshair. Click in the top-left corner of the area you want to screenshot, then drag to the bottom-right. When you let go of the mouse button, the screen will begin to scroll up. Everything within the width of the rectangle you drew will be captured, right down to the bottom of the page.

Your screenshot will open in a preview window. You can annotate or crop it, or click the Save icon to save it. If you close the preview accidentally, click the Shottr icon and select "Reopen Shottr."

It's easy to take scrolling screenshots on a Mac. Whether you just need a quick tool or a more professional solution, choose the method that's best for you, and you can grab full-page screenshots in any app.

How to Screenshot an Entire Webpage

If you are looking for how to capture a full web page screenshot on Mac or PC, this post for you. I’ve tried a handful of tools and techniques that claim to be able to screenshot an entire webpage, but only a few still work as of this writing.

You want to get this done quickly, so I’ll show you how to do it step by step. I’ll also point out the pros and cons of each method, just wanted to save your time figuring out which method is the best for you.

This guide is for those who want to take a whole screenshot of the entire or long web page — meaning there are sections that aren’t totally visible on your screen.

If you simply want to capture a static window or a full desktop screen, this guide is not for you. You can use the built-in tools on your computer or phone to get that done quickly: Shift + Command + 4 (macOS) or Ctrl + PrtScn (Windows).

Don’t want to download any software or extension? Try Method 1 or Method 7 .
If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, try Method 2 .
If you want to capture the screenshots as well as make simple edits, try Method 3, 5, 6 .

Quick Update : For Mac users, it is even possible to capture a full-sized screenshot without a browser extension. 1. Open DevTools in Chrome (command + option + I) 2. Open the Command Menu (command + shift + P) and type in “screenshot” 3. Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”. 4. The captured image will be downloaded to your computer. — Tip contributed by our reader, Hans Kuijpers.

1. Print and Save an Entire Webpage as a PDF

2. firefox screenshots (for firefox users), 3. parallels toolbox for mac (safari), 4. awesome screenshot plugin (for chrome, firefox, safari), 5. capture a scrolling window or entire page with snagit, 6. capto app (for mac only), 7. capture a full-size screenshot on chrome without a browser extension, 8. web-capture.net, 9. full page screen capture (chrome extension), 10. paparazzi (mac only).

Suppose you want to extract, say, an Income Statement sheet from Yahoo Finance. First, open the page on a web browser. Here, I use Chrome on my Mac as an example.

Step 1: On the Chrome menu, click File > Print.

Step 2: Click the “Save” button to export the page into a PDF file.

Step 3: If you want to embed the financial sheet into a PowerPoint project, you may need to convert the PDF into an image in PNG or JPEG format first, then crop the image only to include the data part.

It’s quick.
No need to download any third-party software.
The screenshot quality is good.
Extra time may be needed to convert the PDF file into an image.
It’s difficult to directly customize the screenshots.

Firefox Screenshots is a new feature developed by the Mozilla team to help you take, download, collect and share screenshots. You can use this feature to quickly save a screenshot of an entire web page.

Step 1: Click on the Page actions menu in the address bar.

Step 2: Select the “Save Full Page” option.

Step 3: Now you can choose to download the image directly to your computer desktop.

Side note : I saw that this feature is still in BETA, so it’s not guaranteed that Firefox will keep it. But by the time this post was last updated, this feature is still accessible. Also, the most popular web browser like Apple Safari or Google Chrome doesn’t offer this feature yet.

If you want to take a scrolling screenshot on Mac, you’ll love this feature called “Screenshot Page” in Parallels Toolbox which includes a handful of small utilities.

Note: Parallels Toolbox is not freeware, but it offers a 7-day trial without any functional limitations.

Step 1: download Parallels Toolbox and install the app on your Mac. Open it and find Take Screenshots > Screenshot Page .

Step 2: Click on Screenshot Page and it will take you to another window asking to add an extension to Safari. Once you enable it, you’ll see this icon show up on your Safari browser.

Step 3: Select the page you want to screenshot and click on the Parallels Screenshot icon, it will then automatically scroll your page and take a screenshot and save as a PDF file on your desktop.

The quality of the output PDF file is very good.
You don’t have to scroll manually as the app will do it for you.
Besides screenshotting a webpage, you can also capture an area or window.
It takes a bit of time to install the app.
It’s not freeware, though a 7-day no limitation trial is provided.

Awesome Screenshot has a plugin that can capture all or part of any web page. Also, it allows you to edit the screenshots: You can comment, add annotations, blur sensitive information, etc. The plugin is compatible with major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Here are the links to add the plugin:

Firefox (Note: since the Firefox Screenshots is now available, I don’t recommend this plugin any longer. See method 2 for more.)

I’ve tested the plugin on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and they all work well. To make things easier, I’ll use Google Chrome as an example. The steps for using Awesome Screenshot for Firefox and Safari are quite similar.

Step 1: Open the above Chrome link and click “ADD TO CHROME.”

Step 2: Hit “Add extension.”

Step 3: Once the extension icon shows up on the Chrome bar, click on it and select the “Capture entire page” option.

Step 4: Within a few seconds, that web page scrolls down automatically. A new page will open up (see below), showing you the screenshot with an editing panel that allows you to crop, annotate, add visuals, etc. Click “Done” when you’re finished.

Step 5: Hit the “download” icon to save the screenshot image. That’s it!

Extremely easy to use.
Image editing features are great.
It’s compatible with major web browsers.
The extension may encounter some operational issues, according to its developer. I haven’t experienced any such issues yet.

I really like Snagit ( review ). It’s a powerful screen capture and editing app that allows you to do almost anything related to screenshotting. To take a full screenshot of a web page, follow the steps below (I’ll use Snagit for Windows as an example):

Please note: Snagit is not freeware, but it has a 15-day free trial.

Step 1: Get Snagit and install it on your PC or Mac. Open the main capture window. Under Image > Selection , make sure you choose “Scrolling Window.” Hit the red Capture button to continue.

Step 2: Locate the web page you want to screenshot, then move the cursor to that area. Now Snagit will be activated, and you’ll see three yellow arrow buttons moving. The bottom arrow represents “Capture Vertical Scrolling Area,” the right arrow represents “Capture Horizontal Scrolling Area,” and the bottom-right corner arrow represents “Capture Entire Scrolling Area.” I clicked on the “Capture Vertical Scrolling Area” option.

Step 3: Now Snagit scrolls the page automatically and captures the off-screen parts. Soon, a Snagit Editor panel window will pop up with the screenshot it just took. See the available editing features listed there? That’s why Snagit stands out from the crowd: You can make as many changes as you’d like, with tons of options.

It’s able to capture a scrolling webpage as well as a window.
Powerful image editing features.
Very intuitive and easy to use.
It takes time to download and install the app (~90MB in size).
It’s not free, though it comes with a 15-day trial.

Capto is a productivity app for many Mac users, myself included. The core value of the app is to record screen videos on your Mac, but it also allows you to capture screenshots and save the images to its library. You then can easily edit, organize and share them.

Note: Similar to Snagit, Capto is also not freeware but it does offer a trial that you can take advantage of.

Here’s how to take an entire screenshot using Capto:

Step 1: Open the app and on the top of the menu, click on the “Web” icon. There you can choose to snap the URL of a webpage in different ways. For example, if you’re already on the page, simply click “Snap Active Browser URL”

Step 2: You can also edit the screenshot e.g. highlight an area, add an arrow or text, etc. using the tools on the left panel.

Step 3: Now Capto will extract the page elements and save an image to its library. You then select File > Export to save it locally.

Note: if you select to let Capto snap a web page from the active browser, this may take some time in case of a longer webpage.

Other Methods

During my exploration, I also found a few other working methods. I don’t want to feature them above because they aren’t as good considering the time and effort you need to invest and the quality of output. Nonetheless, they do work, so feel free to give some of them a try.

This tip was kindly shared by one of our readers, Hans Kuijpers.

Open DevTools in Chrome (OPTION + CMD + I)
Open the Command Menu (CMD + SHIFT + P) and type in “screenshot”
Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”.
The captured image will be downloaded to your computer.

It’s an online full-length website screenshot service. You first open the website , copy the URL of a web page you want to screenshot, and paste it here (see below). You can also choose which file format to export. Press “Enter” on your keyboard to continue.

Be patient. It took me about two minutes before I saw the message, “Your link has been processed! You can download file or ZIP archive.” Now you can download the screenshot.

No need to install any software.
Tons of ads on its website.
The screenshotting process is slow.
No image editing features.

Similar to Awesome Screenshot, Full Page Screen Capture is a Chrome plugin that is incredibly easy to use. Just install it ( here’s the link to its extension page) on your Chrome browser, locate the web page you want to capture and hit the extension icon. A screenshot is made almost instantly. However, I found it less appealing because it does not have the image editing features that Awesome Screenshot has.

Update: this app hasn’t been updated for quite a long time, there may be compatibility issues with the latest macOS. I thus don’t recommend it anymore.

Paparazzi! is a Mac utility designed and developed by Nate Weaver specifically for making screenshots of web pages. It’s quite intuitive. Just copy and paste the webpage link, define the image size or delay time, and the app will return the result for you. Once that’s done, click the download icon located on the bottom-right corner to export the screenshot.

The main concern I have is that the app was last updated quite a few years ago, so I’m not sure if it will be compatible with future macOS versions.

These are the different ways to take screenshots for a full or scrolling webpage. Like I said in the quick summary section, different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to choose the one that best fits your needs. I’ll leave it to you to choose which one(s) to use.

As always, if you’ve got any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Hey JP, it’s a great and insightful post for me. The way you have structured all the information with pros and cons about each way to take screenshots of a webpage is commendable. I liked Snagit- allowing me to capture a screenshot while scrolling windows and take a screenshot without using chrome extension on chrome. I appreciate your effort.

@Hans – that’s the most brilliant tip. I had no idea! Thank you!

Thanks! – What i have been looking for. Do you know a software to put a link in, so it will fit in the correct pixel?

Brilliant Firefox, quick as a snap of my fingers! Thank you very much for sharing!

Dear JP, I can’t get Awesome Screenshot with Safari. After the Sept 2019 update to Safari it no longer works. This drives me crazy. It was a great tool. And why can’t Safari & Mac make it work? I also can’t get “command+shift+4” to create a crosshair for taking a shot. Any suggestions? I would be so grateful. I currently have to bring up Preview to take a screenshot.

Many, many thanks, JP! Firefox worked brilliantly! Super easy! Exactly what I needed (as I didn’t want to install Chrome). Thank you so much for posting all this thorough information. Cheers from Australia!

I was using Awesome screen shot for years with Safari but now with the latest Update to Safari (Sept 2019) it no longer works (Mac gave me a notice that this plugin wouldn’t work any more.) I hope they update it. It was a great tool to quickly get a full page screen shot.

Very helpful, however I find the quality of the image (using Methods 3 and 7) was not very good, compared to what we get if we use the snipping tool for part of a website. Should we just expect that free tools aren’t going to have very good resolution?

I also found that both methods didn’t capture the full page of one website, but it was a training one, and I had to pay to access it … could it be that they set up the web page to limit how much of the screen you could capture (it got about 2/3 of it).

Thanks again,

That’s amazing! So many methods! Thanks very much! But there’s a problem after installing the plugin on safari according to the link. They didn’t work except the first option “Capture Visible Part of Page”. Besides, I can’t remove it just as the awesome screenshot on Chrome. There is no “remove” option.

Great article, thanks. Got the first one for both Safari and Chrome and I use it all the time now in Chrome. Works real well like an app so it feels natural too. Thanks again!

Nice researching and great sharing. Very very helpful!! Thank you very much!!

no 3-dot icon/button (Page Actions menu), or screenshot option, anywhere I could find in my Firefox 65.0.1

None of that in my 3 horizontal line “Open menu” option, either.

Can anyone guide me to this?

GrabzIt provides a free online screenshot tool that allows you to convert any webpage to a full length screenshot on demand or to a schedule.

https://grabz.it/screenshot-tool/

I want to capture excels and want scrolling both ways , down and right…can anybody please suggest which will e the best tool for this.

Thanks Inn advance!

Hey JP – YES! Time for a refresh on what still works. Tons of articles out there, some that were posted as far back as 2007.

A few notes:

Papparazzi – Worked for me sometimes. For longer pages it sometimes stalled out.

Fireshot – I nabbed this Chrome extension when Paparazzi wasn’t working smoothly. Works well and is easy to save to either PDF or JPG. But had trouble from time to time when the web page was a sprawling long one with lots of images.

Web-Capture – This is what I fall back on when all else fails. Even tho it can take a bit of time for longer pages, it usually gets them right.

Thanks for the notes!

Hi I’m trying to take scrolling screen shot of “pop-up” on my web browsers (Chrome & safari). None of the popular extensions are helping me to do that. Any suggestions?

PS: Workaround I’m using right now is to copy the visible section of the pop-up and scroll, repeat the process till the entire pop-up is covered.

Regards, Ravi

Great article. Very helpful! Thanks!

You are welcome. Glad that you find it helpful 🙂

It is even possible to capture a full sized screenshot without a browser extension. – Open DevTools in Chrome (OPTION + CMD + I) – Open the Command Menu (CMD + SHIFT + P) and type in “screenshot” – Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”. – That’s it… the captured image will be downloaded to your computer

Thanks for sharing that, Hans. 🙂

On my extremely long webpage it failed to capture the whole page. So probably there is a upper limit to how long a webpage you can capture with this tool.

By far the best solution for Chrome.

Thanks, that’s so useful – Awesome screenshot always captures sticky menus and repeats them down the screencap which is so annoying – this fixes that!

It’s not working for scrolling webpage

Awesome Hans!

Nice trick! Love it!! But I cannot get the “whole” page. For example, I tried on this page and only got to “4. Capture a Scrolling Window or Entire page with Snagit” section…

maybe it only happens to my computer?

This helped me so much, thank you!

Yeah, just get Snagit. It was by far the easiest way to get a scrolling screenshot!

Browser: Any

Go to Screenshot Guru

Screenshot Guru is a great way to grab a screenshot of any web page. You simply visit Screenshot Guru, put the URL into the text box, and let it do its thing. It couldn’t be easier to use. It has some downsides due to the fact that you can’t take screenshots of anything that requires a login. If you put your Gmail URL in, the site isn’t going to be able to take a full-page screenshot. Though you can use the web page version on any browser, you can add the function to Chrome as an extension.

Advantages of Screenshot Guru:

Super simple to take screenshots using your browser

Hi-res images captured directly on the website

How to screenshot the entire page on a Mac with a built-in browser tool

Best for: Precise dimensions

Browser: Google Chrome

Can you capture a web page without using a third-party app or software? Yes! If you use Google Chrome, you should definitely try the developer tools as a screenshotting service.

This trick is well-known to developers because they’re familiar with all the secrets of HTML. Now you can be one of those in the know!

But first, let’s check the pros and cons of using the developer tools.

Advantages of using developer tools:

No installation required

The width and height of the screenshot can be customized

Disadvantages of using developer tools:

You will need to spend more time on set up

No editing tools

You can only download the screenshot to your desktop because there’s no shareable link

Step 1. Open developer tools

To open developer tools, hit the three dots in the right top corner of the browser. You can also press Alt + Command + I .

Now go to More Tools and choose Developer Tools .

Step 2. Customize the size

Open the Device Toolbar tab. Here you can set the size of the screenshot. If you’re working on a design project, you may find it helpful to make a screenshot of the web page using different devices.

Step 3. Take a Screenshot

Close to the size settings, you’ll see three dots. Hit them, and the screenshot drop-down menu will appear.

Select Capture full size screenshot .

Finally, choose the folder and save the image to your computer.

How to take a full-page screenshot on a Mac with a desktop program

Best for: Capturing video and still images

Mac App Store rating: 4.4 out of 5, 292 reviews

Download Capto

You may find it more convenient to use desktop software for making screenshots. Traditionally, such apps offer many more options than regular extensions or online capture services. Apart from screenshotting a web-page, you can use Capto to capture other screen acivity, e.g. to take a picture from a video . The most significant advantage is the availability of image editing tools and video recording options that make the app much more flexible.

Let us introduce Capto which is designed specifically for Mac.

Advantages of Capto:

Multi-functionality
High-quality support
Continuous updates and program improvements

Disadvantages of Capto:

Audio recording is unreliable

Note that Capto has a 7-day trial period, so you can try making screenshots with this app first by following these steps.

Step 1. Launch the program

Install Capto on your computer and launch the program.

Step 2. Run the screenshotting function

In the top menu, hit the Web icon. In the drop-down menu, select one of the screenshot options. If you’ve already opened the page you want to capture, choose the last item – Snap active browser URL .

Step 3. Edit the image and save it

In the preview window, you can crop your screenshot and add arrows or highlights to it.

The Firefox browser has a hidden feature tucked away in the developer tools that allows you to take full-size screenshots of any web page. This feature captures the entire page, similar to a scrolling screenshot, without using a third-party extension.

Before, almost all browsers didn’t have this feature. Now you can make a full-page screenshot in Mozilla Firefox, Google, and Safari. Also using different devices. Making a full-page screenshot is available even using the iPhone, but it’s only possible in Safari.

What to do to create a full-page screenshot in Mozilla

Now every browser offers a similar feature, but Mozilla Firefox makes it easier to create a full-page screenshot. It only takes a couple of clicks, whereas in Google Chrome you have to go into the developer tools section. In Safari, the algorithm of actions consists of several steps in the settings section. Using iPhone to make a full-page screenshot you need only 2 clicks unlike on Mac.

To make a full-page screenshot in Mozilla Firefox you need to follow these steps:

The first step is to open the site you want in Firefox .
After that, you need to open the developer tools. To do this, click the F12 button or hold down the keys Ctrl + Shift + I .

To take a screenshot, you need to click on the camera icon on the developer’s toolbar.

After these steps, your full-page screenshot will be saved automatically to the folder specified for downloads. Your full-page screenshot will look like this:

It depends on your settings because you can also choose a folder to save to. After that, open the screenshot and make any changes if you want, add annotations or crop it to your desired size.

What to do to create a full-page screenshot in Safari on Mac

That is, you won’t be able to make a full-page screenshot on your iPhone in Mozilla, Google Chrome, or any other browser. The algorithm of your actions won’t differ from the usual screenshot. To create a full-page screenshot in Safari on iPhone you need:

The first step is to open the desired site in Safari .
After that, hold down the power button and the volume up button . If your iPhone has a Touch ID, press the Power and Home buttons at the same time.

cmd-shft-4 brings up cross hairs so you can select a part of the screen, it then saves a file to your desktop of the screen grab. I prefer the screen grab to go to clipboard, so I can just paste it where I need it, rather then clutter my desktop with lots of screen grab files. By default, getting it to clipboard is Cmd-ctrl-shift-4...which is a struggle with my big hands. In order to make this easier I changed the keyboard shortcut by... System Preferences / Keyboard Then click on the 'Shortcuts' tab Select 'Screen Shots' on the left hand side It shows you the four different options available...you can re-assign the key combination shortcut so your favourite one is easy to remember. To do this, just click where the bit of the screen where the current shortcut is shown and press you new key combination to reassign it. I used to use Grab, but this shortcut is now my preferred method as it's much quicker.

Taking full-page screenshot is not an easy task. Printing to PDF fails most of the times. macOS Grab app (Cmd+Shift+4) works only on the visible part of the browser window. Third party apps may help, but the one I tried (Web Snapper) produced unreliable results (just try a Macupdate page) and it's no longer supported by developers. I found that Firefox has a built-in function to take full-page screenshots, which works great. You just hit Shift+F5 (to open Developer Tools) and then click on the Camera toolbar icon . Voilà, your web page screenshot will appear in the Downloads folder. To put the Camera icon on the Developer Tools toolbar, click on the dev.tools settings (gear) icon and turn on "Take a screenshot of the entire page".

I don't know if it's 100% faithful to what Mobile Safari would actually produce but it seems to be; it's certainly more accurate than Chrome's attempt. P.S.

I know this is an older thread, however I just found Google chrome has a few extensions that do what you are looking to do and some of them allow you to save the file as a pdf or png.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to take full page screenshots in safari on iphone & ipad.

Have you ever wanted to take a full webpage screenshot in Safari on iPhone or iPad? Now you can do exactly that with the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, where you’re able to snap full page screenshot and save it as a PDF file, which can then be shared, saved locally, edited, printed, or anything else you’d like to do with it.

Android smartphones have had the ability to capture scrolling screenshots for quite a while now. Also known as full page or long screenshots, this feature allows users to take a screenshot of an entire web page and share it with anyone, which is a lot more convenient than taking multiple screenshots. Until now, iOS had lacked this functionality, but you don’t have to feel like you’re left out anymore. With iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and later, Apple allows you to take full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad, though the feature is limited to the Safari web browser .

Are you one of those iOS users who felt like you were missing out on such a nifty feature? Look no further, because in this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can take full page screenshots using Safari on iPhone and iPad. Let’s get right to it.

Since this feature was introduced alongside recent iOS versions, you need to make sure your iPhone and iPad is running iOS 13 / iPadOS 13 or later. Capturing full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad is fairly similar to taking any regular screenshot , except you have to choose a specific option that saves the whole web page as a file. Here’s how this works:

Open “Safari” web browser from the home screen of your iPhone and iPad, then visit a website or webpage you want to take a full page screenshot of.

Next, tap on the thumbnail of the screenshot in the bottom corner of the screen to bring up the markup and sharing option menu for that screen shot

How to take a full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad in Safari

Now that you’ve taken a full webpage screenshot in Safari, you might be wondering how to locate that full page screenshot on the iPhone or iPad. That’s what we’ll discuss next.

How to Find and Share Full Page Screenshots on iPhone & iPad

Unlike regular screenshots that get saved to Photos app as a PNG file, “Full Page” screenshots get saved as a PDF file that can be accessed using the Files app on your iPhone and iPad. Simply follow the steps below to find and share your screenshots.

Those are the steps that you need to follow in order to snap, find, and share your Full Page screenshots.

The brief video below shows the process of taking full page screenshots on an iPhone; taking the screenshot, tapping the thumbnail, selecting ‘Full Page’ from the tab options, then tapping on ‘Done’ so you can save the full webpage screenshot as a PDF file to your device or elsewhere (you can also share it directly from that screen).

Prior to this feature being native to screenshots in the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, your only option was to grab multiple screenshots and stitch them together using a third-party application from the App Store, but having this feature built in is much more convenient.

Apple took some time to bring these full page scrolling screenshots to iOS devices, but now that it’s here it’s quite useful particularly for anyone who works with the web, or even if you just want to save a webpage locally.

The feature is not perfect however, as it only applies to Safari thus far and you can’t really use other third-party web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Focus, etc for capturing Full Page screenshots with this technique. Thus if you don’t use Safari for browsing on iPhone or iPad, you’re out of luck for easy full page screenshots.

Additionally, while you can snap full webpage screenshots, you can’t take Full Page screenshots within other apps like Mail, Facebook, Instagram, etc (yet at least, but perhaps that will arrive in a future version of iOS and iPadOS?).

Finally, remember that all of these full page screenshots aren’t really images, but instead they’re saved as PDF files. That may be inconvenient to access and share compared to JPEG and PNG files like regular screenshots, but it also may be a necessity for capturing the full length of a webpage and being able to view it properly.

This is a cool but useless feature unless the screenshot is saved as, well, a screenshot (JPG or PNG). Saving it as a PDF is useless. PDFs don’t show up in Photos and so can’t be shared via Messages.

Linda! Thank you for this. I have IPhone XS and and a 13 iOS. This works only if you search for website in Safari. If you are in Google (which I do almost exclusively even though my son tells me not to) you will NOT get the full page tab. Search for the website you want In the Safari browser not in Google.

I have the same problem with mr.Carlos. Only part of the full website is captured, maybe there’s a limitation of how long you can captured..

This would be great……..if it worked properly! Having gone through the steps as instructed, the saved webpage is incomplete. Realising that each part of the page generated as I scrolled down, I let that happen before taking the screenshot. It worked….in part. Half of the webpage is missing. I haven’t been able to solve this issue. So, useless!

Great tip. As well as in Safari, I have been able to use this in Apple’s iOS/iPadOS Mail and Numbers apps.

I use the Tailor app. Saves to your Photos. I like that better then as a PDF.

Here is how to snap a full webpage screenshot with iPhone or iPad:

– Open Safari

– Go to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad (press Volume Up and Power, or Home button + Power, depends on your device)

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

– You can then use the Share option to send it to someone directly, or to email it or save it

– If you tap on Done you will have the immediate option to “Save as PDF” to save the entire webpage screenshot as a PDF file

There you have it. This is a great feature.

This did not work for me with an iPhone XS MAX. Tried it a couple of times and all I get is the screen to power off the phone.

Nedda, after you take the screenshot of the webpage in Safari, immediately tap on the thumbnail icon of the screenshot that appears in the corner of the screen. Then you’ll be in the markup screen where you can select “Full Page” to snap the full webpage screenshot.

Hope that helps!

I tried it .. just upgrade to 13.3.1 . and when i hit those two buttons it takes a snapshot and doesn’t give me any options for Full or not

It’s hidden behind the editing toolbar. Slide the toolbar out of the way and you’ll see the missing menu

IPad Pro (first version) iPadOS 13.3.1. Safari Sorry Linda but this does not work here. I just get a screenshot saved in photos.

Hi, not working on iPad Air running iOS 13…don’t get the tabs, just takes screenshot

Tap on the thumbnail after you take the screenshot in Safari, that’s how you access the the tabs to choose the full page screenshot option!

I am running IOS 13.3 on an iPhone XR, this feature is not present!

On my iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, using Power + Home button in Safari, I only get the standard prtscrn image.

I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, I use Power button + Home on Safari, and I only get the standard printscreen to image.

How can I stop getting mail from my old discontinued Blackberry account?

Be aware you must choose FULL PAGE very quick on an iPad or in a blink it defaults to screen.

Finally! Long overdue feature.

So will I not be able to take a photo? I want to be able to create a jpg in Safari.

I have an Xr iPhone with the very latest and tabs do not show either.

This is a great tip! Thanks a lot Paul 😊

The “two tabs” shown in step 3 do not appear on an iPhone 8 or an iPhone X. Are you sure this isn’t just a trick for iPhone 11?

Positively this is for every iPhone or iPad that runs the latest iOS / ipadOS releases. If you’re not using Safari or on iOS 13 or later you will not have this full page screen shot option however.

No, the “two tabs” do not appear on my iPhone X either. I am running the latest 13.3.1 software

You neglected to tell people to click on the thumbnail screenshot image (before it disappears) that was created by pressing the button combinations in step 2.

Only then will the options in step 3 be available.

I agree with Fulano. I am running ios13 on my iPhone X and this functionality does not exist.

I’m running iOS 13 on my iPhone X and iPadOS 13.4 on iPad and the functionality DOES EXIST, there is an extra step that some of you are missing however. Here is how you do this:

– Open Safari

– GO to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

There you have it, doing it right now as we speak!

This is a feature that Apple openly talks about on their own website and it’s a good one. Remember to tap that thumbnail in Safari after the screenshot, that’s how you can select FULL PAGE!

I, too, had trouble finding the tabs at first. There’s a step missing: the tabs are in the temporary screenshot that appears at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad screen. Tap on that temporary image and you will see the tabs and be able to follow the rest of the instructions.

How to Take Full-Page Screenshots in Safari on iOS

Most web pages don't fit in a single screenshot, but this iPhone feature lets you save them to a scrollable PDF instead.

In iOS 13 and later, iPhones and iPads can take scrolling screenshots that capture entire webpages in Safari. The best part is that it's almost exactly like taking a standard screenshot. But, instead of saving a screen-sized image, you save the full page as a scrollable PDF.

Here’s how to take scrolling screenshots in Safari.

How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot of a Webpage

To take a scrolling screenshot of a full webpage in Safari, follow these steps:

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage you want to screenshot.

Press the volume up button and the power button simultaneously to take a screenshot. If your iPhone has a Home button, press the Home button and the power button instead. (Learn how to take screenshots without a power button .)

Tap the Full Page option in the toggle near the top of the screen.

The view will change slightly to show the top portion of the scrolling screenshot and, next to it, a miniaturized overview of the entire screenshot down the side. You can scroll the main view of the screenshot by swiping up and down with two fingers.

Dragging the highlighted box on the miniaturized view to the right lets you quickly move the screenshot.

While you’re viewing the screenshot, crop it by tapping the Crop button (which looks like a square with overlapping lines) in the top toolbar. You can also edit it using the markup tools along the bottom of your iPhone’s screen.

When you’re finished cropping and marking up the screenshot, tap the Share button to save it to Files or send it to another app. Your iPhone will save the full webpage as a long, single-page PDF document.

If you want to delete the screenshot without saving it, tap Done and then tap Delete Screenshot .

Other apps can support the full-page screenshot feature, too. Apple’s Mail app is one example; however, it saves a paginated PDF rather than a scrollable single-page file.

One Screenshot Is Better Than Two

Previously, iOS users depended on third-party scrolling screenshot apps to share long webpages. Now, the feature is built right into iOS and works just like a standard screenshot. Once you’ve learned this skill, there are even more ways of taking screenshots on an iPhone to discover.

Simple Ways to Open Safari in Full-Screen Every Time on Mac

Last Updated: September 5, 2023 Fact Checked

Making Safari Full-Screen

Do you want Safari to fill the screen instead of looking like a window every time you open it? Fortunately, you're just a few menu clicks away from that! By default, Safari will open as a window, but this wikiHow article teaches how to have Safari on your Mac open in full-screen all the time!

Things You Should Know

Maximize Safari by clicking the green icon and selecting "Enter Full Screen."
Alternatively, use keyboard shortcuts like "Cmd + Ctrl + F" to make Safari full-screen.
Once Safari is in full-screen mode, go to "System Settings > General" and uncheck the box next to "Close windows…"

Alternatively, press a keyboard shortcut to enter Full Screen without using your mouse. For macOS Big Sur and earlier, press Cmd + Ctrl + F . For macOS Monterey and later, press Fn + F . [2] X Research source Press those shortcut buttons again or Esc to close full-screen.
Move your mouse over areas to reveal hidden objects when Safari is full screen. For example, the Dock is hidden when you use Safari in full screen. Simply make it appear again by moving your mouse to wherever your Dock is.

If you're using an older version of macOS, "System Settings" will instead be "System Preferences."

If you're using an older macOS version, this is a checkbox in "General" instead. Make sure it's unchecked so your Safari windows will not be closed when you quit the application.
Press Cmd + Q to quit Safari without closing any windows. If you go to your open windows and close them with "Cmd + W," then you won't be able to restore that window by opening Safari again. Instead, press Cmd + Q to be able to re-open that window in full-screen mode whenever you open Safari.

Expert Q&A

If you're using an iPad and split-screen is causing your Safari to take up only half the screen, disable it by dragging the grey line. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
If you're using an iPhone, use desktop mode for Safari to access options you don't have using mobile-mode. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
