How to screenshot a full page on iPhone and iPad

Learn how to screenshot a full page on iPhone and iPad

There are so many hidden iOS features that it can be a challenge remembering them all, but knowing how to screenshot a full page on iPhone is one I've never forgotten. 

As a writer, I often find myself needing to screenshot large chunks of text from websites and articles to send to someone or read later. And while my iPhone 13 Pro Max has an enviable screen size, my stomach turns slightly at the thought of having to screenshot 25 pages of long-form text individually, ensuring nothing is missed, before sending each screenshot one by one.

Fortunately for me, Apple has thought about this, giving any device running iOS an easy way to capture a full page with just a couple of clicks. So read on and I'll show you how to use the full page screenshot feature on iPhone and iPad to capture and share an entire Safari page in one go. 

How to screenshot a full page on iPhone and iPad

1. Open Safari and head over to a webpage you want to screenshot. Simultaneously press the Side and Volume Up buttons to take a screenshot. A thumbnail preview box will appear in the bottom-left of the screen.

If you have an iPad, it's pretty much the same, but you'll need to press the Lock button and Volume Up simultaneously . 

2. Tap the screenshot preview box , then tap Full Page at the top. 

3. Scroll the page using the bar on the right of the screen.

4. Tap Crop to shorten the screenshot. Select a tool from the Mark Up bar and use your digit to mark up the screenshot as required, for example highlighting or encircling sections of text.

5. When you're ready, click Done , then tap Save PDF to Files to store your screenshot for later. Alternatively, hit Share to send the PDF to someone instantly via email or direct message.

So, you now know how to screenshot an entire page on both iPhone and iPad. It's little everyday features like this, designed to make your life easier, that turn your average smartphone or tablet into one of the best phones or best tablets out there.

It's worth nothing that this screenshot feature only works in Safari, and can't be used in other apps. As Safari is the browser I use most of the time, I rarely need this feature anywhere else, but it would be nice to see it rolled out to other apps in the future.

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 .

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

You can use the excellent Awesome Screenshot extension to capture full-page screenshots inside any popular browser.

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

Note: For Safari, you will have to first:

• Allow screen recording permission: Once the app is downloaded, open it and click Go to Screen Recording Setting . It will take you to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording. From here, enable the switch for Awesome Screenshot & Recorder and confirm. After that, click Quit & Reopen .
• And enable the extension: Go to Safari Settings > Extensions and check the box for Awesome Screenshot before its icon appears in the top left of the address bar.

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.

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

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 Screenshot An Entire Webpage on Mac

In iOS, Apple's Safari browser includes a built-in screenshot feature that lets you capture entire webpages on your iPhone or iPad for sharing elsewhere.

Note that in step 4, you can drag or click on the page to select a region and then save just that region by clicking Download , or you can save just the visible area of the page by clicking Save visible in the top-right corner.

Tip: You can also customize the Firefox toolbar to add a Screenshot button. Click the Menu button (three lines) in the top-right corner of the browser window. A special tab will open, where you can drag and drop items in or out of the overflow menu and the toolbar. Simply drag the Screenshot item (the cutting scissors icon) to the toolbar, then click Done .

Scrolling Screenshots: How to Screenshot an Entire Webpage on an iPhone

Capturing whatever is currently on your screen is simple: just press the side button and volume up button on your iPhone and you will take an internal picture of your screen and send a PNG file to your Recents album. But what if you want to take a longer screenshot that exceeds the length of your iPhone screen? 

Why is a longer screenshot useful? To prevent the confusion of referencing or sharing multiple files such as:

• Conversations
• Recipes and Instructions
• Comment Threads
• To-Do Lists

You could take multiple screenshots and stitch them together using a third-party app. (We’ll discuss screenshots-stitching apps and when they might come in handy later in this article.)

Or you can take a scrolling screenshot natively in fewer steps as long as you are capturing content in Apple’s first-party apps like Safari, Mail, or iMessage. Just follow these steps if you are using iOS 14 or later on your iPhone. 

How to screenshot an entire document, email, or webpage

Note that iPhone scrolling screenshots get saved as PDFs unlike a one-page screenshot, which gets saved as a PNG.:

• Press the side button and the volume up button simultaneously to take a screenshot of what is currently displayed on your screen. 
• Before it disappears, tap the thumbnail of the captured screenshot to open the viewer in the lower left corner of your screen.
• Tap “Full Page” in the top right corner (the full page option only appears when your content exceeds your screen,

• Preview all the pages and add markup as needed.
• Crop the full-page screenshot in case you only want a portion of it.  
• Tap Done > Save to PDF  or tap the share icon to send it straight away.   

And there you go. You only need to take one screenshot to capture multiple pages of an email thread, document, or webpage. If you prefer an image to a PDF file format, scroll down to read about third-party apps you can use instead.

Tip: When taking a full screenshot of a webpage, enter the reader view (if the website supports it) to avoid advertisements. You can even change your browser settings to enter reader view automatically on every webpage you visit. 

How to screenshot a text conversation

if you want to take a long screenshot within a messaging app (iMessage, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram), I do not recommend using the full page feature. You will be stuck with a very long, inconvenient screenshot that captures the entire chat history. 

You have two options: Take a screen recording instead (the file will be in video format), or use a third-party app to stitch individual screenshots together

Third-party apps to capture scrolling screenshots

And though Apple’s built-in full page screenshotting capability is nice, there are times when it isn’t available. The following screenshot-stitching apps are great if you want to:

• Take a scrolling screenshot in a web browser other than Safari
• Make a compilation of screenshots from various apps stitched together such as a webpage + a text + a receipt
• Make a scrolling screenshot of a conversation in any messaging app.

The coolest part about these apps is that they automatically stitch out the overlapping areas of your screenshots to create one seamless screenshot.

Picsew 🔗

Designed for iPad and iPhone. Picsew features “scroll-shotting” with voiceover, redaction, markup, and watermarks. And it’s ad-free.

Tailor 🔗

Designed for iPhone.

Taking a longer screenshot on the spot is possible with the full-page feature as long as you are using an Apple first-party app. This works well for documents, email threads, and web pages. Screenshotting texts longer than a page can be a pain, but there are third-party apps that get the job done in just a few short steps.

We hope this tutorial has been helpful to you in navigating the features on your iPhone. Leave us a comment if you have any questions or tips of your own to share.

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.

Introduction

Taking a screenshot is a handy skill that allows you to capture and save a snapshot of what's displayed on your screen. Whether you want to preserve a memorable moment, share information with others, or keep a record of important details, knowing how to take a screenshot on Safari can be incredibly useful. 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.

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.

Method 3: Using the Preview App

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.

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.

The simplest and easiest way to save an entire webpage is to create a PDF. The only drawback to this method is that the webpage will appear on multiple pages, as opposed to just one very long image.

The Awesome Screenshot plugin is available on most web browsers and is extremely easy to use. The difference between this method and saving as a PDF is that this will save the webpage as one very long image. First, go ahead and download the plugin. On Safari, go to Safari in the top menu and click Safari Extensions , on Chrome and Firefox you can just Google “Awesome Screenshot Plugin” and download it directly from the web.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of websites and apps that require you to pay for their services. Luckily all the methods above are completely free and easy to use.

How to screenshot an entire webpage on Mac

The easiest way to screenshot an entire webpage on Mac is to use the Shift + Command + 3 combination. Alternatively, you can use built-in browser screen capture features to screenshot an entire webpage on Mac, but the way to do this would depend on the browser.

Taking a screenshot on a Mac computer is very easy – all you need to do is press Shift + Command + 3 and this will create a screenshot using the built-in Screenshot mac utility. This app actually has several useful options, so, to actually open it and gain access to those options you can search for them in Spotlight by typing Screenshot and opening the first result. You can also use the Shift + Command + 5 combination from your keyboard to directly open the Screen capture utility. Once you open it, at the bottom of your screen, you’d be given the different options of the app – to screenshot the entire screen or a specified selection, or to record a video of your entire screen or of a selection. If you want to take a screenshot of the whole screen, click the first button from left to right (should be labeled Capture Entire Screen) and then click anywhere on your screen. A screenshot image file will soon be saved in a location specified in the settings of the Screenshot utility. To see what that location is and to change it if you want, click Options when the Screenshot utility is open and see what folder is checked below Save to . If you want, you can change that folder to another location.

If you want a quick way of making screenshots of specified selections of the screen, you can instead use the Shift + Command + 4 keyboard combination. This will directly turn your cursor into a selection tool. To use it, click and hold somewhere on your screen and then drag the cursor over the area of your screen that you want to capture. Once you’ve selected the area you want, release the click and a screenshot will be taken and saved to the Save to the location of the Screenshot utility.

This is the easiest way to take screenshots on Mac, but note that a lot of browsers offer their own screenshot utilities and functions. Below, we will show you how to take a screenshot of a webpage using Chrome and Firefox.

How to screenshot a webpage in Chrome on Mac

• Open the Chrome browser on your Mac and go to the page you want to screenshot.
• Press the Command + Option + I keyboard combination, and you will see a window appear to the right.
• Next, press Command + Shift + P and then type “ Screenshot” in the Run field.

• If you chose the Capture area screenshot feature, click-hold on your screen and drag the cursor while holding the click to select the area you want to screenshot and then release the click. Any screenshots you create in this way will be saved to the Google Chrome download location, but you can also directly open the screenshot by clicking it from the bottom of your screen, as it should appear there after you take it.

• Launch Firefox and visit the page that you need to screenshot.

How to take a screenshot of an entire webpage.

A simple screenshot is great for capturing what's immediately visible on your monitor, but what if you need to capture an entire webpage? Here are three simple ways you can capture a long web page as one continuous image and, in the process, preserve it exactly as it appears to the viewer.

Quick Links

The method matters: screenshot vs. printing, option one: capture a webpage with a standalone screenshot tool, option two: capture a webpage with a browser plugin, option three: capture a webpage with a web-based tool.

Windows 10, macOS, and many browsers allow you to "print" any page to a PDF file. Older versions of Windows also contain the built-in ability to "print" any file to XPS, a PDF-like alternative. Just go to the web page you want, select File > Print, and choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" (if you have it) or "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" (if you don't). In macOS, click the "PDF" button on the Print dialog.

Given this, you might be wondering why capturing a screenshot of a webpage even matters. Wouldn't it be simple enough to just Press Ctrl+P and convert a web page into a PDF or XPS?

While PDF is great for documents, it has an inherent shortcoming when it comes to preserving a webpage. Regardless of the document creator you use, it functions as a virtual printer, which any shortcomings the physical printing process would have (poor column alignment, advertisements overlapping the text, etc.) will appear in the document created by the virtual printer. Further, if the website in question has a specific "print view" to alleviate the aforementioned issues, that means you're not preserving the webpage as it appears, but preserving the webpage as it is formatted for printing.

When you use a screen capture tool, you're not churning the webpage through a document creator. You're capturing---pixel for pixel---exactly what you see on the screen. Not only is that useful for archival purposes, as you're getting an exact 1:1 representation of the webpage, but you're also able to show other people exactly how the page looks as oppose to exactly how the page prints.

With that in mind, let's look at three techniques you can use to capture an entire webpage in a single screenshot: standalone screen capture tools, browser plugins, and a handy web-based service that works wherever you are.

While the vast majority of operating systems have a built in screen capture tool, that tool is typically pretty basic. It might do a fine job capturing parts of your screen, but it won't have the bells and whistles necessary to capture a whole webpage.

Fortunately, there are tons of third party tools that sport  "scrolling capture" or "full page" capture, wherein the screenshot tool will scroll through the webpage for you capturing and stitch the screenshots into one continuous image. The screen capture tool I've used for ages, FastStone Capture (Windows, $20, seen above), has this feature; triggered by a toolbar button or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn. Note: You can still download the older, free version of FastStone Capture from The Portable Freeware Collection (although this version lacks newer features, it does have scrolling capture).

Screenpresso (Windows, free) also has a scrolling capture feature, as does popular capture tool SnagIt (Windows/Mac, $50). When looking for a screen capture tool (or searching through the documentation of the tool you already have) search for the keyword "scrolling" to see if it has the necessary feature.

Standalone screen capture tools are great if you regularly use them, but if your work only requires you to capture webpages once in a while, then it makes more sense to use a browser-based tool.

While there are more than a handful of browser extension tools out there, we like Nimbus Screenshot , seen above. It's free, it's available for both Chrome and Firefox , and it has a nice clean interface that gets the job done. One click and it captures and aligns the image for you. Better yet, you can easily save the image to your PC when you're done or upload it to your Google Drive or Slack.

So what if you just need a one-off capture to send to your boss? You don't have to install something to grab it---as long as the webpage in question is publicly accessible (like a How-To Geek article and not some site you have to log in to first), you can easily use the free Screen Capture tool at CtrlQ.org  or the similar tool at Web-Capture.net .

While both tools work well enough, Web-Capture has an edge on two fronts: it allows you to specify the image format, and supports capturing via bookmarklet (so you can put a shortcut in your browser's toolbar to access the capture service). If you're new to bookmarklets, check out our handy guide .

That's all there is to it: whether you're using a third party tool, a browser extension, or even a web-based tool, you can easily capture an entire webpage in a single image file to preserve it for posterity, your boss, a court case, or whatever reason you have for desiring a perfect pixel-to-pixel representation of a whole webpage.

Don't go into Hollows. I know, I know, there are Ether resources in the Hollows, bizarre creations, even ruins of the old civilization — all invaluable treasures. But don't forget about the spatial disorder, the monsters, and mutants running rampant. Ultimately, this is a disaster that could swallow the world. Hollows are not where ordinary people should go. So don't go into Hollows. Or at least, don't go in alone. If you insist on getting into danger, go to New Eridu first. This city full of people from all walks of life has many who need the Hollows: powerful and wealthy tycoons, gangs who rule the streets, schemers hiding in the shadows, and ruthless officials.
