Yes—Microsoft Edge can capture an entire webpage without manually scrolling. Open the page, press Ctrl+Shift+S, choose Capture full page, then review the image and either annotate it, copy it, or save it. The built-in Screenshot tool normally needs no extension.

Capture an entire webpage in Edge

Edge’s Screenshot feature captures the page beyond the visible browser window, including content below the fold. Microsoft describes it as capturing “an entire webpage in a single screenshot—even content that extends beyond your screen.”

1. Open the page

Launch Microsoft Edge and navigate to the webpage you need. Let the page finish loading before starting the capture, especially if it contains images, charts, or other content that appears after a delay.

2. Open Screenshot

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+S.
  2. If the shortcut is unavailable, right-click the page and select Screenshot.
  3. You can also open Screenshot from Edge’s Settings menu.

The exact menu placement can vary with Edge version, device type, market, or organizational settings.

3. Choose Capture full page

In the Screenshot panel, select Capture full page. This is the middle option in Microsoft’s learning-center instructions. Edge processes the page and opens a capture overlay containing the complete image.

4. Review and mark up the image

Inspect the result from top to bottom. The overlay includes pen and touch-markup tools, so you can draw attention to text or areas of the page before sharing it.

5. Copy or save

  • Select Copy to place the image on the clipboard, then paste it into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, an email, or another application.
  • Select Save to write the screenshot to a file.

Use Copy when you need a quick image inside a document; use Save when you need a separate file for storage or upload.

What Edge’s full-page capture includes

Content below the visible screen

The defining benefit is that Edge captures the page’s full vertical extent rather than only the viewport currently visible on your monitor. You do not have to take a series of screenshots and stitch them together manually.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Moving media stays active

Microsoft notes that videos, GIFs, and web carousels remain active while Screenshot works. If you need a particular frame, pause the video or carousel, or position it on the frame you want before starting the capture. Otherwise, the saved image may show a different moment than the one you expected.

Selected-area capture

When a whole page is unnecessary, use Screenshot’s selected-area option instead. Drag around the portion you want and capture only that region; this is useful for a single chart, product card, or error message.

When the Screenshot option is missing

Try the alternate launch paths

If Ctrl+Shift+S does nothing, right-click the webpage and look for Screenshot. If it is not in the context menu, open Edge Settings and search for Screenshot. Feature labels and placement can differ by browser version and device.

Check organizational policy

In managed environments, the WebCaptureEnabled policy controls the Screenshot feature, which was formerly called Web Capture. The policy can allow capture of web and PDF content with inking tools. If your administrator has disabled it, only the organization’s Edge administrator can restore access.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Account for availability differences

Microsoft says Screenshot functionality can vary by device type, market, and browser version. Updating Edge may expose a newer interface, but an update cannot override a policy restriction.

Use Print when you need a PDF or printable document

Screenshot produces an image. If your objective is an archival or printable document, open Edge’s Print command instead and configure the print output. Choose the required layout and enable background graphics when the page’s colors or images need to appear in the result. Print is the practical fallback when a PDF is more useful than one very tall image.

Built-in Screenshot, Print, and extensions compared

Option Primary output Annotation Long or dynamic pages Availability and permissions
Edge Screenshot Full-page or selected-area image Built-in pen and touch markup Captures content beyond the viewport; moving media remains active Built into Edge, but can be controlled by WebCaptureEnabled policy
Edge Print Printable output, including PDF workflows Print settings rather than Screenshot markup Uses pagination and print layout Edge’s normal print command
PageSaver add-on Advertises full-page screenshot plus PDF/image export Depends on the extension Extension-specific behavior Requires add-on installation and its requested permissions; listing reported version 2.5.0, updated August 19, 2026

Extension compatibility, permissions, pricing, and any affiliate or referral arrangement can change. Check the live Edge Add-ons listing before installing or recommending one. For a normal capture, start with Edge’s built-in tool because it avoids an additional extension and its permissions.

Tips for cleaner full-page captures

  • Wait for the page to settle: Start after the main content and images have appeared.
  • Pause motion: Stop videos, GIFs, and carousels if a specific frame is important.
  • Choose the smallest useful output: Use selected-area capture for a single component instead of producing a very tall image.
  • Use Print for documents: A PDF or paginated printout is easier to read and distribute than a long image when the page is document-like.
  • Review before sharing: Check the entire overlay for transient banners, personal information, or content that changed while the page was being captured.

Or skip the browser setup

For repeatable or automated captures, ScreenshotNeo is the first screenshot API to try: it removes common consent banners, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture, bills only clean shots, and has the lowest paid plan listed here.

One GET request returns a PNG, JPEG, WebP screenshot, or a PDF. The API base is https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot. See the ScreenshotNeo documentation for parameter details.

cURL

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

Python

import requests
r = requests.get("https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot", params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"}, timeout=90)
open("shot.webp", "wb").write(r.content)

Node.js

const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);

Replace the example URL with the page you need and keep your access key private. ScreenshotNeo also supports full-page capture with lazy images loaded, CSS-selector element capture, dark mode, 12 device presets or any viewport, retina scale, paper-size and page-range PDF settings, custom CSS and JavaScript, pre-capture clicks, hidden selectors, waits for a selector, delay or network idle, blocking ads, trackers, requests or resource types, custom headers, cookies, user agents and Authorization, timezone and geolocation, transparent backgrounds, image resizing, configurable cache TTLs, signed links, asynchronous jobs with signed webhooks, bulk capture of up to 100 URLs per call, a usage API, and an OpenAPI specification. Parameter names used by other screenshot APIs also work, which can simplify migration.

Why the billing result matters

Each response identifies the result with X-Page-Verdict and X-Billed headers. Bot checks or CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed; only clean shots are billed.

Troubleshooting checklist

“Screenshot” is not in the menu

Use Ctrl+Shift+S, then check Edge Settings. If all launch paths are missing, ask your administrator whether WebCaptureEnabled has disabled the feature.

The result shows the wrong video or carousel frame

Moving media remains active during capture. Pause the media or position the carousel on the desired frame before selecting Capture full page.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

I need a document, not a tall image

Use Edge’s Print command and configure the layout, background graphics, and PDF output for a paginated result.

The interface looks different from these steps

Edge’s availability and functionality vary by browser version, device type, and market. Look for Screenshot in the page’s right-click menu or Edge Settings, and use the label Capture full page when the panel opens.

The page is too dynamic to capture reliably

Pause moving content and wait for the page to finish loading. For scheduled, repeatable captures, use an API that supports explicit waits, selectors, resource blocking, and custom browser context; ScreenshotNeo exposes those controls and reports whether a response was billed.
