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

Use Chrome DevTools: open the page, press Ctrl+Shift+I, then Ctrl+Shift+P, search for screenshot, and choose Capture full size screenshot. Chrome saves an image of the whole webpage, including content below the visible screen.

Capture the whole webpage in Chrome

  1. Open the webpage you want to capture in Chrome.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open DevTools.
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the DevTools Command Menu. This is the documented Windows/Linux shortcut. Chrome DevTools Command Menu documentation.
  4. Type screenshot in the menu.
  5. Select Capture full size screenshot. Chrome captures the full webpage, including content outside the current viewport. The image is typically saved to your downloads location.

Choose the full-size command rather than a viewport or area capture when you need the entire scrolling page. DevTools places full-size capture in its device-mode screenshot menu; the exact arrangement or labels can change between Chrome updates. Chrome DevTools device mode documentation.

What you need Use What it captures or creates
The whole scrolling webpage as an image Chrome DevTools: Capture full size screenshot Page content beyond the visible viewport
A visible region or the screen as shown Windows Snipping Tool A screen capture; its modes include region and full-screen snips, not Chrome’s full scrolling-page capture. Microsoft’s Snipping Tool guide
A document to read, print, or share Chrome print dialog: press Ctrl+P and choose a suitable destination, such as Save as PDF where available A PDF document rather than a screenshot image. Chrome print help

If “Capture full size screenshot” does not appear

  • Make sure DevTools is open before pressing Ctrl+Shift+P; the shortcut opens the DevTools Command Menu, not a Windows screenshot menu.
  • Search for screenshot in the Command Menu and inspect the available capture commands. Confirm that you are choosing the full-size option, not a viewport or area option.
  • If the command layout differs, look in DevTools’ device-mode screenshot menu. Chrome’s interface can change, so the exact arrangement may vary by version.
  • If you only need what is currently visible, use Snipping Tool instead. It captures screen content, not the entire page that extends below the fold.

Or skip the browser setup

For a repeatable capture from code, ScreenshotNeo takes a URL and returns a screenshot. Its clean-shot process accepts cookie or consent banners and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture; each step can be turned off. Bot checks or CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed, and the response identifies the page verdict and billing status.
