How to Screenshot a Web Page with a Collapsed Responsive Navigation Menu

Set a responsive viewport that triggers the site’s mobile breakpoint, confirm the navigation is collapsed, and capture the viewport in Chrome or Firefox.

Set the browser’s responsive viewport to a width that triggers the site’s mobile breakpoint, confirm the navigation has collapsed, then capture the viewport. In Chrome, use DevTools’ Device Mode and choose Capture screenshot; use Capture a full size screenshot only when you need the whole document. The breakpoint belongs to the site, so verify the menu’s actual on-page state before saving the image.

How do I take a screenshot of a responsive website?

Capture it in Chrome

  1. Open the page in Chrome, then open DevTools.

  2. Toggle the device toolbar. Device Mode opens with a responsive viewport; enter the width and height you want to document.

  3. Inspect the page. Make sure the viewport is narrow enough for the site’s responsive breakpoint and that its navigation is visibly collapsed, often into a menu button. Wait for the page to finish rendering.

  4. Open the Device Mode menu and choose Capture screenshot for the visible viewport. Choose Capture a full size screenshot if you need the entire page, including content outside the viewport.

  5. Open the saved image and check that it shows the intended viewport, collapsed navigation, and page state.

Chrome describes Device Mode as a way to “simulate the mobile user experience from your laptop or desktop.” Its viewport dimensions help trigger a site’s mobile layout, but the correct breakpoint varies by site. See Chrome’s Device Mode documentation.

Choose viewport or full-page capture

A viewport screenshot records the composition currently visible in the emulated screen. That is usually the right choice when you want to show how the collapsed menu appears to a visitor. A full-size screenshot includes content below or beyond that viewport and represents a different view; use it when the whole document matters, not as a substitute for the viewport image.

How do I capture a mobile view of a web page in Firefox?

  1. Open Responsive Design Mode and set the target viewport dimensions.

  2. Confirm the site has switched to its collapsed navigation layout and finished rendering.

  3. Use Responsive Design Mode’s screenshot control to capture the viewport. Firefox also documents an enabled full-page screenshot button; if it is not visible, enable the screenshot icon in DevTools settings.

  4. For a full-page capture from the Web Console, run :screenshot filename.png --fullpage.

Firefox’s documentation covers Responsive Design Mode and taking screenshots, including full-page and selected-element captures.

How can I capture only the collapsed menu?

If the evidence you need is the navigation component rather than the surrounding page, Firefox’s Inspector offers a Screenshot Node action for a selected element. Select the menu element in the Inspector and use that action to capture the node. This is useful for isolating the component, but it is not a screenshot of the full mobile-page composition.

ScreenshotNeo can capture a URL directly through its screenshot API. One GET request returns an image or PDF; this example saves a WebP screenshot of the target page:

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

See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for authentication and capture options. Cookie and consent banners are accepted before capture and more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets are removed; each step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, with the response identifying the page verdict and billing status. An MCP server provides screenshot tools for AI agents, and the free plan includes 1,000 screenshots per month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000. Sign up for the free plan.
