Full-page screenshot questions

How can I screenshot an entire page in Chrome?

Use Fully when you want to capture the whole page and immediately mark up, cover or copy the result. If you only need a plain downloaded PNG, follow Chrome's short built-in method in the quick answer above.

How can I take a full-page screenshot without an extension?

Chrome's built-in DevTools method requires no extension and works well for a plain PNG of an ordinary webpage with a clear end. It does not include Fully's annotation, Cover or clipboard workflow.

What is a scrolling screenshot?

A scrolling screenshot combines the content below the visible browser window into one tall image. It is also called a full-page, whole-page or long screenshot when it captures the webpage from top to bottom.

Why might Chrome's Capture full size screenshot not work?

Some pages do not behave like ordinary documents. Their main content may scroll inside its own panel, keep growing as you move down or use an unusual floating layout. Wait for the page to finish loading first. If the result is incomplete, try the supported one-click method or check the capture troubleshooting guide.

Can I annotate a full-page screenshot before sharing it?

Yes. Fully opens the captured page in a local editor where you can draw, add arrows, highlight areas, write notes and place a solid Cover over private details. It then copies the finished marked-up PNG to your clipboard.

How do I capture a page with an internal scrolling area?

Fully can capture one dominant in-page scrolling area on supported web apps. Pages with several similarly sized scrolling panels and unusual scripted layouts remain best effort, so no capture method should be assumed to work on every complex page.

Give the screenshot a clear purpose

The full page keeps the surrounding layout visible. Add an arrow or short note when you want someone to focus on one detail.

For a request going to a teammate, use the website feedback guide.

Use your capture with an AI tool

Copy the finished PNG, then paste it using your destination's supported image input. Fully does not open an AI tool or send the image automatically.

Check privacy before you paste

A full webpage can contain names, email addresses, private work or account details outside the area you marked up. Review the complete image and cover anything the recipient does not need. The screenshot extension captures the page, lets you mark it up and copies the image in your browser. It does not automatically upload the screenshot.

Use the screenshot privacy guide for a practical review and Cover checklist. Read the Privacy Policy for the exact storage, retention and permission boundaries.

The whole page, ready to explain

Fully McFullface is available in the Chrome Web Store. It captures the complete page, lets you mark up what matters and copies one finished PNG for you to paste where you choose.
