Chrome's way

Chrome’s built-in full page screenshot

Chrome can capture a whole page from its developer tools:

  1. Open DevTools. Press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows and Linux, or ⌘+Option+I on a Mac.
  2. Click Toggle device toolbar in the DevTools action bar.
  3. Open the More options menu in the device toolbar and pick the full size screenshot option.

The same menu has Capture screenshot for just the part you can see.

TabCmdr's way

Capture the whole page with TabCmdr

TabCmdr is a keyboard launcher that lives in your browser. Its Full Page Screenshot command scrolls the page for you and joins every screen into one image, without opening DevTools.

Before you start: add TabCmdr from the Chrome Web Store. It has a 7-day free trial and needs no account.

Step 1: Open the palette on the page

Go to the page you want to capture and press ⌘+K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux.

Step 2: Type full page

Two commands come first. Full Page Screenshot - Copy to Clipboard puts the image on your clipboard. Full Page Screenshot - Download as PNG saves it as a file. Below them are the commands that capture only the visible part of the page.

Step 3: Press Enter

Press Enter to copy, or press ↓ once and then Enter to download. The palette closes, TabCmdr scrolls down the page one screen at a time, then scrolls back to where you were. A message at the bottom of the page confirms it: Full page screenshot copied or Full page screenshot saved.

The download’s name starts with screenshot-fullpage- and ends with the date and time. It’s saved at your screen’s resolution, so on a high-resolution display the image has twice as many pixels across as the page area of your window.

What to expect

  • Height limit. TabCmdr captures up to 16,000 pixels of page height. Longer pages are cut off at that point.
  • Width. The image is as wide as the page area of your browser window.
  • Fixed headers. A header that stays at the top while you scroll is in every screen TabCmdr captures, so it can appear more than once in the image.
  • Short pages. If the page fits on one screen, you get a regular screenshot of that screen.
  • If copying fails. The message reads Copy failed - try download. Run Full Page Screenshot - Download as PNG instead.
  • If capturing fails. A message reading To capture, open TabCmdr from its toolbar icon or browser shortcut means just that: open the palette that way and run the command again.

Other ways to capture a page

Type :ss to open TabCmdr’s screenshot menu. It lists all six screenshot commands with a line on what each one does: the visible part of the tab, an area you draw, or the full page, each with a copy and a download version.

FAQ

Questions about full page screenshots

More in the documentation.

How do I screenshot an entire web page in Chrome?

Open DevTools with F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J (⌘+Option+I on a Mac), click Toggle device toolbar, then open the More options menu in the device toolbar and pick the full size screenshot option. With TabCmdr, press ⌘K or Ctrl+K, type full page and press Enter on one of the Full Page Screenshot commands.

Where does TabCmdr save the screenshot?

The Download as PNG command saves it like any other download, with a name that starts with screenshot-fullpage- and ends with the date and time. The Copy to Clipboard command puts the image on your clipboard instead, ready to paste.

Is there a size limit?

Yes. TabCmdr captures up to 16,000 pixels of page height. On a longer page, the image stops at that point. The width matches the page area of your browser window.

Why does the page header show up more than once?

TabCmdr scrolls down one screen at a time and joins the captures. A header that stays fixed at the top of the window is on screen in every capture, so it can appear in each part of the image.

Does the screenshot leave my computer?

No. TabCmdr makes the image in your browser and sends it only to your clipboard or your downloads.

One shortcut for your whole browser. Stop hunting for tabs.
