A normal screenshot shortcut captures only what is visible on screen. A full page screenshot captures the entire webpage from top to bottom, including the content below the current viewport.
Method 1
Use AnyShot for a one-click full page screenshot
- Install and pin AnyShot. Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store and keep it visible in the toolbar.
- Open the webpage. Let the content you need finish loading before capture.
- Start capture. Select the AnyShot icon or press Command+Shift+Y on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+Y on Windows and Linux.
- Review the entire page. AnyShot captures the scrolling page in sections and restores your original scroll position afterward.
- Edit and deliver. Add annotations or permanent redaction, then export PNG/PDF or choose Share to create a 15-day unlisted link.
Method 2
Use Chrome DevTools without an extension
- Open DevTools on the webpage you want to capture.
- Press Command+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux to open the command menu.
- Type “Capture full size screenshot.”
- Select the command to download a PNG of the page.
This built-in method is useful when you need a quick website screenshot and do not need editing. The extra DevTools steps make it less convenient for frequent capture work.

Full page screenshot questions
Can Chrome capture a full page without an extension?
Yes. Chrome DevTools includes a Capture full size screenshot command. It is useful for an occasional PNG, but it does not provide AnyShot's focused annotation, redaction, PDF, recent-capture, or temporary-link workflow.
How do I screenshot a long or scrolling webpage?
Use a full page capture command rather than the operating system's visible-screen shortcut. AnyShot scrolls the page, captures it in sections, and restores the original position when the capture finishes.
Can I edit the full page screenshot before downloading it?
Yes. AnyShot opens the capture in an editor with arrows, circles, highlights, text, crop, permanent redaction, undo, and redo before PNG or PDF export.
