Capture a whole web page, from the header to the footer, as one tall image. Paste a link, pick a device, and download a clean PNG, JPEG or WebP with cookie banners, ads and chat widgets taken out. Free, with no account.

A full-page screenshot is not a photo of your screen. The page is opened in Chrome on our servers and drawn at its full height in one pass.
Every major browser can capture a full page without an extension, though the option is often hidden. These steps come from each maker's own documentation. Windows' Snipping Tool and the Mac screenshot keys can't scroll, so they only capture what fits on the screen.
Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS
Images that load as you scroll may come out blank. Scroll to the bottom and back up before capturing.

Edge is built on the same engine as Chrome, so the DevTools steps above work in Edge too.

The same few problems spoil most full-page captures, whichever tool takes them.
Most sites load images only when they scroll into view. A capture taken without scrolling records empty boxes. This tool scrolls the whole page first. For pages that load very late, use the scrolling screenshot, which scrolls more slowly.
Consent banners sit on top of the page, so they land in the picture, and fixed ones may land at the bottom of a tall image too. Keep Remove cookie banners and pop-ups on: the capture browser dismisses the banner, with its own button where it can, and hides whatever is left. That happens in our browser, so nothing changes in yours.
Tools that stitch several screen-sized shots together repeat sticky headers and side bars in every piece. A capture drawn at full height in one pass, like this one or the browser options above, avoids that.
Social feeds and some shops keep adding content as you scroll, so there is no bottom to reach. The free tool stops at 15,000 pixels on desktop and laptop, 7,000 on tablet and 8,000 on a phone (about 5,400 as WebP, whose images can't be taller), and tells you when it did. For a feed, the first screen is often the more useful picture.
The capture runs in our browser, not yours, so it sees what a logged-out visitor sees. For your own dashboards and accounts, use your browser's full-page option above.

| Captures below the fold | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Removes cookie banners, ads and chat | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Scrolls so lazy images load | No | Not always | Yes | Yes |

Yes. Anyone can use it without an account, up to 20 captures a day. For more, or to capture pages from your own code, the API has a free plan with 20 screenshots a month, and paid plans from 2,000.
No. The image goes straight back to your browser and is not stored. Our server logs record the page's address and your IP address and browser (and the options you chose, if a capture fails), to stop the free tool being abused, but not the image.
Up to 15,000 pixels tall on desktop and laptop, 7,000 on tablet and 8,000 on a phone, measured in the page's own pixels. That covers nearly every article and landing page. A phone capture in WebP stops at about 5,400, because a WebP image can't be taller than 16,383 real pixels. Longer pages are cut off and the tool says so. The API has no limit of its own.
They hadn't loaded yet. Some sites wait a long time, or until an image is well into view, before loading it. Try the scrolling screenshot, which takes its time over each part of the page.
Yes. Choose Phone and the page is opened as an iPhone 14 Pro would see it, 393 pixels wide at three times the density, so the image is 1,179 pixels wide and the mobile layout is used.
PNG keeps text and interface edges perfectly sharp and is the safe choice for design reviews and documentation. JPEG and WebP make much smaller files, which matters for long pages. WebP is usually the smallest at the same quality, and every current browser opens it.
Not with this tool. It opens pages as a logged-out visitor. Your own browser can do it: see the steps for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari above.
Yes. Send fullPage: true to the API and you get the same capture from any language. See the full-page guide in the docs.
The API does what this page does, for as many pages as you need: full length with no height limit, the same blocking, plus PDF, dark mode and scheduled captures on paid plans. The free plan includes 20 screenshots a month.
