Scrolling screenshot of any web page
A long screenshot captures the whole page, not only what fits on your screen. PageScan scrolls the page for you and joins the parts into one clean image.
How to take a long screenshot
- Open the page and click the PageScan icon, or press Alt+Shift+S.
- Choose Full page. Wait a few seconds while the page scrolls. Do not switch tabs.
- The editor opens with the whole page. Mark it up if you need to, then click Download or Copy.
A normal article takes about 3 to 5 seconds. A very long page, like a 50,000-pixel help page, takes under a minute.
The hard parts, done right
Sticky headers and footers
Headers that stick to the top show up once, at the top. Cookie banners and chat buttons that stick to the bottom show up once, at the bottom. You do not get the same bar on every screen.
Lazy images
Many pages load images only when you scroll to them. PageScan loads them before the capture, so the long screenshot has no empty boxes.
Pages that scroll inside a panel
Gmail, Notion, Jira and many dashboards scroll inside a panel, not the window. A plain scrolling capture gets only one screen of them. PageScan finds the panel that scrolls and captures all of it. The panel scrollbar is hidden in the result.
Very long pages
The page stays one document in the editor. A single PNG or JPEG can be up to 32,000 pixels tall, which is a browser limit. A taller page saves as numbered parts, or as one multi-page PDF.
Known limit. A very tall sticky sidebar, like the menu on some help sites, can appear once at the bottom of the image. We are working on it.
Scrolling screenshot without an extension
Firefox and Edge have a built-in full page capture. Chrome hides one in its developer tools. They work on simple pages but have no editor. Read the step-by-step guides for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Mac and Safari and Windows laptops.
