Read guideWho Uses Full Page Screenshots?
Web Developers & QA Engineers
Capture full page screenshots to document visual bugs, verify responsive layouts across breakpoints, and create before/after comparisons during UI refactoring. Attach pixel-perfect screenshots to bug reports in Jira, GitHub Issues, or Linear to help your team reproduce issues faster.
UX/UI Designers
Archive existing page designs for redesign reference, capture competitor websites for analysis, and document design systems in their live rendered state. Full page captures reveal how above-the-fold and below-the-fold content work together — something partial screenshots miss entirely.
Content Creators & Marketers
Create visual assets for blog posts, tutorials, and social media. Capture entire landing pages for A/B test documentation, record email newsletter renders, and archive web content before it changes or goes offline.
Project Managers & Clients
Share visual progress updates with stakeholders who don't have access to staging environments. Full page screenshots communicate the complete state of a feature much more effectively than descriptions or partial captures.
Students & Researchers
Archive web articles, research papers, and reference materials for offline reading. Capture data visualizations, interactive reports, and documentation pages in their entirety for study materials and citations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this extension free?
Yes, completely free with no hidden charges, subscriptions, or premium tiers. There is no "Pro" version, no watermarks, and no feature gates. Every feature is available to everyone.
Does it work on all websites?
It works on the vast majority of websites, including complex single-page applications, news sites, social media feeds, and documentation portals. Due to Chrome security restrictions, it cannot capture internal Chrome pages (chrome://, chrome-extension://), the Chrome Web Store, or pages that explicitly block content scripts. Some banking and enterprise sites may restrict capture for security reasons.
Where are my screenshots stored?
Screenshots are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to any server. The captured image lives only in your browser's memory while the viewer tab is open. When you close the viewer tab, the data is gone — nothing is stored permanently. This is by design: your screenshots are private and only you have access to them.
Does it support Retina / HiDPI displays?
Yes. The extension captures at your device's native pixel ratio. On standard 1080p displays, you get 1x resolution. On Retina MacBooks (2x) or high-end 4K monitors (up to 3x), your screenshots will be correspondingly higher resolution. This means a 1920px-wide page on a 2x Retina display produces a 3840px-wide screenshot — perfect for print-quality documentation.
Can I capture a specific area instead of the full page?
Currently the extension captures the full page only. For area selection, you can use the built-in OS snipping tools (Snipping Tool on Windows, Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac) after opening the captured full page in the viewer. Area selection as a built-in feature may be added in a future update.
How does the fixed element handling work?
When capturing, the extension detects elements with CSS position:fixed or position:sticky (like headers, navigation bars, and floating buttons). These elements are captured in the first viewport frame, then hidden in subsequent frames to prevent them from appearing multiple times in the final stitched image. The result is a clean screenshot where headers appear only at the top, exactly as a visitor would experience the full page.
What file format are screenshots saved in?
All screenshots are saved as PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. PNG was chosen because it provides lossless compression, preserving every pixel exactly as captured. This is important for screenshots where text clarity and color accuracy matter. The tradeoff is larger file sizes compared to JPEG, but for screenshots, quality is prioritized over compression.
Does the extension slow down my browser?
No. The extension only activates when you click the capture button. It has no background processes, no content scripts running on every page, and no periodic network requests. When not in use, it consumes zero resources. During capture, the process typically takes 2-10 seconds depending on page length.
