Google Chrome is a great browser and it has a lot of features that make it one of the most popular browsers on the market. However, there are some features that you may not be able to use without using an extension. One such feature is taking full page screenshots in Google Chrome. This can be done by opening Google Chrome and clicking on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. Then, select “Take a screenshot” from the list that appears. After clicking on “Take a screenshot,” you will be taken to a page where you can choose how to save your screenshot. You can either save it as a PNG file or save it as an JPEG file. The next step is to select which type of file you would like to save your screenshot in. After selecting which type of file you would like to save your screenshot in, you will be taken back to the “Screenshot” page where you can choose how to share your screenshot with others. You can share your screenshot by email, social media, or even just by posting it on your website if you want!
Google Chrome has a hidden feature tucked away inside Developer Tools that lets you take full-sized screenshots of any web page. This feature captures the entirety of a page, similar to a scrolling screenshot, without the use of a third-party extension.
How to Take a Full-Sized Screenshot in Chrome
To get started, open Chrome and head to the web page you want to capture. Once there, click the three dots, point to “More Tools,” then click on “Developer Tools.” Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows or Command+Shift+I on Mac to open the Developer Tools pane.
In the top right corner of the pane, click the three dots icon, then click “Run Command.” Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Command+Shift+P on Mac.
In the command line, type “Screenshot,” then click “Capture full-size screenshot” from the list of commands available.
Note: This feature is ideal on websites with text-based content opposed to web apps, as it could potentially only capture the viewable screen.
The image should save automatically, but if you’re prompted to save the screenshot, select a destination on your computer, then click “Save.”
That’s it. After the screenshot saves, you can open it with an image editor, add annotations, or crop it to a specific size.
