And Windows has already built-in support for screenshots with varying capabilities. The screenshots which we have been taking till now were the visible screen area. But if you want to take a screenshot of the full webpage, then there is no way you can do that.
There are many instances where you need to take the full webpage screenshots. At least till now, there is no built-in support for scrolling screenshots in windows but don’t worry there is a great way which we are going to discuss in the below article.

Scrolling Screenshot in Google Chrome
Google Chrome is considered one of the most advanced chromium-based browsers but sadly it doesn’t have an in-build full page/scrolling screenshot tool. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t take scrolling screenshots in Google Chrome.
Method 1: Using Chrome Extension
Google Chrome has developed an excellent collection of extension that adds functionality that is negatively not available in the browser. So here is another extension that can take a scrolling screenshot just like the original.
Add this GoFullPage extension to your Chrome Browser and be ready for magic. Just go to any webpage and click on the GoFullPage extension and the screenshot will be ready within just a matter of seconds. This extension has built-in support for basic editing which you can take advantage of.
This extension actually takes multiple screenshots and combined them to make a full-page screenshot. So this extension is not completely perfect it can give you and biggest result in some cases but most of the cases will get a result where it is almost impossible to identify the defect.
Method 2: Using Chrome Developer Options
Chrome usually has a lot of hidden features in its developer options but very few people actually know how to use it. The developer option doesn’t mean that you have to be a software programmer or developer to use it to your benefit. Even a layman like me can use it so why can’t you. And the best part is you don’t have to add anything from an external source.
- Open Chrome and tap on the 3 dot menu
- Go to more tools “Developer tools”
3. Then again click on the 3 dots in “Developer tools” and tap on “Run Command”
4. Here search the Tom “screenshot” and then go to “Capture full-size screenshot”
5. In the next step your full-size image will be ready in the .png format
I believe that this is one of the easiest methods without installing anything from an external source but what lacks here is the ability to edit images which obviously you can do it another photo editing software.
