How to Take a Full Page Screenshot on Mac (Chrome, Safari and Shortcuts)

Capture a whole scrolling web page on a Mac. Built-in shortcuts, Chrome DevTools and a one-click extension, with the pros and cons of each.

macOS has excellent screenshot shortcuts, but none of them captures a whole web page that scrolls. Here is what each option can and cannot do, and the quickest way to get one tall image.

The built-in Mac shortcuts

Cmd+Shift+3 captures the whole screen.
Cmd+Shift+4 lets you drag a box over any part of it.
Cmd+Shift+5 opens the screenshot toolbar, with screen recording and a timer.

All of them capture only what is visible. If the page is longer than your screen, you get one slice at a time.

Safari: Full Page in the screenshot tool

Safari can save a web page as a PDF through File, Export as PDF, and some versions offer a full page choice in the screenshot toolbar. The result is a PDF, and long pages with sticky headers can look repeated or cut.

Chrome DevTools, no extension

Press Cmd+Option+I to open DevTools.
Press Cmd+Shift+P and type screenshot.
Choose Capture full size screenshot.

It works for simple pages, but it does not wait for lazy images and it gives you no editing.

The fastest way: a full page extension

With PageSnap installed, open the page and press Option+Shift+P (or click the icon). It scrolls the page, waits for images and animations, shows fixed headers once and gives you one image. Then you can draw on it, blur private details, copy the text, and save it as PNG, JPG or PDF.
