These are the questions people ask before and after the first capture. Limits below match the extension, not a generic screenshot guide.
How do I take a full page screenshot in Chrome?
Open the page, click the icon, choose Full page, and press Capture. The extension scrolls, grabs each frame, and stitches them. Alt+Shift+S does the same with your last settings. Step-by-step: full page screenshot in Chrome.
What is a scrolling screenshot?
One image of content taller than the window. The tool scrolls, captures each screenful, and joins them. See what a scrolling screenshot is.
Can it capture a chat or a table that scrolls inside the page?
Yes, when Scroll panels inside the page is on (the default). If the page itself does not scroll, the inner panel is captured instead. How that works.
Which formats can I save?
PNG, JPG, WebP, and PDF. JPG and WebP quality runs from 50 to 100, default 92. PDF paper is A4, Letter, or Fit page. The PDF is a picture of the page, so the text inside it is not selectable.
Is there a length limit?
Capture stops at 60,000 CSS pixels of height. Very tall results are split so no single image exceeds browser canvas limits (about 16,000 device pixels tall, and 48 megapixels). You get several files instead of a cropped page.
Are screenshots uploaded?
No. Stitching happens in your browser. Files go to Downloads or a folder you pick. Anonymous usage counts and error reports may be sent. Page content, file names, and images are not. Privacy Policy.
Why can some tabs not be captured?
Chrome blocks extensions on chrome:// pages, other extension pages, and the Chrome Web Store. Local file:// pages need “Allow access to file URLs” on the extension’s details page.
Does it work on phones?
No. It needs desktop Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. Chrome on Android and iPhone cannot install extensions. What to do on a phone.
Does capture continue if I close the popup?
Yes. The service worker keeps scrolling and stitching. You still need to leave the tab in the foreground. Switching tabs stops the capture with “The tab changed”.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel is available while tiles are captured. A half-finished image is not saved.
