Full page screenshot in Chrome, not just the part you can see

To take a full page screenshot in Chrome, install this extension, click it, and choose Full page. It scrolls the whole webpage, stitches every viewport into one image, hides sticky headers so they do not repeat, and saves the result to your downloads. Nothing is uploaded and it asks for no access to the sites you visit.

Capture an entire scrolling page, the visible area, or a region you draw. Cleanor scrolls, stitches, and hides sticky headers so they do not repeat down your screenshot. Everything happens on your device, and the extension asks for no access to the sites you visit.

  • Full page, stitched
  • No site access
  • No watermark
  • No account
Full Page Screenshot Chrome extension capturing a whole scrolling page, 7 of 9 slices stitched, with no site access requested.

One toolbar button, everything on your device

Everything you would juggle across websites, done locally in a couple of clicks.

The full scrolling page

It scrolls the page one viewport at a time and stitches the result into a single image, re-measuring on every step so lazy-loading and infinite-scroll pages are handled instead of being cut off.

Sticky headers, once

Fixed and sticky bars are hidden while it captures, so the nav bar appears at the top of your screenshot rather than repeating every few hundred pixels down the middle of it.

Visible area, or any region

Grab exactly what is on screen, or drag a box around a chart, a quote, or an error message. Esc cancels. The result lands straight in your downloads.

It cannot see your browsing

There is no "read your data on all websites" in this extension, because it does not need it. It can read a page only in the moment you tell it to capture that page, and not one second before.

Right-click, or a shortcut

Right-click any page for the three capture modes, use the toolbar button, or press Alt+Shift+S to grab the full page without touching the mouse.

Sensible file names and formats

Files are named for the site and the moment they were taken, so a folder of screenshots is still readable a month later. Small captures stay lossless PNG; very large ones are saved as JPEG so they write instantly.

See it in action

Swipe, or scroll sideways. Every shot is the real interface, not a mock-up.

How to take a full page screenshot in Chrome

No onboarding, no account. Install it and use it straight away.

  1. 1

    Add to Chrome

    Install it from the Chrome Web Store. No sign-up, no setup, and it asks for no site access at install or afterwards.

  2. 2

    Pick a capture mode

    Full page, visible area, or a region you draw. From the toolbar button, a right-click, or Alt+Shift+S.

  3. 3

    It is already in your downloads

    No preview step, no editor to click through, no upload. The image is saved on your device the moment it is stitched.

Exactly what it asks for, and what it does not

The permissions are on the store listing too. They are here because a list you have to go and find is not transparency.

It asks for

activeTab
Read the page, only in the moment you press capture on it.
scripting
Scroll and measure the page, and draw the region selector.
downloads
Save the finished image.
contextMenus
The right-click entries.
storage
Remember one preference: the folder to save into.

It never asks for

  • Access to all sites
  • Your browsing history
  • Your cookies
  • Your tabs
  • A debugger on the page
  • Screen recording

Not "we promise not to use it". It is not in the manifest, so the browser would not give it to us if we changed our minds.

What it will not do

Every tool has an edge. Knowing where it is beats finding out halfway through a job.

It stops at 14 screens

An infinite feed never ends, so a full-page capture has to stop somewhere. It caps at 14 viewports, which is far past any real page and short of a Twitter timeline that would run until your memory did.

A very long page becomes a JPEG

Above roughly 2.5 megapixels the result is saved as a high-quality JPEG, not a PNG. A lossless file that size takes so long to write that the browser appears to hang.

It cannot capture Chrome itself

Extensions may photograph a web page, not the browser UI, the downloads bar, or another extension's popup. That is Chrome's rule, not ours.

Private by design

This capture engine started life inside the Cleanor image extension. It is now its own extension, with its own permissions, so a tool that only needs to photograph a page never asks for anything more than that.

Frequently asked questions

Does it capture the whole page, or only what I can see?

The whole page. It scrolls through the document and stitches every viewport into one image. It re-measures after each step, so pages that load more content as you scroll are captured rather than cut off at the first screen.

Why do other screenshot extensions repeat the header down the image?

Because a sticky or fixed header stays on screen at every scroll position, so a naive stitch photographs it once per slice. This extension hides fixed and sticky elements while it captures, and restores them afterwards.

Does it need access to the websites I visit?

No, and it never asks for it. It uses the activeTab permission, which grants access to a single page only at the moment you invoke the extension on it. Check the permissions on the store listing: there is no "read your data on all websites".

Are my screenshots uploaded anywhere?

No. The capture is stitched and encoded inside your browser and saved straight to your downloads folder. There is no server, no account, and no upload.

Is there a watermark?

No. No watermark, no sign-up, no trial that expires, and no upsell inside the extension.

Why is a long screenshot a JPEG rather than a PNG?

A full-page capture is often tens of megapixels, and a PNG that size becomes a file so large the browser stalls while writing it. Above roughly 2.5 megapixels the extension switches to a high-quality JPEG, which encodes in about a tenth of a second. Smaller captures stay lossless PNG.
