Chrome's full page screenshot is buried in DevTools. No extensions needed, but it's not obvious.
Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Cmd+Option+I (Mac) to open Developer ToolsCtrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac)screenshot and click "Capture full size screenshot"Done. Chrome saves a PNG of the entire page to your Downloads folder.
When you type "screenshot" in step 4, you'll see a few choices:
What works well: Most standard websites, blogs, landing pages, and documentation sites capture perfectly.
What doesn't work as well: Very long pages (Chrome has a height limit around 16,000 pixels), sites with lazy-loading images (scroll through first), and web apps like Gmail or Google Docs (they use internal scrolling).
Chrome's DevTools work for occasional screenshots, but if you need to capture screenshots regularly or at scale, a dedicated API is more practical.
AllScreenshots captures full-page screenshots without Chrome's height limitations:
curl -X POST 'https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/screenshots' \
-H 'X-API-Key: your-api-key' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url": "https://example.com", "fullPage": true}' \
-o screenshot.pngThe API handles lazy-loaded images, blocks ads and cookie banners, and works from any environment. No browser required.
