Best Chrome Extensions for Full-Page Screenshots in 2026: How to Choose
What actually differs between them: sticky headers, editing, privacy and extras.
Choose a Chrome full-page screenshot extension by four things: whether sticky headers repeat, whether editing tools are free, whether images stay on your computer, and extras like video or PDF. ClickSnap (made by us) shows the header once and includes free annotation and blur with nothing uploaded; GoFullPage is a simple one-click option; Awesome Screenshot focuses on cloud sharing and video. Chrome DevTools also has a built-in full-size screenshot command.
How to choose
Most full-page screenshot extensions do the basic job: scroll a page and save it as one image. The differences that matter in practice are:
- Sticky headers: does the navbar repeat on every screen of the capture?
- Editing: can you add arrows, steps and blur without another app, and is that free?
- Where your images go: do they stay on your computer, or upload to a cloud account?
- Extras: screen recording, PDF export, share links.
A note on bias: we make ClickSnap. We’ve described the other tools from their public listings rather than lab tests, and prices and plans change, so check each one’s current page before deciding.
The options
| Extension | Good for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| ClickSnap | Full pages with the header shown once; arrows, steps, blur and frames, free; nothing uploaded | No GIFs or share links; OCR is English-only; pages over 16,384 px are saved as parts |
| GoFullPage | Simple one-click full-page capture | Check which editing tools are in its paid plan |
| Awesome Screenshot | Capture plus video, with cloud sharing and team features | Built around uploading to its service |
| Nimbus Capture | Screenshots and video tied to Nimbus Note | Most useful if you use their workspace |
| FireShot | Full-page capture with PDF export | Some features are in the paid version |
| Lightshot | Quick area screenshots | Shared images go to public prnt.sc links |
No extension at all: Chrome DevTools has a built-in “Capture full size screenshot” command (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P inside DevTools), and Edge has Web Capture (Ctrl + Shift + S). Both are fine for occasional plain captures.
Desktop apps such as Snagit, CleanShot X (Mac) and ShareX (Windows) do much more, including system-wide capture and video editing, but they’re separate programs rather than browser extensions.
Which one fits you
- You just need the occasional plain capture: DevTools or Edge Web Capture.
- You annotate, blur or share screenshots in docs and tickets, and want them to stay private: ClickSnap.
- You need shareable links and team video: Awesome Screenshot or a desktop app.
- You export long pages to PDF often: FireShot or ClickSnap (both export PDF).
Why we built ClickSnap
We kept getting the same navbar stamped ten times across our captures, then opening another app to blur an API key and add arrows. ClickSnap hides sticky headers after the first screen, has the editing tools built in, and keeps everything in your browser.
