How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot on a Mac (Chrome)

Why Cmd+Shift+4 isn’t enough

macOS screenshots (`Cmd + Shift + 3`, `4` and `5`) capture the screen, not the page. Anything below the fold is missing. Chrome itself doesn’t have a menu item for a full-page capture either.

Method 1: ClickSnap (fastest, with editing)

1. Install ClickSnap and pin it.
2. Open the page and press `Option + Shift + F`, or click the ClickSnap icon and choose Full Page.
3. ClickSnap scrolls the page, hides sticky headers so they appear once, and opens the editor.
4. Press Copy and paste into Slack, Notion or Keynote, or export PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF.

Progress shows on the toolbar icon; press Esc to cancel.

Method 2: Chrome DevTools (built in, no editing)

1. Press `Cmd + Option + I` to open DevTools.
2. Press `Cmd + Shift + P` to open the command menu.
3. Type full size screenshot and press Return.
4. Chrome saves a PNG to your Downloads folder.

This works without installing anything, but sticky headers and lazy-loaded images can come out wrong, and there’s no way to annotate.

Which to use

• Once, quickly, nothing to install: DevTools.
• Regularly, or you need arrows, steps or blur: ClickSnap.
