How do I take a full page screenshot in Microsoft Edge?

Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on a Mac) to open Web capture, choose Capture full page, then save or copy the image. You can also find Screenshot in the ... menu at the top right.

Why is Edge's full page capture missing images or cut off?

Web capture takes the page as it is laid out, so images that load only as you scroll can come out blank, and content that scrolls inside a panel (web mail, chat, dashboards) is captured only as far as the panel shows. Scroll to the bottom first, or use an extension that scrolls and waits for images.

Can I use Chrome extensions in Edge?

Yes. In Edge, open the Chrome Web Store, click 'Allow extensions from other stores' in the banner, and then 'Add to Chrome' installs the extension in Edge.

Where does Edge save screenshots?

Web capture opens the image in a small editor. Click the save icon to download it to your Downloads folder, or copy it to paste somewhere else.

Full page screenshots in Microsoft Edge

Edge can capture a whole scrolling page by itself, with no extension: it's called Web capture. Here's how to use it, where it falls short, and what to use when it does.

Web capture: the built-in way

Open the page and press Ctrl+Shift+S (on a Mac, Cmd+Shift+S). Or open the … menu and choose Screenshot.
Choose Capture full page. (Capture area is for part of the screen.)
The image opens in a small editor where you can draw on it. Click the save icon to download it, or copy it.

If the shortcut does nothing, use the … menu instead: some Edge versions have changed the shortcut, your organisation may have turned Web capture off, or another app may have claimed the keys.

When the capture comes out wrong

Problem	Why	Fix
Blank or grey images lower down	They load only when scrolled into view	Scroll to the bottom and back up, then capture
Only one screenful of an email or chat	The content scrolls inside a panel, not the page	Use a tool that can capture a scrolling panel (below)
Header or cookie banner covering content	Sticky elements are part of the layout	Close banners first
The page is cut off at the bottom	Very long pages exceed the capture limit	Save as PDF, or capture in parts

Using a screenshot extension in Edge

Edge runs extensions from the Chrome Web Store. Open an extension's Chrome Web Store page in Edge, click Allow extensions from other stores in the banner at the top, confirm, then click Add to Chrome. It installs in Edge.

Full Page Screenshot (works in Chrome and Edge, free)

Scrolls the page slowly so images load, shows sticky headers once, and can capture a panel that scrolls on its own, like a Gmail message list. Saves PNG, JPEG or PDF, and can black out emails, phone and card numbers before the image is made. No account, nothing uploaded.

Saving the page as a PDF instead

For text you want to keep or search later, a PDF is often better than a picture: Ctrl+P, set Printer to Save as PDF, and save. The layout can differ from the screen because sites style pages for printing. More on saving pages as PDF.
