Best screenshot app for Mac: free and paid tools compared
The best screenshot app for Mac depends on what you capture. We compare the built-in tool, Shottr, CleanShot X, Snagit and a Chrome extension by task.
Read articleFull page screenshot is a Chrome extension for people who need the whole webpage, not only the part that fits on screen. It scrolls the page for you, collects every section and hands you one finished file. No account, no upload step, no image stitching in a separate editor.
Two capture modes cover almost every task. “Capture Full Page” walks through the document from the first heading to the footer, including the content that sits far below the fold. “Capture Selected Area” lets you drag a frame around one table, one chart or one comment thread when the rest of the page is noise. Both modes finish in the same place: a preview you can check before anything is saved.
Pick the file format in the menu next to the capture mode before you start. PDF keeps a long page readable as a document you can send or print. PNG keeps sharp text and interface edges. JPG produces a lighter file when you only need to show what the page looked like. All three come from the same capture, so nothing is re-rendered or degraded between modes.
Endless feeds, documentation pages and dashboards break simple screenshot tools: images load late, headers follow the scroll and repeat in every frame. The extension scrolls in steps, waits for images that load on demand and keeps fixed elements from stamping themselves over the result, so the finished file reads like the page and not like a stack of frames.
Every file you save stays in History. Open it to preview a capture full screen, share it through the system share menu, send it straight to a printer or download it again on another day. It turns the extension from a one-off tool into a small archive of the pages you cared about.
Yes. You can install it from the Chrome Web Store and capture pages without creating an account.
It works on normal web pages you can open in Chrome. Browser system pages and the Chrome Web Store itself are protected by Chrome and cannot be captured by any extension.
Yes. Capture as many pages as you like; each finished file is listed separately in History.
