Google Chrome has a built-in option to take screenshots of the web page. You must open the Developer Tools, invoke the built-in command tool, and select the desired option to take a screenshot.
Alternatively, you can use Chrome extensions to take screenshots if you find the feature needs to be more helpful or more technical.
In this guide, I have shared instructions about:

Take a FullPage Screenshot using Developer Tools
The Chrome browser allows taking different sizes and selecting areas for capturing the screenshot. Here is the built-in shortcut for screenshots when using Developer Tools:
- Launch Google Chrome on the computer.
- Keypress + + to open the Developer mode.
For Mac, keypress + + for Developer tools. - Next, keypress + + to invoke built-in Command options.
For Mac, keypress + + . - Search for the term screenshot in the field.
- Select the appropriate screenshot action, like Capture full size screenshot.
A full-size page screenshot will be automatically downloaded.
The screenshot is automatically saved into the Downloads folder on your computer.
Bottom Line
Google Chrome’s built-in shortcut for taking a full-page screenshot has been a much-needed service. There are also a few other screenshot sizes available:
- Capture area screenshot: help select the area within the browser to capture.
- Capture node screenshot: take a screenshot of the node.
- Capture screenshot: Take a screenshot of the visible area without selecting crosshair.
If you find the built-in feature too technical, you can take the help of screenshot extensions like Awesome Screenshot, FireShot, GoFullPage, etc.
