To take a scrolling screenshot of a web page in Windows 10, open the page in Microsoft Edge and press Ctrl + Shift + S. Select Capture full page, then select Save to keep it as an image. Edge captures the whole page, top to bottom, even the parts you’d have to scroll to see.
Applies to: Windows 10 with Microsoft Edge. Checked against Microsoft’s Edge guide on September 26, 2026.
Windows 10’s own screenshot tools, like Print Screen and Windows logo key + Shift + S, only capture what’s on the screen. They can’t scroll. For web pages, Edge’s capture tool is built in and free.
Capture a full web page in Edge
- Open the page in Microsoft Edge.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + S. You can also select Settings and more (…) > Screenshot. In older versions it’s called Web capture.
- Select Capture full page.
- In the preview, select Save. The image goes to your Downloads folder.
You can also select Copy to paste it somewhere else, or Draw to mark it up first.
Capture part of a page
Press Ctrl + Shift + S, select Capture area, and drag across the part you want. Then select Copy to paste it somewhere, or Markup capture to draw on it and save it.
Capture a full page in Firefox or Chrome
- Firefox: right-click an empty part of the page and select Take Screenshot, then select Save full page. Choose Download to save it as a PNG.
- Google Chrome: press F12 to open Developer tools, then press Ctrl + Shift + P. Type screenshot, select Capture full size screenshot, and Chrome saves a PNG to your Downloads folder. Press F12 again to close the tools.
Long screenshots in other apps
For documents and apps, there’s no built-in scrolling capture in Windows 10. Some options:
- Save or print the document as a PDF instead of taking a screenshot. Select Print and choose Microsoft Print to PDF.
- Take several screenshots with Windows logo key + Shift + S as you scroll.
- Use a trusted screen capture app that has a scrolling mode. For example, the free, open-source ShareX (also in the Microsoft Store) has Capture > Scrolling capture, which scrolls the window for you and stitches the images into one. Download apps only from their official websites or the Microsoft Store.
If the full-page capture doesn’t work
- Ctrl + Shift + S does nothing in Edge. Another app may use the same shortcut. Select Settings and more (…) in Edge and choose Screenshot instead.
- Capture full page isn’t offered. It doesn’t work on some pages, such as PDFs opened in Edge or Edge’s own settings pages. Use Capture area, or print the page to PDF.
- Pictures are blank in the capture. Many sites only load images as you scroll. Scroll to the bottom of the page first, scroll back to the top, and then capture.
- The capture stops partway down. Pages that keep loading more as you scroll, like social media feeds, can’t be captured in full. Capture the part you need.
- Text looks blurry on a very long page. Very tall captures may be scaled down. Capture the page in a few sections instead.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Edge screenshots go?
Saved captures go to your Downloads folder as JPEG files.
Can the Snipping Tool take a scrolling screenshot?
No. The Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch in Windows 10 only capture what’s on the screen.
How do I take a normal screenshot?
See how to take a screenshot on Windows 10.
Is it better to save a web page as a PDF?
Often, yes. Press Ctrl + P in your browser and choose Microsoft Print to PDF or Save as PDF. The text stays sharp and searchable, and links keep working, which a picture can’t do.
Can I take a scrolling screenshot in Windows 11?
Not with Snipping Tool alone. Use the same browser tools on Windows 11. See how to take a screenshot in Windows 11 for the other built-in options.
Can I edit the screenshot after I take it?
Yes. In Edge, select Markup capture to draw or highlight before you save. You can also open the saved image in Paint or the Photos app to crop it.
