How to Take a Screenshot of an Entire Webpage in Safari on a Mac

Taking screenshots of a webpage is a normal operation for many. Perhaps it’s to capture an image for a meme, graphs for a presentation, or to send that annoying error message to a disbelieving customer service rep. Whatever the reason, some of the standard Mac screenshot options may not do the trick.

Most of us are familiar with Shift-Command-3 to capture the entire screen, or Shift-Command-4 to capture a selected portion of a screen. You may even be familiar with Shift-Command-5 to capture a single window. But what if you want to take a scrolling screen capture of an entire webpage? The aforementioned tools can’t do that – they can only capture visible areas of your screen. So, is it even possible to take a screenshot that includes a portion of a webpage you would normally need to scroll to see?

Yes, there is! But it does take a few extra steps than just executing a single keystroke combination.

Screenshot a Webpage

Open Safari and go to “ Safari > Preferences… “
Click the Advanced tab and toggle on “ Show Develop menu in menu bar .”

Navigate to the webpage you want to capture and from the Develop menu, choose “ Show Web Inspector .” Alternatively, you can hit alt-command-I (⌥⌘I).

Show Web Inspector in develop menu in safri

Select the Elements tab and right-click on the line that begins with “<html…”
Choose Capture Screenshot

Give it a moment to do it’s magic, and then select a name and location to save the file.

All done! Well, almost…

This could just be an issue I run into, but when capturing entire pages in this manner, there is a lot of empty container buffer around the image in the PNG file. You can see this in the Quick Preview of the file:

Let’s fix that.

Open the file in Preview . If Preview is already your default application to open PNG files, you can simply double-click its icon.

Drag the crosshairs in the empty area around the image. You’ll see the empty space selected and highlighted in red. Drag too far, and you’ll pick up the image itself. Don’t do that, we only want to select the empty area.

When you let go of the mouse button, the highlighted color will disappear and be replaced with a dotted line indicating the selected area.

Hit Shift-Command-I (⇧⌘I) to invert the selection.

Hit Control-K (⌘K) to crop the image to the selection.
Now you can hit Save (⌘S) and you truly are done. One cleaned up screenshot of an entire webpage.

OH man, Thank you so much for this post. it really helped me and saved a lot of my time.

Thanks for the helpful screen capture. I cannot get the clean up to work. The Shift+Command+I doesn’t work and I cannot get the Control+K to work. Can select the red area but that’s it.

Hoping you can help.

You show us how to capture OTHER web pages but NOT your own? That’s not cool dudes! If its not NOT for you, its not OK for anyone, right?

on Catalina, the part involving Preview to crop the image was a bit different, but I figured it out. Click on the show Markup Toolbar icon, then click on Rectangular Selection, then draw a box around the bit of interest, then click on “crop” in the toolbar. Repeat if needed. Zoom as needed.

Thanks for the insight!

Tried it on the article and when I try to pen saved .png I get message that either file is corrupted or can’t open the file format.

I ran into this also, then I quickly realized the file does not have the .png extension. Recaptured the screen and ensured when renaming the file, I added .png. Opened as a webpage though not as a preview. Still to figure out how to set preview as the default file opener for png files.

I’ve often wanted to do this. However, on this very page, while the initial steps seem to work, the resulting .png is un-openable by Preview or Pixelmator Pro or Quicklook. (“It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.”)

File->Print->Save as PDF, and File->Export as PDF work as expected in Safari (full HTML-rendered page) with the added features of selectable text and extractable images in the PDFs (for those memes y’all). ~Tim~ macOS Big Sur, 11.4 Safari 14.1.1

Awesome tip! These are the articles that make it worthwhile to keep visiting Rocket Yard of OWC. Thanks. BTW an application to do it is Paparazzi! (but it does not work in all cases) https://derailer.org/paparazzi

I just tried that same Apple webpage with Safari 14.1.1 in OS 11.4. Went to File > Export as PDF… and bingo! Got a nice high-res 8.2MB PDF on my desktop instantly. Image is clean, no unexpected margins.

That works! Thank you!

Huh. I just tried that in Mojave with the latest Safari (14.1.2), using this webpage for the test.

I end up with a 20.6mb file ending in .PNG format, but which will not open. It’s either “damaged” or in a format that Preview can’t open.

In most other applications, this function would be easily performed using the Print button, and then Save as PDF. It is truly unfortunate that web developers have blocked the normal Print functionality on the web.

How to Screenshot An Entire Webpage on Mac

In iOS, Apple's Safari browser includes a built-in screenshot feature that lets you capture entire webpages on your iPhone or iPad for sharing elsewhere.

Note that in step 4, you can drag or click on the page to select a region and then save just that region by clicking Download , or you can save just the visible area of the page by clicking Save visible in the top-right corner.

Tip: You can also customize the Firefox toolbar to add a Screenshot button. Click the Menu button (three lines) in the top-right corner of the browser window. A special tab will open, where you can drag and drop items in or out of the overflow menu and the toolbar. Simply drag the Screenshot item (the cutting scissors icon) to the toolbar, then click Done .

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to take full page screenshots in safari on iphone & ipad.

Have you ever wanted to take a full webpage screenshot in Safari on iPhone or iPad? Now you can do exactly that with the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, where you’re able to snap full page screenshot and save it as a PDF file, which can then be shared, saved locally, edited, printed, or anything else you’d like to do with it.

Android smartphones have had the ability to capture scrolling screenshots for quite a while now. Also known as full page or long screenshots, this feature allows users to take a screenshot of an entire web page and share it with anyone, which is a lot more convenient than taking multiple screenshots. Until now, iOS had lacked this functionality, but you don’t have to feel like you’re left out anymore. With iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and later, Apple allows you to take full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad, though the feature is limited to the Safari web browser .

Are you one of those iOS users who felt like you were missing out on such a nifty feature? Look no further, because in this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can take full page screenshots using Safari on iPhone and iPad. Let’s get right to it.

Since this feature was introduced alongside recent iOS versions, you need to make sure your iPhone and iPad is running iOS 13 / iPadOS 13 or later. Capturing full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad is fairly similar to taking any regular screenshot , except you have to choose a specific option that saves the whole web page as a file. Here’s how this works:

Open “Safari” web browser from the home screen of your iPhone and iPad, then visit a website or webpage you want to take a full page screenshot of.

Next, tap on the thumbnail of the screenshot in the bottom corner of the screen to bring up the markup and sharing option menu for that screen shot

How to take a full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad in Safari

Now that you’ve taken a full webpage screenshot in Safari, you might be wondering how to locate that full page screenshot on the iPhone or iPad. That’s what we’ll discuss next.

How to Find and Share Full Page Screenshots on iPhone & iPad

Unlike regular screenshots that get saved to Photos app as a PNG file, “Full Page” screenshots get saved as a PDF file that can be accessed using the Files app on your iPhone and iPad. Simply follow the steps below to find and share your screenshots.

Those are the steps that you need to follow in order to snap, find, and share your Full Page screenshots.

The brief video below shows the process of taking full page screenshots on an iPhone; taking the screenshot, tapping the thumbnail, selecting ‘Full Page’ from the tab options, then tapping on ‘Done’ so you can save the full webpage screenshot as a PDF file to your device or elsewhere (you can also share it directly from that screen).

Prior to this feature being native to screenshots in the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, your only option was to grab multiple screenshots and stitch them together using a third-party application from the App Store, but having this feature built in is much more convenient.

Apple took some time to bring these full page scrolling screenshots to iOS devices, but now that it’s here it’s quite useful particularly for anyone who works with the web, or even if you just want to save a webpage locally.

The feature is not perfect however, as it only applies to Safari thus far and you can’t really use other third-party web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Focus, etc for capturing Full Page screenshots with this technique. Thus if you don’t use Safari for browsing on iPhone or iPad, you’re out of luck for easy full page screenshots.

Additionally, while you can snap full webpage screenshots, you can’t take Full Page screenshots within other apps like Mail, Facebook, Instagram, etc (yet at least, but perhaps that will arrive in a future version of iOS and iPadOS?).

Finally, remember that all of these full page screenshots aren’t really images, but instead they’re saved as PDF files. That may be inconvenient to access and share compared to JPEG and PNG files like regular screenshots, but it also may be a necessity for capturing the full length of a webpage and being able to view it properly.

What do you think of Full Page Screenshots within Safari on iPhone and iPad? Do you see yourself using this feature to capture whole web pages? Let us know your thoughts, experiences, and opinions in the comments section down below.

This is a cool but useless feature unless the screenshot is saved as, well, a screenshot (JPG or PNG). Saving it as a PDF is useless. PDFs don’t show up in Photos and so can’t be shared via Messages.

Linda! Thank you for this. I have IPhone XS and and a 13 iOS. This works only if you search for website in Safari. If you are in Google (which I do almost exclusively even though my son tells me not to) you will NOT get the full page tab. Search for the website you want In the Safari browser not in Google.

I have the same problem with mr.Carlos. Only part of the full website is captured, maybe there’s a limitation of how long you can captured..

This would be great……..if it worked properly! Having gone through the steps as instructed, the saved webpage is incomplete. Realising that each part of the page generated as I scrolled down, I let that happen before taking the screenshot. It worked….in part. Half of the webpage is missing. I haven’t been able to solve this issue. So, useless!

Great tip. As well as in Safari, I have been able to use this in Apple’s iOS/iPadOS Mail and Numbers apps.

I use the Tailor app. Saves to your Photos. I like that better then as a PDF.

Here is how to snap a full webpage screenshot with iPhone or iPad:

– Open Safari

– Go to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad (press Volume Up and Power, or Home button + Power, depends on your device)

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

– You can then use the Share option to send it to someone directly, or to email it or save it

– If you tap on Done you will have the immediate option to “Save as PDF” to save the entire webpage screenshot as a PDF file

There you have it. This is a great feature.

This did not work for me with an iPhone XS MAX. Tried it a couple of times and all I get is the screen to power off the phone.

Nedda, after you take the screenshot of the webpage in Safari, immediately tap on the thumbnail icon of the screenshot that appears in the corner of the screen. Then you’ll be in the markup screen where you can select “Full Page” to snap the full webpage screenshot.

Hope that helps!

I tried it .. just upgrade to 13.3.1 . and when i hit those two buttons it takes a snapshot and doesn’t give me any options for Full or not

It’s hidden behind the editing toolbar. Slide the toolbar out of the way and you’ll see the missing menu

IPad Pro (first version) iPadOS 13.3.1. Safari Sorry Linda but this does not work here. I just get a screenshot saved in photos.

Hi, not working on iPad Air running iOS 13…don’t get the tabs, just takes screenshot

Tap on the thumbnail after you take the screenshot in Safari, that’s how you access the the tabs to choose the full page screenshot option!

I am running IOS 13.3 on an iPhone XR, this feature is not present!

On my iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, using Power + Home button in Safari, I only get the standard prtscrn image.

I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, I use Power button + Home on Safari, and I only get the standard printscreen to image.

How can I stop getting mail from my old discontinued Blackberry account?

Be aware you must choose FULL PAGE very quick on an iPad or in a blink it defaults to screen.

Finally! Long overdue feature.

So will I not be able to take a photo? I want to be able to create a jpg in Safari.

I have an Xr iPhone with the very latest and tabs do not show either.

This is a great tip! Thanks a lot Paul 😊

The “two tabs” shown in step 3 do not appear on an iPhone 8 or an iPhone X. Are you sure this isn’t just a trick for iPhone 11?

Positively this is for every iPhone or iPad that runs the latest iOS / ipadOS releases. If you’re not using Safari or on iOS 13 or later you will not have this full page screen shot option however.

No, the “two tabs” do not appear on my iPhone X either. I am running the latest 13.3.1 software

You neglected to tell people to click on the thumbnail screenshot image (before it disappears) that was created by pressing the button combinations in step 2.

Only then will the options in step 3 be available.

I agree with Fulano. I am running ios13 on my iPhone X and this functionality does not exist.

I’m running iOS 13 on my iPhone X and iPadOS 13.4 on iPad and the functionality DOES EXIST, there is an extra step that some of you are missing however. Here is how you do this:

– Open Safari

– GO to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

There you have it, doing it right now as we speak!

This is a feature that Apple openly talks about on their own website and it’s a good one. Remember to tap that thumbnail in Safari after the screenshot, that’s how you can select FULL PAGE!

I, too, had trouble finding the tabs at first. There’s a step missing: the tabs are in the temporary screenshot that appears at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad screen. Tap on that temporary image and you will see the tabs and be able to follow the rest of the instructions.

How to take a full-page screenshot in any iPhone app

In this tutorial, we will show you how to take a full-page screenshot in Apple apps like Safari, Mail, Notes, Maps, and Files, as well as any other non-Apple apps like Google Chrome, Firefox, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.

Full web page screenshot in iPhone Photos app

If you’ve ever wanted to send a screenshot that shows more than what’s on your screen, then you may want to consider sending a full-page scrolling screenshot.

The process is similar to taking a regular screenshot , but with a full-page version, you get to share more.

Use the built-in full-page screenshot tool on iPhone

iOS has a native option to capture the entire web page, note, email, PDF, or map in one go and save it as an image to the Photos app, or as a PDF to the Files app.

This native screenshot tool works with Safari (when you’re on a web page) and a few other Apple apps like Notes (when you’re inside a note), Mail (when you’re inside an individual email), the Files app (when you’ve opened a PDF), and Apple Maps (when you’ve a map on the screen).

The steps to capture a full-page screenshot in all these apps are similar. We’ve used Safari for this tutorial.

Open Safari , Notes , Mail , Files , or Maps on your iPhone or iPad.
Take a screenshot as you would normally do by pressing the Volume Up + Side button .
Now tap the screenshot preview that appears on the bottom corner of the screen.
Select Full Page from the top. A new preview window will appear next to the screenshot, where you can scroll to see the entire screen. You can also Markup and crop the screenshot.
Finally, tap Done and select Save to Photos or Save PDF to Files .

Take full page screenshot of a web page in Safari on iPhone and save it to Photos or Files app

The scrolling screenshot of the Safari web page or the concerned app is now ready. Depending on where you saved it, you’ll find it inside the Photos or Files app.

Crop the screenshot

Before saving the screenshot, you can also make changes to it. For example, you can use the Markup tools or crop the screenshot to remove any unwanted parts of the web page or the screen grab. To do that, tap the Crop button on top of the screen and adjust the screenshot per your requirement. After that, tap Done > Done and save it.

Don’t see the ‘Save to Photos’ option?

While the ability to save a full-screen capture as a PDF via the above method has existed for several years, you can save them as an image to the Photos app only on iOS 17 and later . So, make sure you update your iPhone to get the “Save to Photos” option.

Secondly, you won’t see the “Save to Photos” option if the web page, PDF, note, or email is extremely lengthy . However, it should have you covered for most web articles. In case the on-page ads make the screenshot lengthy, use Safari Reader Mode to strip the ads and then take a screenshot.

Take a scrolling screenshot in all other iPhone apps

Thanks to third-party apps like Picsew (paid version – $1.99), you can take scrolling screenshots anywhere you scroll vertically, like Chrome, Firefox, WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, App Library, Messages, Calendars, Reminders, and more, provided that particular app has not blocked the screenshot feature .

Here’s how to take a scrolling, long-form, full-page screenshot on any iPhone and iPad screen:

1) Download Picsew from the App Store. Now, open it and tap the gear icon > Advanced Features to upgrade to its Pro version.

2) Make sure the screen recording icon is added to your iPhone Control Center. If not, go to Settings > Control Center and tap the green plus icon for Screen Recording .

Add Screen Recording to iPhone Control Center

3) Be in the browser, app, or screen whose long screenshot you wish to take. From here, open the Control Center:

On iPhone with Face ID, swipe down from the top right corner.
On iPhone with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.

4) Long-press the screen recording icon .

5) Select Picsew and tap Start Broadcasting . You have three seconds to tap any empty area in the Control Center to return to the screen whose long screenshot you want.

Picsew Start Broadcast in iPhone Control Center

6) While Picsew is recording your screen (you will see a red pill shape or bar on top of your screen), scroll the page .

7) Once you have scrolled to the desired length (in the screenshots below, you can see I have scrolled from the top of the article to the bottom), tap the red pill shape or red bar from the top of your iPhone to stop the screen recording. At times, you might also see a notification from Picsew saying it has finished the screen recording.

8) Open Picsew from the popup or the Home Screen.

9) The app has already stitched several images one after another, creating a long screenshot. Optionally, you can use the tiny yellow pencil icon to adjust individual images. Once done, tap the share icon from the top right and export it as an image or PDF.

The 7 Best iOS 18 Features Announced at WWDC 2024

3 ways to install older versions of apps on an older iphone, can't see photos on your iphone messages here's how to fix it.

In iOS 13 and later, iPhones and iPads can take scrolling screenshots that capture entire webpages in Safari. The best part is that it's almost exactly like taking a standard screenshot. But, instead of saving a screen-sized image, you save the full page as a scrollable PDF.

Here’s how to take scrolling screenshots in Safari.

How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot of a Webpage

To take a scrolling screenshot of a full webpage in Safari, follow these steps:

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage you want to screenshot.

Press the volume up button and the power button simultaneously to take a screenshot. If your iPhone has a Home button, press the Home button and the power button instead. (Learn how to take screenshots without a power button .)

Tap the Full Page option in the toggle near the top of the screen.

The view will change slightly to show the top portion of the scrolling screenshot and, next to it, a miniaturized overview of the entire screenshot down the side. You can scroll the main view of the screenshot by swiping up and down with two fingers.

Dragging the highlighted box on the miniaturized view to the right lets you quickly move the screenshot.

While you’re viewing the screenshot, crop it by tapping the Crop button (which looks like a square with overlapping lines) in the top toolbar. You can also edit it using the markup tools along the bottom of your iPhone’s screen.

When you’re finished cropping and marking up the screenshot, tap the Share button to save it to Files or send it to another app. Your iPhone will save the full webpage as a long, single-page PDF document.

If you want to delete the screenshot without saving it, tap Done and then tap Delete Screenshot .

Other apps can support the full-page screenshot feature, too. Apple’s Mail app is one example; however, it saves a paginated PDF rather than a scrollable single-page file.

One Screenshot Is Better Than Two

Previously, iOS users depended on third-party scrolling screenshot apps to share long webpages. Now, the feature is built right into iOS and works just like a standard screenshot. Once you’ve learned this skill, there are even more ways of taking screenshots on an iPhone to discover.

When browsing the internet, information is stored in your browser cache so you can quickly go back to a page without waiting for it to download again. While convenient, it slows down your computer. Tap or click here for instructions on clearing your browser cache .

Screenshots let you capture exactly what’s on your screen, be it a recipe, photo, app or conversation. But what if you want to capture an entire webpage without having to take a bunch of screenshots?

Some browsers have screenshot tools that make capturing what’s beyond the viewable area easy — a screenshot you can scroll through to see everything. No extensions or third-party apps are required!

Capture a scrolling screenshot with Firefox

Firefox has a straightforward process to capture an entire webpage:

Open a webpage in Firefox and right-click on an empty part of the page.
Select Take Screenshot from the drop-down list.
Select Save full page from the menu in the upper right.
The file will be saved to Firefox’s default download location.

Capture a scrolling screenshot with Chrome

The world’s most popular browser doesn’t require an extension for a scrolling screenshot, but the steps are more involved than others. You have to go through the developer tools. But don’t worry! We’ve got you covered:

Open a webpage in Chrome and press Ctrl + Shift + I to open DevTools.
Click the three-dot menu in the upper right and select Run command and type the word screenshot .
Click the Capture full size screenshot option.
The file will be saved to Chrome’s default download location.
Close DevTools when you’re done by clicking the X in the upper right.

Capture a scrolling screenshot with Edge

While you can capture an entire screen in Windows by hitting the Windows key + Print Screen , you won’t see what’s offscreen. But Microsoft’s Edge browser lets you do more:

Open a webpage in Edge and click the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
Select Web capture , then click the Capture full page option.
You’ll see a new scrolling window containing the webpage.
Click the save icon (it looks like a floppy disk) to save the image to Edge’s default download location.

Capture a scrolling screenshot with Safari

Like Chrome, Safari’s process for capturing full pages involves using developer tools. Still, it’s just a few steps:

Open a webpage in Safari and click Safari on the menu bar, then select Preferences .
Go to the Advanced tab and check the box next to the Show Develop menu in the menu bar .
Go to the webpage you want to capture and click Develop on the menu bar and then select Show Web Inspector .
A DevTools panel will open. Right-click or Control-Click on the first line starting with HTML and select Capture Screenshot (make sure you’re in the Elements tab).
Select a location and a filename for your screenshot. Click Save when you’re done.
Close DevTools when you’re done.

How To Take Full Page Screenshots In Safari For Mac

Safari comes as the default browser on Mac computers. It is a perfectly capable browser and if you prefer using native software instead of downloading third-party browsers, we get it. However, unlike Edge, there is no straightforward built-in tool for capturing full page screenshots in Safari.

We’re not sure if Apple ever plans to introduce the feature in an easier manner, but don’t worry, if capturing full page screenshots is something you’re interested in, there are ways around this problem which we will cover in the guide below, so read on to find out.

Saving Websites As PDFs

What’s interesting about this method is that if you try to take a scrolling screenshot on an iPhone , it actually saves as a PDF, so this method is pretty similar.

Open Safari
Go to the website you want to capture
Click on Show Reader View
From the menu, select File > Export as PDF
Choose the location and name and click Save

Note that because you’re saving it as a PDF file, it is actually not an image file. The upside to this method is that if you have a PDF editor, you can actually make some edits to the file like adding notes. The downside is that it is equally easy for someone else to make the same edits if they have the file, versus images which might be slightly trickier to manipulate seamlessly.

Using Safari’s Developer Tools

Similar to how Google approaches full page screenshots with Chrome, it appears that Apple has also hidden its full page screenshot tool for Safari behind its developer tools.

Click on Develop > Show Web Inspector
In the newly opened window, right click the very first line that reads “html”
Select Capture Screenshot
Save the file

The upside to this method is that if you don’t need to capture the entire page, you can just highlight portions of the code that you want to capture, but that’s assuming you know what you’re looking at. Also, Apple already built-in screen capture tools into macOS that will work in Safari (except it doesn’t do full page captures), so that would be an easier method than this.

Using Awesome Screenshot Extension For Safari

If neither of the options above sound appealing to you, then you might be interested to learn that you can use a browser extension for Safari called Awesome Screenshot that makes the entire process a lot simpler.

Download and install the Awesome Screenshot extension
Once the extension is installed, go to the website you want to capture
Click the extension’s icon and select Capture entire page
You can now make edits to the screenshot if you want
When you’re ready to save it, click the download icon and it’ll save it to your computer

Using TechSmith’s Snagit Desktop Tool

If you don’t mind paying for software, then perhaps TechSmith’s Snagit could be the end-all to all your screenshot needs. This is because Snagit won’t just work with Safari, but it will work across your Mac so in addition to capturing websites, you can use the Snagit tool to capture other screenshots like from applications, games, and so on.

Download and install Snagit
Launch Snagit and click the “All-In-One” tab to the left
Click the Capture button
Select the area of the website you want to capture and click the “Launch a Panoramic Capture” button
Click start and start scrolling down the website and click Stop when you’re done

Keep in mind that Snagit is not free. There is a free trial that you can check out to see if this is what you want, but once the trial is up, you’ll have to pay $50 for a single-user license. It is expensive, but if you think you can get your money’s worth, why not?

How to Screenshot an Entire Webpage

If you are looking for how to capture a full web page screenshot on Mac or PC, this post for you. I’ve tried a handful of tools and techniques that claim to be able to screenshot an entire webpage, but only a few still work as of this writing.

You want to get this done quickly, so I’ll show you how to do it step by step. I’ll also point out the pros and cons of each method, just wanted to save your time figuring out which method is the best for you.

This guide is for those who want to take a whole screenshot of the entire or long web page — meaning there are sections that aren’t totally visible on your screen.

If you simply want to capture a static window or a full desktop screen, this guide is not for you. You can use the built-in tools on your computer or phone to get that done quickly: Shift + Command + 4 (macOS) or Ctrl + PrtScn (Windows).

Don’t want to download any software or extension? Try Method 1 or Method 7 .
If you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser, try Method 2 .
If you want to capture the screenshots as well as make simple edits, try Method 3, 5, 6 .

Quick Update : For Mac users, it is even possible to capture a full-sized screenshot without a browser extension. 1. Open DevTools in Chrome (command + option + I) 2. Open the Command Menu (command + shift + P) and type in “screenshot” 3. Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”. 4. The captured image will be downloaded to your computer. — Tip contributed by our reader, Hans Kuijpers.

1. Print and Save an Entire Webpage as a PDF

2. firefox screenshots (for firefox users), 3. parallels toolbox for mac (safari), 4. awesome screenshot plugin (for chrome, firefox, safari), 5. capture a scrolling window or entire page with snagit, 6. capto app (for mac only), 7. capture a full-size screenshot on chrome without a browser extension, 8. web-capture.net, 9. full page screen capture (chrome extension), 10. paparazzi (mac only).

Suppose you want to extract, say, an Income Statement sheet from Yahoo Finance. First, open the page on a web browser. Here, I use Chrome on my Mac as an example.

Step 1: On the Chrome menu, click File > Print.

Step 2: Click the “Save” button to export the page into a PDF file.

Step 3: If you want to embed the financial sheet into a PowerPoint project, you may need to convert the PDF into an image in PNG or JPEG format first, then crop the image only to include the data part.

It’s quick.
No need to download any third-party software.
The screenshot quality is good.
Extra time may be needed to convert the PDF file into an image.
It’s difficult to directly customize the screenshots.

Firefox Screenshots is a new feature developed by the Mozilla team to help you take, download, collect and share screenshots. You can use this feature to quickly save a screenshot of an entire web page.

Step 1: Click on the Page actions menu in the address bar.

Step 2: Select the “Save Full Page” option.

Step 3: Now you can choose to download the image directly to your computer desktop.

Side note : I saw that this feature is still in BETA, so it’s not guaranteed that Firefox will keep it. But by the time this post was last updated, this feature is still accessible. Also, the most popular web browser like Apple Safari or Google Chrome doesn’t offer this feature yet.

If you want to take a scrolling screenshot on Mac, you’ll love this feature called “Screenshot Page” in Parallels Toolbox which includes a handful of small utilities.

Note: Parallels Toolbox is not freeware, but it offers a 7-day trial without any functional limitations.

Step 1: download Parallels Toolbox and install the app on your Mac. Open it and find Take Screenshots > Screenshot Page .

Step 2: Click on Screenshot Page and it will take you to another window asking to add an extension to Safari. Once you enable it, you’ll see this icon show up on your Safari browser.

Step 3: Select the page you want to screenshot and click on the Parallels Screenshot icon, it will then automatically scroll your page and take a screenshot and save as a PDF file on your desktop.

The quality of the output PDF file is very good.
You don’t have to scroll manually as the app will do it for you.
Besides screenshotting a webpage, you can also capture an area or window.
It takes a bit of time to install the app.
It’s not freeware, though a 7-day no limitation trial is provided.

Awesome Screenshot has a plugin that can capture all or part of any web page. Also, it allows you to edit the screenshots: You can comment, add annotations, blur sensitive information, etc. The plugin is compatible with major web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Here are the links to add the plugin:

Firefox (Note: since the Firefox Screenshots is now available, I don’t recommend this plugin any longer. See method 2 for more.)

I’ve tested the plugin on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and they all work well. To make things easier, I’ll use Google Chrome as an example. The steps for using Awesome Screenshot for Firefox and Safari are quite similar.

Step 1: Open the above Chrome link and click “ADD TO CHROME.”

Step 2: Hit “Add extension.”

Step 3: Once the extension icon shows up on the Chrome bar, click on it and select the “Capture entire page” option.

Step 4: Within a few seconds, that web page scrolls down automatically. A new page will open up (see below), showing you the screenshot with an editing panel that allows you to crop, annotate, add visuals, etc. Click “Done” when you’re finished.

Step 5: Hit the “download” icon to save the screenshot image. That’s it!

Extremely easy to use.
Image editing features are great.
It’s compatible with major web browsers.
The extension may encounter some operational issues, according to its developer. I haven’t experienced any such issues yet.

I really like Snagit ( review ). It’s a powerful screen capture and editing app that allows you to do almost anything related to screenshotting. To take a full screenshot of a web page, follow the steps below (I’ll use Snagit for Windows as an example):

Please note: Snagit is not freeware, but it has a 15-day free trial.

Step 1: Get Snagit and install it on your PC or Mac. Open the main capture window. Under Image > Selection , make sure you choose “Scrolling Window.” Hit the red Capture button to continue.

Step 2: Locate the web page you want to screenshot, then move the cursor to that area. Now Snagit will be activated, and you’ll see three yellow arrow buttons moving. The bottom arrow represents “Capture Vertical Scrolling Area,” the right arrow represents “Capture Horizontal Scrolling Area,” and the bottom-right corner arrow represents “Capture Entire Scrolling Area.” I clicked on the “Capture Vertical Scrolling Area” option.

Step 3: Now Snagit scrolls the page automatically and captures the off-screen parts. Soon, a Snagit Editor panel window will pop up with the screenshot it just took. See the available editing features listed there? That’s why Snagit stands out from the crowd: You can make as many changes as you’d like, with tons of options.

It’s able to capture a scrolling webpage as well as a window.
Powerful image editing features.
Very intuitive and easy to use.
It takes time to download and install the app (~90MB in size).
It’s not free, though it comes with a 15-day trial.

Capto is a productivity app for many Mac users, myself included. The core value of the app is to record screen videos on your Mac, but it also allows you to capture screenshots and save the images to its library. You then can easily edit, organize and share them.

Note: Similar to Snagit, Capto is also not freeware but it does offer a trial that you can take advantage of.

Here’s how to take an entire screenshot using Capto:

Step 1: Open the app and on the top of the menu, click on the “Web” icon. There you can choose to snap the URL of a webpage in different ways. For example, if you’re already on the page, simply click “Snap Active Browser URL”

Step 2: You can also edit the screenshot e.g. highlight an area, add an arrow or text, etc. using the tools on the left panel.

Step 3: Now Capto will extract the page elements and save an image to its library. You then select File > Export to save it locally.

Note: if you select to let Capto snap a web page from the active browser, this may take some time in case of a longer webpage.

Other Methods

During my exploration, I also found a few other working methods. I don’t want to feature them above because they aren’t as good considering the time and effort you need to invest and the quality of output. Nonetheless, they do work, so feel free to give some of them a try.

This tip was kindly shared by one of our readers, Hans Kuijpers.

Open DevTools in Chrome (OPTION + CMD + I)
Open the Command Menu (CMD + SHIFT + P) and type in “screenshot”
Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”.
The captured image will be downloaded to your computer.

It’s an online full-length website screenshot service. You first open the website , copy the URL of a web page you want to screenshot, and paste it here (see below). You can also choose which file format to export. Press “Enter” on your keyboard to continue.

Be patient. It took me about two minutes before I saw the message, “Your link has been processed! You can download file or ZIP archive.” Now you can download the screenshot.

No need to install any software.
Tons of ads on its website.
The screenshotting process is slow.
No image editing features.

Similar to Awesome Screenshot, Full Page Screen Capture is a Chrome plugin that is incredibly easy to use. Just install it ( here’s the link to its extension page) on your Chrome browser, locate the web page you want to capture and hit the extension icon. A screenshot is made almost instantly. However, I found it less appealing because it does not have the image editing features that Awesome Screenshot has.

Update: this app hasn’t been updated for quite a long time, there may be compatibility issues with the latest macOS. I thus don’t recommend it anymore.

Paparazzi! is a Mac utility designed and developed by Nate Weaver specifically for making screenshots of web pages. It’s quite intuitive. Just copy and paste the webpage link, define the image size or delay time, and the app will return the result for you. Once that’s done, click the download icon located on the bottom-right corner to export the screenshot.

The main concern I have is that the app was last updated quite a few years ago, so I’m not sure if it will be compatible with future macOS versions.

These are the different ways to take screenshots for a full or scrolling webpage. Like I said in the quick summary section, different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to choose the one that best fits your needs. I’ll leave it to you to choose which one(s) to use.

As always, if you’ve got any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Great article, I tried #7 and it worked like a charm! Thanks for your help.

my recommendation

GoFullPage : chrome extension

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gofullpage-full-page-scre/fdpohaocaechififmbbbbbknoalclacl/related?hl=en

Hey JP, it’s a great and insightful post for me. The way you have structured all the information with pros and cons about each way to take screenshots of a webpage is commendable. I liked Snagit- allowing me to capture a screenshot while scrolling windows and take a screenshot without using chrome extension on chrome. I appreciate your effort.

@Hans – that’s the most brilliant tip. I had no idea! Thank you!

Thanks! – What i have been looking for. Do you know a software to put a link in, so it will fit in the correct pixel?

Brilliant Firefox, quick as a snap of my fingers! Thank you very much for sharing!

Dear JP, I can’t get Awesome Screenshot with Safari. After the Sept 2019 update to Safari it no longer works. This drives me crazy. It was a great tool. And why can’t Safari & Mac make it work? I also can’t get “command+shift+4” to create a crosshair for taking a shot. Any suggestions? I would be so grateful. I currently have to bring up Preview to take a screenshot.

Many, many thanks, JP! Firefox worked brilliantly! Super easy! Exactly what I needed (as I didn’t want to install Chrome). Thank you so much for posting all this thorough information. Cheers from Australia!

I was using Awesome screen shot for years with Safari but now with the latest Update to Safari (Sept 2019) it no longer works (Mac gave me a notice that this plugin wouldn’t work any more.) I hope they update it. It was a great tool to quickly get a full page screen shot.

Very helpful, however I find the quality of the image (using Methods 3 and 7) was not very good, compared to what we get if we use the snipping tool for part of a website. Should we just expect that free tools aren’t going to have very good resolution?

I also found that both methods didn’t capture the full page of one website, but it was a training one, and I had to pay to access it … could it be that they set up the web page to limit how much of the screen you could capture (it got about 2/3 of it).

Thanks again,

That’s amazing! So many methods! Thanks very much! But there’s a problem after installing the plugin on safari according to the link. They didn’t work except the first option “Capture Visible Part of Page”. Besides, I can’t remove it just as the awesome screenshot on Chrome. There is no “remove” option.

Great article, thanks. Got the first one for both Safari and Chrome and I use it all the time now in Chrome. Works real well like an app so it feels natural too. Thanks again!

Nice researching and great sharing. Very very helpful!! Thank you very much!!

no 3-dot icon/button (Page Actions menu), or screenshot option, anywhere I could find in my Firefox 65.0.1

None of that in my 3 horizontal line “Open menu” option, either.

Can anyone guide me to this?

GrabzIt provides a free online screenshot tool that allows you to convert any webpage to a full length screenshot on demand or to a schedule.

https://grabz.it/screenshot-tool/

I want to capture excels and want scrolling both ways , down and right…can anybody please suggest which will e the best tool for this.

Thanks Inn advance!

Hey JP – YES! Time for a refresh on what still works. Tons of articles out there, some that were posted as far back as 2007.

A few notes:

Papparazzi – Worked for me sometimes. For longer pages it sometimes stalled out.

Fireshot – I nabbed this Chrome extension when Paparazzi wasn’t working smoothly. Works well and is easy to save to either PDF or JPG. But had trouble from time to time when the web page was a sprawling long one with lots of images.

Web-Capture – This is what I fall back on when all else fails. Even tho it can take a bit of time for longer pages, it usually gets them right.

Thanks for the notes!

Hi I’m trying to take scrolling screen shot of “pop-up” on my web browsers (Chrome & safari). None of the popular extensions are helping me to do that. Any suggestions?

PS: Workaround I’m using right now is to copy the visible section of the pop-up and scroll, repeat the process till the entire pop-up is covered.

Regards, Ravi

Great article. Very helpful! Thanks!

You are welcome. Glad that you find it helpful 🙂

It is even possible to capture a full sized screenshot without a browser extension. – Open DevTools in Chrome (OPTION + CMD + I) – Open the Command Menu (CMD + SHIFT + P) and type in “screenshot” – Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”. – That’s it… the captured image will be downloaded to your computer

Thanks for sharing that, Hans. 🙂

On my extremely long webpage it failed to capture the whole page. So probably there is a upper limit to how long a webpage you can capture with this tool.

By far the best solution for Chrome.

Thanks, that’s so useful – Awesome screenshot always captures sticky menus and repeats them down the screencap which is so annoying – this fixes that!

It’s not working for scrolling webpage

Awesome Hans!

Nice trick! Love it!! But I cannot get the “whole” page. For example, I tried on this page and only got to “4. Capture a Scrolling Window or Entire page with Snagit” section…

maybe it only happens to my computer?

This helped me so much, thank you!

Yeah, just get Snagit. It was by far the easiest way to get a scrolling screenshot!

How to Take a Screenshot of a Full Webpage and Export it as a PDF on Your iPhone

Users should know that screenshotting an entire webpage is rather simple on iOS.
While users originally needed to use Safari to accomplish this, recent updates to iOS allow for support from popular third-party apps.
There’s also a really easy way to screenshot a webpage on a Mac.

take screenshot full webpage export pdf iphone July 2023 Featured

Need to know how to take a full webpage screenshot and export it as a PDF on your iPhone? Worry not, for a solution is available. There can be instances when a user needs to screenshot an entire webpage, which isn’t as obvious as one would think. Whether this is for work or play, knowing how to take a screenshot on your iPhone can be quite handy. If you want to know how to take a full-page screenshot on an iPhone 11 or save a screenshot as a PDF on iOS 15, I’ve got you covered. Even better, there’s no need for a third-party app or any additional software. Those looking to capture a full webpage screenshot and export it to PDF format really only need to know one specific thing.

With that in mind, I’m going to show users how they’re able to screenshot an entire webpage and export it as a PDF on iPhone. I’ll also briefly discuss the compatibility and limitations of this full-page feature, while also showing some additional tips as well. Users should note that the ability to screenshot an entire page is going to require a certain version of iOS, so not every device model is going to be compatible with this feature. Nonetheless, knowing how to screenshot complete webpages is pretty useful, so let’s take a look at how to accomplish this with certain browsers, including Apple’s default browser.

How to Take Full-Page Screenshots on iPhone

If you need to take a screenshot of a full webpage and export it to a PDF on your iPhone, then Safari is going to be your go-to app for this task . Additionally, you can also use certain third-party browsers, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Time needed: 1 minute

To capture a full-page screenshot on your iPhone, follow these steps.

On devices with Face ID, you do this by pressing the side button and volume button at the same time. If you have Touch ID and a side button, press the Home button and the Side button at the same time. If your iPhone has a button on the top of the device, press the Home button and the top button at the same time.

Click Full Page Screenshot take screenshot full webpage export pdf iphone

That’s all there is to it! Using Safari, or virtually any third-party browser, you can take full-page screenshots of any webpage and save it as a PDF directly to your device. It’s quite a useful feature. However, there are some limitations that users should be aware of in the next section.

Compatibility and Limitations on iPhone

While Safari can save a screenshot of an entire webpage as a PDF, there are some limitations to this capability. For example, this feature was first introduced in iOS 13, so not every iPhone is going to be able to support this feature. Older iPhone models, such as the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and older models are not going to be able to take advantage of this feature.

Another important thing to know about this feature is that it works with any browser, so long as you are running a current version of iOS. When the feature first saw an introduction in iOS 13, the ability to screenshot an entire webpage was limited to just Safari. However, this feature now works with other browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox. If you’re running the latest version of iOS, you should be good to go. However, if you find that Google Chrome or Firefox isn’t working, try Apple’s default browser, Safari. This should help you get the ideal screenshot you’re looking for.

Users should also remember the plethora of Share options available when creating a screenshot on their iPhone. Remember steps four and five in the above how-to: rather than selecting Done, users can select the Share Button in the top-right corner for a wealth of options. For example, aside from being able to send the image through Messages, you can also implement AirDrop to send it to other Apple devices. Users are also able to copy the screenshot, add it to Notes, add it to a Shared Album, or save it directly to their files as a JPEG. Of course, users should remember that if they screenshot a webpage, it is likely to be a gigantic screenshot.

Introduction

Taking a screenshot is a handy skill that allows you to capture and save a snapshot of what's displayed on your screen. Whether you want to preserve a memorable moment, share information with others, or keep a record of important details, knowing how to take a screenshot on Safari can be incredibly useful. Safari, the default web browser for Apple devices, offers several methods for capturing screenshots, each with its own unique advantages. In this article, we'll explore three simple and effective ways to take a screenshot on Safari, empowering you to effortlessly capture and save images of web pages, online articles, or any other content you encounter while browsing the internet.

So, let's dive into the methods and learn how to capture and save screenshots using Safari on your Apple device.

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Capturing a screenshot on Safari using keyboard shortcuts is a quick and convenient method that allows you to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a selected portion with ease. These keyboard shortcuts are intuitive and can be executed seamlessly, making them a popular choice for many users.

Full Screen Screenshot

To capture the entire screen, simply press the Command + Shift + 3 keys simultaneously. Upon doing so, Safari will instantly capture a screenshot of the entire screen, including the browser window and any open tabs or applications in the background. The captured image will be automatically saved to your desktop, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

Screenshot of a Specific Window

If you wish to capture a screenshot of a specific Safari window, such as a single browser tab, you can do so by pressing Command + Shift + 4 followed by the Spacebar . This combination will transform your cursor into a camera icon, allowing you to click on the desired Safari window to capture a screenshot of it exclusively. Once captured, the image will be saved to your desktop, providing you with a focused snapshot of the selected Safari window.

Custom Selection Screenshot

For scenarios where you only need to capture a specific portion of the Safari window, the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + 4 enables you to create a custom selection screenshot. Upon pressing this combination, your cursor will transform into a crosshair, empowering you to select the exact area of the Safari window that you want to capture. Once the selection is made, releasing the mouse or trackpad will trigger the screenshot to be saved to your desktop, offering you a tailored image of the chosen portion.

By leveraging these keyboard shortcuts, you can efficiently capture screenshots while browsing on Safari, empowering you to preserve and share valuable visual information effortlessly. Whether you need to capture the entire screen, a specific window, or a custom selection, the keyboard shortcuts in Safari provide a seamless and efficient way to capture and save screenshots, enhancing your browsing experience and productivity.

Method 2: Using the Screenshot Toolbar

Another convenient method for capturing screenshots on Safari is by utilizing the built-in Screenshot Toolbar.

The Screenshot Toolbar provides various options for capturing specific portions of the screen, adding annotations, and even recording video clips, making it a versatile tool for visual documentation.

To access the Screenshot Toolbar while using Safari, simply follow these steps:

Capture and Save : Once the desired settings are configured, simply click on the "Capture" button within the Screenshot Toolbar to initiate the screenshot. The captured image will be saved to the designated location, ready for you to access and utilize as needed.

The Screenshot Toolbar not only streamlines the process of capturing screenshots on Safari but also offers additional features for annotating and editing the captured images. After taking a screenshot, the Screenshot Toolbar provides options for adding text, shapes, and other annotations to the image, empowering you to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content.

This method provides a modern and intuitive approach to taking screenshots on Safari, catering to a diverse range of visual documentation needs.

Method 3: Using the Preview App

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts and the Screenshot Toolbar, Safari users can also utilize the Preview app, a versatile and feature-rich tool that offers advanced capabilities for capturing and editing screenshots. The Preview app, which comes pre-installed on macOS devices, serves as a powerful image viewing and editing application, and it includes seamless integration with Safari for capturing and annotating screenshots.

To utilize the Preview app for capturing screenshots while browsing on Safari, follow these simple steps:

Access the Preview App : Once on the desired page, navigate to the Applications folder or use Spotlight Search to locate and open the Preview app.

Customize Screenshot Settings : After selecting the desired screenshot mode, the Preview app allows users to customize additional settings, such as setting a timer for delayed captures, choosing the save location for screenshots, and enabling options for showing the mouse pointer in the screenshot.

Annotate and Edit : Once the screenshot is captured, the Preview app provides a comprehensive set of tools for annotating and editing the image. Users can add text, shapes, arrows, and other annotations to highlight specific details or provide context to the captured content. Additionally, the app offers features for cropping, resizing, and adjusting the image, empowering users to refine the screenshot according to their preferences.

Save and Share : After annotating and editing the screenshot, users can save the image in their preferred format and share it with others as needed. The Preview app supports various image file formats, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in sharing the captured screenshots.

By leveraging the Preview app, Safari users can elevate their screenshot capabilities, benefiting from advanced annotation and editing features that enhance the visual documentation process.

How to take a screenshot in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

by WEBDOGS August 8, 2019

When collaborating with the WEBDOGS team, helping us “see what you see” is a critical component of sharing feedback. We’ve compiled a list of the most straightforward methods of taking screenshots based on browser and operating systems, further separated by application window or full page.

An “Application Window” screenshot is what the browser actually shows when a page is loaded. In other words, it is the view of a website you’d typically interact with.

A “Full Page” screenshot is a view of the entire page, including parts that are outside of the viewport. This is an especially helpful view to have when communicating desired changes to a page or when needing to get a broader context of the page layout. WEBDOGS typically wouldn’t need this view in the execution of support, but likely would when adding in new features or when receiving feedback on implemented features.

Full page screenshots, browser window only.

Ensure that your browser is that “active window” by clicking anywhere in the browser window.
Press Alt + Print Screen (may also say Prnt Scrn , or another variation). This takes a screenshot of the browser and copies it to the clipboard.
Paste the image into a ticket or email by pressing Ctrl + V .

Entire screen

Press Print Screen (may also say Prnt Scrn , or another variation). This takes a screenshot of the entire screen (i.e. everything displayed on the monitor) and copies it to the clipboard.
Press Shift + ⌘ + 4 and a crosshair appears as the pointer.
Press the spacebar and the crosshair will turn into a camera.
Move the pointer to the target window. As you hover over the window, it will turn blue.
Click the window with trackpad / mouse and the screenshot is automatically saved to the desktop.
Drag and drop the image into your email or Zendesk.
Press Shift + ⌘ + 3
A screenshot of the entire screen (i.e. everything displayed on the monitor) is saved to the desktop.

iPhone X and 2018+ iPad Pro

Press the power button and volume up button at the same time.
The image is saved to the camera roll.
Press the home button and power button at the same time.

Most Android devices

Simultaneously hold the power button and volume down button. Some devices require the buttons be held for “a few” seconds.
The screenshot will be saved to Pictures/Screenshots/ (or DCIM/Screenshots/).

If you’re not able to figure out how to take a screenshot with your Android device, please contact WEBDOGS support for additional help.

Install and activate the Full Page Screen Capture browser extension.
A small camera icon will appear in the top right corner of the browser.
Click the camera icon.
Click the “download image” icon and the image will be saved to the Downloads folder.
Two finger click (or right click on a mouse) on the target page.
Select “Take a screenshot”
In the upper right of the browser, select “Save full page”
If you select Download, the image goes to your Downloads folder.
If you select Copy, the image will be copied to the clipboard.
Install and activate Awesome Screenshot
Navigate to the target page in Safari
Click the Awesome Screenshot icon (looks like a tiny camera lens) to the left of the Safari address bar
Click “Capture entire page.” An image opens in a new tab.
Click the “Done” button
Follow the directions to save the file.
Click the “Add notes” icon in the upper right of the browser window. A purple bar appears.
Click the save icon (looks like a floppy disk).
Select “Reading List” and give the image a clear name.
Click the Save button and the box will disappear.
Click the white “X” to the far right in the purple bar and the purple bar goes away.
Click the Favorites icon (star with 3 lines to the right).
Click the “Reading List” icon to the left of the favorites bar. It should be the second icon down. If you’re not sure, hover your mouse cursor over the button and it will display the button name on the screen.
Click the note you just made from the Readng List. The purple bar comes back.
Right click anywhere on the page and select “Save picture as”
Give the screenshot an easily understood name, take note of the save folder name, and then click the “Save” button.
Now you will have an image you can share.

How to Prevent the Windows Key, Alt+Tab, and Sticky Keys From Ruining Your Gaming

Meta is lying to you in new quest vr ad, flash carts are better than emulators for retro gaming and here’s why, quick links, the method matters: screenshot vs. printing, option one: capture a webpage with a standalone screenshot tool, option two: capture a webpage with a browser plugin, option three: capture a webpage with a web-based tool.

A simple screenshot is great for capturing what's immediately visible on your monitor, but what if you need to capture an entire webpage? Here are three simple ways you can capture a long web page as one continuous image and, in the process, preserve it exactly as it appears to the viewer.

Windows 10, macOS, and many browsers allow you to "print" any page to a PDF file. Older versions of Windows also contain the built-in ability to "print" any file to XPS, a PDF-like alternative. Just go to the web page you want, select File > Print, and choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" (if you have it) or "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" (if you don't). In macOS, click the "PDF" button on the Print dialog.

Given this, you might be wondering why capturing a screenshot of a webpage even matters. Wouldn't it be simple enough to just Press Ctrl+P and convert a web page into a PDF or XPS?

While PDF is great for documents, it has an inherent shortcoming when it comes to preserving a webpage. Regardless of the document creator you use, it functions as a virtual printer, which any shortcomings the physical printing process would have (poor column alignment, advertisements overlapping the text, etc.) will appear in the document created by the virtual printer. Further, if the website in question has a specific "print view" to alleviate the aforementioned issues, that means you're not preserving the webpage as it appears, but preserving the webpage as it is formatted for printing.

When you use a screen capture tool, you're not churning the webpage through a document creator. You're capturing---pixel for pixel---exactly what you see on the screen. Not only is that useful for archival purposes, as you're getting an exact 1:1 representation of the webpage, but you're also able to show other people exactly how the page looks as oppose to exactly how the page prints.

With that in mind, let's look at three techniques you can use to capture an entire webpage in a single screenshot: standalone screen capture tools, browser plugins, and a handy web-based service that works wherever you are.

While the vast majority of operating systems have a built in screen capture tool, that tool is typically pretty basic. It might do a fine job capturing parts of your screen, but it won't have the bells and whistles necessary to capture a whole webpage.

Fortunately, there are tons of third party tools that sport "scrolling capture" or "full page" capture, wherein the screenshot tool will scroll through the webpage for you capturing and stitch the screenshots into one continuous image. The screen capture tool I've used for ages, FastStone Capture (Windows, $20, seen above), has this feature; triggered by a toolbar button or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn. Note: You can still download the older, free version of FastStone Capture from The Portable Freeware Collection (although this version lacks newer features, it does have scrolling capture).

Screenpresso (Windows, free) also has a scrolling capture feature, as does popular capture tool SnagIt (Windows/Mac, $50). When looking for a screen capture tool (or searching through the documentation of the tool you already have) search for the keyword "scrolling" to see if it has the necessary feature.

Standalone screen capture tools are great if you regularly use them, but if your work only requires you to capture webpages once in a while, then it makes more sense to use a browser-based tool.

While there are more than a handful of browser extension tools out there, we like Nimbus Screenshot , seen above. It's free, it's available for both Chrome and Firefox , and it has a nice clean interface that gets the job done. One click and it captures and aligns the image for you. Better yet, you can easily save the image to your PC when you're done or upload it to your Google Drive or Slack.

So what if you just need a one-off capture to send to your boss? You don't have to install something to grab it---as long as the webpage in question is publicly accessible (like a How-To Geek article and not some site you have to log in to first), you can easily use the free Screen Capture tool at CtrlQ.org or the similar tool at Web-Capture.net .

While both tools work well enough, Web-Capture has an edge on two fronts: it allows you to specify the image format, and supports capturing via bookmarklet (so you can put a shortcut in your browser's toolbar to access the capture service). If you're new to bookmarklets, check out our handy guide .

That's all there is to it: whether you're using a third party tool, a browser extension, or even a web-based tool, you can easily capture an entire webpage in a single image file to preserve it for posterity, your boss, a court case, or whatever reason you have for desiring a perfect pixel-to-pixel representation of a whole webpage.

How to screenshot on Chrome (including a full page screenshot)

Plus, how to take full page screenshots in safari, edge, and other popular browsers..

Portion of a web page with the developer tools menu open. The menu option "Capture full size screenshot" is highlighted.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you need to take a screenshot of a whole web page (or, at least, more than one small part of it), so a drag-and-snap screenshot is out. You also need to capture info "below the fold" (content that's only visible after you scroll), so that's another no to your usual screenshot method.

So how can you avoid the painful task of scrolling down a page at a time, capturing one window screenshot again and again, and then cobbling it all together at the end?

Instead, try one of Google Chrome's hidden gems: the built-in, full page screenshot tool.

Here's the short version of how to take a full page screenshot on Chrome (keep scrolling for a detailed version with screenshots):

Then, press command + shift + P (on Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + P (on Windows).

In the search bar, immediately after the word Run > , type "screenshot."

If your question is how to take screenshots on websites, read on.

Zight screenshot tool and screen recording app

Zight is a free screenshot tool packed with a lot of features that you won’t find in other free software programs. Some of the other features include screen recording , GIF creation to turn your screen captures into GIFs , webcam recording to capture video from your webcam , and annotation of images and video , such as adding shapes, lines, drawings, and emojis to highlight specific details.

In addition, every screenshot you capture with Zight is automatically stored in your cloud profile, ensuring easy access and management. Using this software you can, quickly and free capture screenshots of any website with high resolution and without watermarks.

Luckily, Zight has different ways you can use to take a screenshot. Let’s look at each way below.

1. Using Zight’s Chrome Extension

This is how you can take the screenshot of any website step-by-step using the Zight Chrome extension.

Step 1: Install the Zight Chrome Extension

Zight Screenshot tool on the Chrome Web Store

For starters, ensure you are using Google Chrome as this extension is specifically designed for it.
Go to the Chrome Web Store and type “Zight” into the search bar. Click on the Zight extension from the search results.
Click on “ Add to Chrome ” next to the Zight extension, then confirm by clicking “ Add extension ” in the pop-up window.

Step 2: Set Up and Configure the Zight Chrome Extension

After installation, you will see the Zight icon in the top-right corner of your browser. Click on it.

Then, you will need to sign in with your Zight account or create one if you don’t already have one.

Notably, the Zight extension might request permission to access your screen. Ensure you grant these permissions for the extension to work properly.

Step 3: Take a Screenshot

Open the web page you want to capture in Chrome by clicking on the Zight icon in the top-right corner.

Choose Your Capture Mode:

Full Page : Captures the entire webpage.
Visible Area : Captures only the part of the webpage currently visible on your screen.
Selected Area : Allows you to select a specific area of the webpage to capture.

Alternatively, you can streamline the process using the Zight keyboard shortcuts for quick web screenshots, such as:

Ctrl + Shift + 1 : To capture a full-page screenshot
Ctrl + Shift + 2 : To capture a visible area.
Ctrl + Shift + 3 : To capture a selected area.

Step 4: Capture your Web Page Screenshot

After choosing your preferred capture mode “Capture Area,” your cursor will change to a crosshair. Move your mouse to control the screenshot tool and highlight the part of your screen you want to capture. Release the mouse button once you’ve selected the desired area, and the web page screenshot will be taken.

Step 4: Edit Your Screenshot

When you capture a full-page screenshot and maybe you change your mind about the entire page, Zight provides basic editing tools, allowing you to crop, annotate, or highlight parts of your screenshot .

So, after capturing your screenshots, two things will immediately happen:

Your screenshot is saved to your clipboard as a shareable link
The screenshot link automatically opens in Chrome in a Zight editor window, where you can annotate and edit it before sharing .

At this point, you can add your annotations, such as arrows, text boxes, shapes, or highlights, with the screenshot annotation tool to emphasize specific details. Zight also allows basic image editing features.

2. Using the Zight Windows App

Most native Windows screenshot tools offer limited capabilities, particularly for editing and annotating screen captures. This is just one of the reasons to avoid using native screenshot tools . Then let’s get into the step-by-step guide to using the Zight app.

Step 1 : To use the Zight app to capture screenshots you have to first download the Zight Windows version.

Step 2 : Open Zight and choose the “Screenshot” option. Alternatively, you can capture a screenshot by pressing Alt + Shift + 5.

Next, use any of these shortcuts:

Select an area with your mouse, or
Press S to capture the visible area,
E to capture the entire page
D to choose which parts of your desktop to capture.

For the Zight Windows app, you can capture a Chrome tab, a window, or the entire screen.

Step 3 : Once completed, your website screenshot will be captured with the Zight software. Copy the automatically generated screenshot link to your clipboard, and open it in your default browser, where you can annotate and edit the screenshot.

3. Using the Zight Mac App

Step 1 : Download and install the Mac version on the official Zight website

Step 2 : Open your Zight app and click Capture. Alternatively to easily capture a high-quality screenshot using a keyboard shortcut, press Command + Shift + 4 to capture a specific area or Command + Shift + 5 for more options.

Step 3 : Select the region of your screen you want to capture. There are several ways to capture your screenshot on a Mac and they include:

a). Capture the Entire Screen – Command (⌘) + Shift + 3

b). Capture a Selected Portion of the Screen – Command (⌘) + Shift + 4

c). Capture a Specific Window – Command (⌘) + Shift + 4 , then Spacebar

d). Capture the Touch Bar (if your Mac has one)- Command (⌘) + Shift + 6

After editing and finalizing your web page screenshots, there are different ways to save your screenshots. Zight facilitates various sharing options such as:

Saving your screenshot locally to your laptop
Upload it directly to the cloud for easy access across devices.
Sharing the screenshot with others via a generated shareable link .

Alternatively, Zight allows you to share it directly to various platforms like Gmail, Google Drive, or social media by clicking the “ Share ” button.

In addition, before you save screenshots, you can protect them before sharing them. Zight allows you to customize your share settings. Locate the “ Share Your Image ” section, where the default setting might be “ Anyone with the link can view .” If your screenshot contains sensitive information, you may want to change this.

Additionally, before sharing, you can enable reactions and comments on the image to foster a collaborative environment.

For instance, you can use Zight to send the screenshot directly to Slack . Additionally, you can easily share your captures in various online collaboration tools , such as Google Docs , JIRA, Trello , Zendesk, and more! This flexibility allows you to use screenshots for multiple purposes, including sharing on social media , incorporating them in presentations , or embedding them in documents .

Taking screenshots of any website is straightforward with Zight, whether you use the Chrome extension or the desktop applications for Mac and Windows. From the built-in keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac to the step-by-step guides above, you can easily capture any content displayed on your webpage.

The Best Web Browsers of 2024

We tested the most popular web browsers to see which is the fastest and best.

Works natively with Google services
Syncs across multiple devices
Outperforms the competition in speed

Blocks cryptominers
Prevents fingerprinting
Stores passwords locally

Protects against phishing
Syncs data between devices

Our pick: Which web browser is best?

Google Chrome is our pick for the most well-rounded web browser you can get. It’s fast and synchronizes across every device you use. You can perform a search within the address bar, group your browser tabs, and more. Want to go dark? Chrome supports themes, too.

We spent many hours comparing the best web browsers in terms of speed using a handful of tests on Windows and Mac. We provide the results in our Methodology section to show which is the fastest web browser on your favorite desktop platform.

What should you look for in a web browser.

The best web browser should be fast and clean to give you the best browsing experience. You don’t want excessive bloat that can bog down your device and cause web pages to load at a dial-up pace.

And while speed is great, security should also be a high priority. Internet browsers should protect users from trackers, hackers, and pesky internet eavesdroppers.

Ultimately, a browser should be your interactive window looking out into the World Wide Web—a picture frame that should never distract you from the view at hand.

Get the best router to complement your fast browser

We tested and reviewed more routers than we can count to determine the best of the best you can get. Go with the TP-Link Archer AX11000 if you want a lot of bang for your buck, or choose the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 if you want lots of features at a higher price. The NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 is the fastest router we’ve tested to date, but it ain’t cheap.

Data this browser collects from you

And more (see App Privacy )

Chrome is the fastest and best web browser on Microsoft Windows and an excellent alternative to Safari on a Mac in terms of speed. However, you agree to Google’s excessive data collection in exchange for speed and convenience.

More about Google Chrome

Google Chrome is the fastest web browser available for Windows machines. It surpasses the competition in three out of four tests and outranks Microsoft Edge in all but one test.

On Apple Mac, Chrome is a heavy hitter in performance, outranking Safari in two out of four tests . It’s a good alternative to Safari, but Chrome’s data collection issues are a little disconcerting. If you’re worried about how Google uses your data, Safari or Microsoft Edge may be your better alternative.

Still, despite privacy concerns, Chrome is a great browser overall if you use Google’s services. It’s probably the ideal default browser if you shift between Windows, Android, and Apple devices.

Supports a huge extensions library
Syncs across devices
Collects lots of data

Best for security—Mozilla Firefox

Ranks the lowest for speed in tests
Desktop: Windows, Mac, Linux

If you want the best internet browser that prioritizes security over data collection, Firefox is your best bet. However, it’s not the fastest browser available.

More about Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Firefox received a facelift in 2021. Mozilla redesigned the tabs, prompts, menus, and overall look, giving Firefox a new modern interface. Under the hood, Firefox strives to keep you safe online with tools like DNS-over-HTTPS , which encrypts browser requests versus sending the information in plaintext.

Protects against spyware
Blocks almost all pop-ups
Consumes high memory
Falls behind other browsers in speed

Best for customization—Vivaldi

Mobile: Android

Vivaldi is great for customizing your browsing experience, but it doesn’t match the speed of Chrome or Safari.

More about Vivaldi

Vivaldi breathes new life into the tired, repetitive web browser design. Here, you can customize the start page, create and use a custom theme, customize and move the menu, customize the toolbar, and so on. You can also assign browser commands to keyboard shortcuts, map commands to gestures, and assign quick commands to the Function keys.

In terms of speed, the Vivaldi browser isn’t the fastest on the planet—at least, not yet. It’s the youngest in the batch, so there’s room for improvement. It ranks fourth in all four tests we run on Windows, while its performance jumps between third and last in the same tests on Mac.

That said, Vivaldi is an excellent middle-ground browser in terms of performance.

Offers plenty of customization
Syncs data across devices
Lacks iPhone, iPad versions

Best for social media—Opera

Includes a built-in VPN client
Includes social tools
Verifies all websites
Diagnostics

Opera is a good web browser if you want a built-in VPN client and social tools. It provides middle-ground performance in terms of speed.

The Opera browser is great if you want built-in social network tools. The sidebar includes shortcuts to Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and three others you can pin to the browser window.

Opera also supports two VPN services: Free VPN and VPN Pro . The “pro” version costs $7.99 per month and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Our FAQ explains the differences between the two services.

As for performance, Opera is the third-fastest browser in our tests for Windows , falling behind Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It has a similar performance level on our MacBook, falling behind Safari, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge in our four tests. Opera has a “battery saver” mode that reduces background activity and pauses animations, but we verified it was disabled before running our tests.

Includes built-in social tools
Loads some websites incorrectly
Updates less frequently than Chrome

Best for Mac—Apple Safari

Provides a clean privacy report
Supports extensions
Displays tab previews
Competes with Chrome in speed on Mac
Desktop: Mac
Mobile: iPhone, iPad
Nitro, WebKit

Safari is the best browser for Macs, hands down. Stick with Safari if you also have an iPhone or iPad. However, if you use other platforms like Windows and Android, Chrome is the better multiplatform solution—if you can ignore Chrome’s data collection woes.

More about Apple Safari

Safari is an excellent example of how Apple optimizes its software for Macs. It’s fast, simply designed, and somewhat customizable. It supports Chrome extensions, tab previews for power users, and easy translations using the menu bar. And while we will always recommend Firefox as the best browser for security , Safari’s privacy report panel lists every website that tracks you across the internet.

The drawback with Safari is that you can’t get it on anything but Apple devices. That means we could measure its performance only on our MacBook, so there are no numbers for Windows-based PCs. That said, Safari and Chrome duke it out for the fastest browser, both taking the top spots in two out of four tests. If you want speed, either browser will do.

Runs superfast on Macs
Uses low memory
Isn’t available outside Apple’s ecosystem
Has a limited extensions library

Best for Windows—Microsoft Edge

Stacks tabs vertically
Groups websites into Collections
Supports Dolby Audio and 4K
Competes with Chrome in speed on Windows
Desktop: Windows, Mac
Browsing history

Bottom line

Microsoft Edge is a great native browser for Microsoft Windows and a good alternative to Safari on a Mac if you need a browser that runs outside Apple’s ecosystem.

More about Microsft Edge

The original Edge browser was a clunky mess despite Microsoft’s good intentions. It used the company’s in-house EdgeHTML engine and really couldn’t compete with Chrome. Microsoft scrapped its proprietary engine in early 2020 and chose Chromium instead, the browser foundation used in Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, and more.

Now, Microsoft Edge is highly competitive in terms of speed. On Windows, it gives Chrome a run for its money, falling just a hair behind Google’s browser in three of four of our tests . On our MacBook, Chrome and Microsoft Edge are nearly identical in performance, both falling behind Safari.

Which web browsers are the fastest?

To determine the fastest browser on our list, we ran four different tests three times per browser, determined the average, and compared the results.

On Windows, Chrome tested as the fastest browser, followed by Microsoft Edge .

On Mac, Safari and Chrome shared the top spot as the fastest browser, followed by Microsoft Edge .

In all tests, Firefox was the slowest browser on our list.

See the complete test results in the Methodology section .

Browser specs and features

A web browser is software that downloads data from a remote server and pieces it all together on your screen. It’s your interactive window to the World Wide Web, a view that exists only when you open a tab and enter an address. All browsers provide this basic function, but there are five elements you should keep in mind while considering your browser options.

You want a browser that loads pages quickly and can run in-browser apps without slowing you down. A browser should have a relatively small footprint in your system memory, so it doesn’t affect the performance of your other programs and apps while you surf the internet.

Security and privacy

A browser should make secure connections to websites. They should also provide means to block malicious advertisements, cross-site trackers, cryptominers, and fingerprinters. Users should have tools to block and delete cookies, secure their passwords, and use the browser without worrying about how it collects their data.

Learn more about the best internet browsers for security .

Customization

While you don’t want your window to the internet framed with a clunky interface, it’s a nice bonus to add a personal touch. Most of the browsers on our list provide means for customization.

For example, you can apply a theme in Chrome obtained from the Chrome Web Store . You can create themes in Vivaldi, reposition the menu, or create your own menu.

Compatibility

The best browser should be compatible with the latest internet standards, like HTML5 and WebGL . A good way to benchmark a browser’s compatibility is to use the HTML5 Test website or AnTuTu’s HTML5 Test online utility. Plus, you don’t want to install a browser that can’t access all the modern functions of a website, like web apps.

Easy navigation

While customization is great, you want a browser that’s easy to use. Most browsers we list here are just that, with the address bar headlining your window to the internet. Menus should be tucked away and easily accessible. Settings should be just a click away, and bookmarks should be easy to save and load.

Our verdict: Google Chrome is the best web browser

Google Chrome is fast and available on nearly every platform. It’s our top pick in speed, as it goes head-to-head with Safari on our MacBook and Microsoft Edge on Windows. It’s also a firm alternative if you don’t want to use those native browsers.

But Microsoft Edge is an excellent third-place browser that’s accessible on nearly all platforms. It’s almost as fast as Chrome and Safari and includes a few standout features you can’t get with most browsers, like 4K Netflix streaming.

However, if you want the most secure browser on the planet, Firefox is the way to go, although it’s the slowest browser on our list.

Microsoft Windows

We use a Lenovo ThinkPad with Intel’s Core i7-10850H 6-core processor, 16GB of system memory, and a 500GB SSD for these tests.

Chrome is our biggest performer, taking the top spot in three out of four tests. Microsoft Edge always comes in at a close second, save for one test where it switches seats with Chrome. Firefox is our lowest performer of the browser batch.

JetStream 2

This test measures how fast a browser loads data and how quickly it executes code—higher numbers are better.

Speedometer

This test measures the responsiveness of web applications by simulating user input.

Basemark Web 3.0

This tool performs 20 tests—map scaling, drawing, and so on—in one sitting. It’s also popular for testing a laptop’s battery life, as it loops through all tests until the battery dies.

MotionMark 1.2

This test benchmarks the browser’s capability to render and animate complex scenes within a set frame rate.

Apple macOS

We use a 2018 MacBook Air (A1392) with Intel’s Core i5-8210Y 2-core CPU, 8GB of system memory, and a 128GB SSD for these tests. There’s a huge processor difference between this machine and the Lenovo notebook, so we rerun the benchmarks to compare Safari against the competition on the same Core i5 CPU.

Overall, Safari and Chrome go head to head for the fastest browser. Safari grabs the top spot in two tests, while Chrome dominates in the other two. Microsoft Edge is the best alternative to Safari and Chrome, while Firefox has the lowest performance of the six.

FAQ about the best web browsers

Internet browser vs. web browser: what's the difference.

Although we tend to use the term, there’s no such thing as an “internet browser.” The internet is a global network of cables, servers, and switches—it’s the hardware needed to deliver information to your eyeballs. A browser is software that accesses software—the World Wide Web in this case.

In other words, we connect to the internet and use the web. But since “internet” is easier to read and write than “World Wide Web,” we typically stick with the former term.

What is a virtual private network (VPN)?

A virtual private network creates a secure, private connection between your device and the destination. It requires software installed on your device that encrypts your data and establishes a direct, encrypted connection to a remote VPN server. The server then decrypts your data and sends it as plaintext to the destination.

Overall, a VPN prevents the destination from seeing your geological location, IP address, and operating system.

Want to see how a VPN affects your speed?

Run our internet speed test with a VPN enabled. After that, rerun the test with the VPN disabled and then compare the results.

Run a Speed Test

What is a Device ID?

A Device Identifier (ID) is a unique string of numbers derived from other hardware-identifying numbers stored on your device. Browsers use this information to identify your device.

What is a User ID?

A User Identifier (User ID) is a unique profile created by the browser and stored locally as a cookie. This profile includes information such as your processor, storage, screen resolution, and operating system.

What is Chromium?

Chromium is Google’s free, open-source code provided to all internet browser developers. These developers can compile Google’s code with proprietary components and unique designs (Microsoft Edge) or compile the code “as is” (Chromium).

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is the fifth generation of HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the programming language that creates websites you see in your browser. There are three components in HTML5: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) that dictate how web page elements are displayed, JavaScript that executes interactive components, and HTML code that brings it all together.

HTML5 eliminates the need for browser plugins, like Adobe Flash, Silverlight, and Java.

What is WebGL?

Web Graphics Library (or WebGL ) is an application programming interface (API) that allows a browser to render 2D and 3D graphics. These elements are written in JavaScript and OpenGL ES for the web and are executed on your device’s graphics cores, not your processor. WebGL eliminates the need for a browser plugin, eliminating security risks and providing better animation.

To see WebGL in action, visit the Get WebGL website to view a cube rotating in your browser without any additional software.

What is HTTPS?

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (or HTTPS) is a secure version of the application layer protocol used to deliver HTML files, video, and more across the internet.

In a nutshell, the browser (client) sends a request to the server hosting a website. In turn, the server sends the appropriate files to your device that are pieced together within your browser. These files reside on your device as cache.

Browsers and servers that support HTTPS communicate using the Transport Layer Security cryptographic protocol to encrypt the connection between the website and the browser, not the actual data. This encrypted connection prevents eavesdroppers from obtaining your data but only while it’s en route.

What is DNS-over-HTTPS?

DNS-over-HTTPS is a means of sending a browser query over a secure connection.

Short for Domain Name System, DNS essentially translates alphabetic URLs into proper numeric ones. For instance, when you type “google.com” into your address bar, a DNS service consults its address book and sees that the numerical address is 172.217.2.110. It then sends your browser request accordingly.

Typically this request speeds along the internet highways as plaintext. A secure connection doesn’t happen until the website responds to your browser—a handshake, if you will. With DNS-over-HTTPS, a compatible browser sends your query to a compatible DNS server using an encrypted connection. This connection prevents eavesdroppers from viewing your browsing habits.

Free VPN vs. VPN Pro: What’s the difference?

Opera Software launched VPN Pro in May 2022. In a nutshell, with VPN Pro , you get full device-wide coverage on six devices, a network with 3,000+ servers, 30+ unique locations, two-factor authentication, and live chat support. Here’s a chart showing what you get with both services:

Does Incognito Mode hide you from Google and other services?

No, Chrome’s Incognito Mode feature doesn’t completely protect you. It’s only meant to hide your activities from other people using the same device and browser. Google even confirmed in a court filing in March 2021 that users are not “invisible” when they open an Incognito Mode window. The company said user activity might be visible to websites and third-party analytics and ads.

What happened to Safari for Windows?

Safari 5.1.7 was the last version released on Windows. While you can find links to download the browser, Apple discontinued Windows support in 2012. We do not recommend this browser for Windows users due to the lack of updates and customer support.

What happened to Internet Explorer?

Microsoft retired Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, but it still lives on in Microsoft Edge as IE Mode. To enable it for legacy websites, click the Settings and more button in the top right corner of Microsoft Edge, followed by Settings > Default browser > Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode . Select Allow on the drop-down menu to enable IE Mode.
