Full page screenshot on Mac

macOS screenshot shortcuts capture what is on screen, not what is below the fold. To capture an entire webpage on a Mac you need the browser to scroll and stitch for you: install GoFullScreenshot in Chrome, press Option+Shift+S, and the complete page opens in a new tab at full resolution.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Install the extension in Chrome

    Add GoFullScreenshot from the Chrome Web Store. It also works in Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers on macOS.

  2. 2

    Open the page and press the shortcut

    Press Option+Shift+S on macOS, or click the toolbar icon. Nothing else to configure.

  3. 3

    Wait for the scroll to finish

    The page scrolls itself while each section is captured and stitched at full resolution.

  4. 4

    Copy, annotate or export

    Copy to the clipboard for Slack or Keynote, annotate in the built-in editor, or save as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF.

Why the macOS shortcuts are not enough

Cmd+Shift+3 captures the display and Cmd+Shift+4 captures a region you drag. Both work at screen level, so a 12,000 pixel article still comes out as one screenful. Preview and Screenshot.app cannot scroll a webpage either. The scroll and stitch step has to happen inside the browser, which is exactly what a full page screenshot extension does.

Frequently asked questions

Does Cmd+Shift+4 take a full page screenshot?
No. Cmd+Shift+3 and Cmd+Shift+4 capture the screen or a selected region, so you only get the part of the page that is visible. Capturing the entire scrolling page needs a browser-side tool that scrolls and stitches.
What is the shortcut on macOS?
GoFullScreenshot maps to Option+Shift+S on macOS (shown as Alt+Shift+S on Windows). You can change it on chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Does it work in Safari?
No. It is a Chromium extension, so it runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and similar browsers on macOS.
Does the screenshot keep Retina resolution?
Yes. The capture uses the page's own device pixel ratio, so text stays sharp on Retina displays.
Is anything uploaded to a server?
No. Capture, stitching, editing and export all run locally in your browser. GoFullScreenshot has no backend and no analytics.

On Windows instead? Read the Windows guide or the general Chrome guide.
