Export
Screenshot a webpage to PDF
Capture the whole page as an image, then export that image as a PDF. The result looks exactly like the page did on screen, including backgrounds, web fonts and anything a print stylesheet would normally strip out. Everything is generated locally in Chrome by GoFullScreenshot.
Step by step
- 1
Capture the full page
Press Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on macOS) so GoFullScreenshot scrolls and stitches the entire page.
- 2
Annotate if needed
Highlight, add arrows or text, or crop the part you want to keep before exporting.
- 3
Export as PDF
Choose PDF export. The stitched image becomes a PDF with a timestamped filename, generated in the browser.
- 4
Share the file
The PDF lands in your downloads folder, ready to attach or archive. Nothing was uploaded to create it.
When to use which method

| An annotated version for feedback | Screenshot, annotate, then export as PDF |
| An archive of a dashboard or long report | Full page screenshot, exported as PDF |
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from Print to PDF?
- Print to PDF re-renders the page with the print stylesheet, which often drops backgrounds, breaks layouts across pages and hides interactive content. A screenshot-based PDF preserves the page exactly as you saw it on screen.
- Can I export only part of the page?
- Yes. Crop the capture in the built-in editor first, then export. Cropping happens before the PDF is generated.
- Is the text in the PDF selectable?
- No. The PDF contains the captured image of the page, so the visual fidelity is exact but the text is not selectable. Use Print to PDF when you need selectable text.
- Does the PDF export work offline?
- Yes, once the page itself is loaded. GoFullScreenshot generates the PDF locally in your browser, with no server involved.
- Which other formats can I export?
- PNG, JPEG and WebP, with adjustable quality for the lossy formats, plus copy to clipboard.
