The quickest way to capture an entire webpage in Microsoft Edge is built in: press Ctrl+Shift+S, choose Capture full page, review the result, and copy or save it. You do not need an extension for a one-off capture.

If you specifically need an extension that exports a long page as an image or PDF, install GoFullPage – Full Page Screen Capture from Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Its toolbar command (or Alt+Shift+P) captures the page in segments, opens the finished capture in a new tab, and provides image and PDF downloads.

Use Edge’s built-in full-page capture first

Microsoft Edge’s Screenshot tool is the shortest path for most pages. It captures content below the visible viewport without requiring you to scroll manually, and it includes markup tools before you copy or save the result.

  1. Open the webpage you want to save in Edge.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+S.
  3. In the Screenshot command bar, select Capture full page.
  4. Wait while Edge collects the content below the current viewport.
  5. Use the pen or touch markup controls if you need to draw, highlight, or annotate.
  6. Choose the command to copy the result or save it to your computer.

This method is best when you want a quick, annotated copy and do not want to grant an add-on access to pages.

Capture a full page with a Microsoft Edge extension

Install GoFullPage

  1. Open Microsoft Edge Add-ons and search for GoFullPage – Full Page Screen Capture.
  2. Open the listing, review its publisher information and permissions, and select the install button.
  3. After installation, open Edge’s Extensions menu and pin GoFullPage so its icon remains visible on the toolbar.

Run the capture

  1. Navigate to the page you want to capture and let its visible content finish loading.
  2. Select the pinned GoFullPage icon, or press Alt+Shift+P.
  3. Leave the page open while the extension scrolls through it and captures the page in segments.
  4. When processing finishes, Edge opens the assembled result in a new tab.
  5. Use the export controls in that tab to download an image or a PDF.

Segmented capture is important for long documents: if the complete page is too large for Edge to keep as one image, GoFullPage can split the result into separate images instead of silently discarding the bottom of the page.

Edge Screenshot or GoFullPage?

Requirement Edge Screenshot GoFullPage extension
Installation None; included in Edge Install from Microsoft Edge Add-ons
Keyboard command Ctrl+Shift+S, then Capture full page Alt+Shift+P after installation
Output Copy or save the captured result Download an image or PDF
Annotation Documented pen and touch markup before saving The documented workflow focuses on capture and export in a new tab
Very large pages Use the built-in result and check that the complete page is present Can split an exceptionally large capture into multiple images

Choose the built-in tool for a fast, no-install capture or when markup is part of your workflow. Choose GoFullPage when a dedicated extension action, PDF export, or large-page splitting is more important.

Which capture approach fits your job?

  1. ScreenshotNeo for automated or repeatable capture. It is the first choice when code, an API, webhooks, or an AI agent must capture pages without a browser session. It removes consent banners, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before the shot, and only clean captures are billed.
  2. Edge Screenshot for a one-off manual capture. It is already in the browser and supports documented markup.
  3. GoFullPage for manual exports from an extension. It adds image/PDF downloads and a documented split behavior for exceptionally large pages.

Other Edge Add-ons listings, including Full Page Screen Capture Plus and Full Page Screenshot, may provide similar functions. Check each listing’s current permissions, update status, and export behavior before installing; those details can change independently of Edge.

Prepare the page before capturing

Wait for content that appears after scrolling

Many pages reveal images or sections only as you scroll. Give the page time to load before starting, and inspect the finished capture from top to bottom. If a section is still missing, reload the page, wait longer, and run the capture again.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Check overlays and fixed elements

A cookie dialog, newsletter form, or chat widget can cover part of a page. Dismiss the overlay when possible before using either method. If you need a clean, unattended result, use a capture service that can remove those elements before rendering.

Capture the correct state

Sign in first if the page requires an account, select the intended tab or filter, and confirm that the address bar shows the exact URL. A full-page tool captures the state that is currently available in the tab; it does not infer another account, filter, or date range.

Troubleshoot incomplete or unusable captures

The shortcut does nothing

  • Click the webpage first so Edge has focus, then press Ctrl+Shift+S again.
  • If another application or browser feature uses the same shortcut, open the Screenshot command from Edge’s browser controls and choose Capture full page there.
  • For GoFullPage, verify that the extension is installed, enabled, and pinned, then use its toolbar icon or Alt+Shift+P.

The bottom of the page is missing

  • Check whether the page loads content only after scrolling; wait for images and sections to appear, then repeat the capture.
  • For an extremely long page, expect GoFullPage to produce multiple images rather than one oversized file.
  • If the native result still ends early, capture logical sections separately or use an automated renderer with explicit wait and full-page controls.

The image contains a cookie banner, popup, or chat box

Close the element before starting and confirm that it stays closed while the page is being captured. For unattended jobs, browser extensions are not always the right layer because the overlay may return or require an interaction that cannot be repeated reliably.

The PDF or image looks different from the tab

  • Confirm that the page finished loading before you started.
  • Capture after selecting the required theme, language, account, or filter.
  • Reload once if the page contains partially rendered components, then wait for them to settle before trying again.

The extension asks for more access than expected

Read the current Edge Add-ons permissions and publisher details before accepting. If the requested access is not appropriate for your use, use Edge’s built-in Screenshot feature instead or choose another listing after checking its permissions and update status.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server for developers. One GET request returns a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. Before capture it accepts the cookie or consent banner like a visitor and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets; each cleanup step can be turned off. Bot checks and CAPTCHAs, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, and response headers report the page verdict and whether the request was billed.

See the ScreenshotNeo documentation for the complete parameter reference. This cURL example captures a page as WebP:

Options for production captures

ScreenshotNeo supports full-page capture with lazy images loaded, a single element selected by CSS selector, dark mode, 12 device presets or any viewport, retina scale, PDF paper size, margins, landscape mode and page ranges, HTML/CSS-to-image rendering, custom CSS and JavaScript, a click before capture, hidden selectors, waits for a selector, delay or network idle, blocking for ads, trackers, requests or resource types, custom headers, cookies, user agent and Authorization, timezone and geolocation, transparent backgrounds, image resizing, a chosen cache TTL, signed links for public <img> tags, asynchronous jobs with signed webhooks, bulk capture of up to 100 URLs per call, a usage API, and an OpenAPI specification. Parameter names used by other screenshot APIs also work, which can simplify migration.

Plans and billing

The Free plan includes 1,000 shots per month with no card. Paid plans are Starter at $5 for 3,000 shots, Growth at $15 for 15,000, Pro at $39 for 60,000, Scale at $99 for 250,000, and Business at $249 for 1,000,000. Yearly billing gives two months free, and every feature is available on every plan. Because failed loads and other non-clean outcomes are not billed, inspect the X-Page-Verdict and X-Billed headers when you monitor a job.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

The MCP server exposes take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients, so an AI agent can request captures without you driving Edge.

Create a free ScreenshotNeo account to get 1,000 screenshots a month with no card.

Practical checklist

  • Use Ctrl+Shift+S → Capture full page when you need a quick manual result.
  • Install GoFullPage and use Alt+Shift+P when you need an extension with image/PDF export.
  • Dismiss overlays and wait for lazy content before judging the result.
  • Inspect very long captures for missing sections or split image output.
  • For scheduled, bulk, AI-driven, or unattended work, use an API with explicit waits, cleanup controls, and billing headers.
