How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot Without an Extension
If you feel you already have too many installed extensions, you can take a screenshot using Chrome’s Developer Tools. Before trying this method, keep in mind it works better for websites with text-based content rather than web apps.
Follow these steps to take a full-page screenshot:

Open Chrome’s menu.
Head to More tools > Developer tools.
Click the three-dot icon from the top-right corner and select Run command. Also, you can press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows or Command+Shift+P on Mac.
Type screenshot into the search box.
Select Capture full-size screenshot.
Once Chrome takes the screenshot, it should save it into your Downloads folder.
The Chrome Shortcut for Taking a Full-Page Screenshot
Google Chrome includes a built-in screenshot tool, but it's a bit hidden. You'll first enter two sets of keyboard shortcuts, then enter a command to capture a full-page screenshot of any web page. Start by using the shortcut pairs below—enter the first shortcut, followed by the second—depending on your operating system: On Mac 1. Alt + Command + I 2. Command + Shift + P On Windows/Linux/Chrome OS 1. Ctrl + Shift + I 2. Ctrl + Shift + P These keyboard shortcuts will open Chrome's developer menu. Just type "screenshot" and you'll see the option appear to "capture full size screenshot." Simply select this and Chrome will automatically save a full-page screenshot to your Downloads folder! |
How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot with a Custom Size
The keyboard shortcut method is a great way to quickly get the screenshot you need, but if you want to customize the width of your screenshot, you'll have to take a few more steps to get it.
Step 1: Open Developer Tools

First, you’ll need to open Developer Tools in Chrome—the first step from before. You can do this by opening the "More Options" menu on your Chrome toolbar, or by using the shortcut Alt + Command + I on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + C on Windows as before.
This will open a whole world of developer tools, including the surprisingly useful Inspect Element tool. But you’re looking for the Device Toolbar—one small icon in the top-center of the Developer Tools that looks like a phone on top of a tablet (or, two rectangles). Click on this to open a responsive version of the web page.
Step 2: Choose Your Size

In the Device Toolbar, you'll see three options for your view: a dropdown menu (currently set to Responsive), the dimensions of the view, and the zoom level. Adjust these to customize your screenshot.
Step 3: Capture the Screenshot!

To download your full-page screenshot, just open the extra menu options in your Device Toolbar (see screenshot), and select "Capture full size screenshot."
Chrome will automatically download the full page. From here, crop as needed to get the image you need.
