Capturing a full page screenshot in Chrome is easy on simple pages—and frustrating on long, dynamic, or “infinite scroll” sites.

This guide shows a reliable workflow, plus the most common fixes when a capture looks broken.

TL;DR

• For most pages: use a scrolling screenshot (Full Page).
• If images are missing: increase Scroll Delay.
• If the page is extremely long (4K/5K): make the browser window narrower and try again.

Option 1: Use Lliben (recommended)

Lliben is built for full-page and scrolling screenshots and exports locally (no cloud upload).

1. Install Lliben from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Pin the extension (optional, but faster).
3. Open the page you want to capture.
4. Open the Lliben popup and choose Full Page.
5. When it finishes, your capture opens in Lliben Capture where you can:

- Crop, annotate (text, highlight, shapes, emoji), and add Steps

- Export to PNG/JPG/PDF (A4/Letter/Custom) or print

If you’re new, start with the Quick Start: Lliben Quick Start.

Option 2: Chrome DevTools (works, but limited)

Chrome also has a built-in way via DevTools. It’s handy, but it won’t always behave well on complex sites.

• Open DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I).
• Open the Command Menu (Cmd+Shift+P).
• Search for screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot.

Troubleshooting: when full-page capture looks broken

If images are missing, sections repeat, or the page renders differently while scrolling, try these:

• Wait for the page to fully load before capturing.
• Close or pause heavy animations (video, live charts).
• If the site loads content while scrolling, increase the capture Scroll Delay in Lliben settings.
• For extremely long pages on 4K/5K screens, make your browser window narrower and try again. This reduces total pixels and avoids browser image limits.

Tip: For “infinite scroll” pages, scroll slowly to load content first. Then run Full Page capture with a slightly higher Scroll Delay.

Quick checklist for clean exports

• Use PNG for crisp text and UI.
• Use JPG if you need smaller file size.
• Use PDF if you want a print-friendly result (multi-page pagination on long captures).
