Chrome DevTools includes a “Capture full size screenshot” command, and it’s great for quick one-offs.

But if you’re doing this regularly—or your pages are long and dynamic—Lliben usually wins on reliability and workflow.

TL;DR

  • Use DevTools for quick captures on simple pages.
  • Use a screenshot extension for repeatable workflows (edit/export/PDF).

Chrome DevTools: the built-in option

Best for:

  • Quick captures on simple pages
  • When you don’t want to install anything

How to use it:

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

Limitations you’ll hit:

  • No post-capture editor workflow (crop/annotate/steps)
  • More fragile on dynamic pages (lazy load, infinite scroll)
  • Still bound by browser pixel limits on very long pages

Lliben: built for capture + export workflows

Best for:

  • Full-page and scrolling screenshots you can trust
  • Capturing menus/hover states (delay workflow)
  • Exporting as PDF (A4/Letter/Custom), PNG, or JPG
  • Adding quick annotations and numbered steps in Lliben Capture

Which should you use?

  • Use DevTools if you need a quick screenshot on a simple page.
  • Use Lliben if you want a repeatable workflow, better exports, and a cleaner “capture → edit → share” flow.
