Infinite scroll pages (feeds, timelines, long docs) are one of the hardest targets for a “full page screenshot”.

They can load content while scrolling, reflow layout, or recycle DOM elements.

TL;DR

  • Pre-load as much content as possible before capturing.
  • Increase Scroll Delay for dynamic pages.
  • For extremely long feeds on 4K/5K, make the browser window narrower.
  • Consider exporting PDF if you want a document-style result.

Step-by-step: a reliable workflow

  1. Scroll slowly to load the sections you need.
  2. Pause and wait for images to finish loading.
  3. Start a Full Page capture.
  4. If you see missing images, retry with higher Scroll Delay.

Tip: If the page “jumps” while loading, stop scrolling and let it settle before you capture.

Why infinite scroll breaks captures

Many sites:

  • Lazy-load images after scroll
  • Load new sections asynchronously
  • Re-render parts of the feed while you scroll (virtualization)

This can cause missing sections or repeated blocks in stitched screenshots.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing images: increase Scroll Delay and retry.
  • Very long feeds fail: narrow the browser window and retry (reduces total pixels).
  • Need only a section: use Selected Area for the exact region.
