Scrolling Screenshot Chrome Extension

Capture a long webpage.
Not just the screen you can see.

Take a scrolling screenshot in Chrome from the top of a webpage to the bottom. Capture automatically moves through long pages, stitches the unseen sections into one continuous image, then opens it for annotation, privacy masking, cropping and export.

How it works

One capture instead of a stack of screenshots.

A normal screenshot stops at the bottom edge of the current viewport. A scrolling screenshot continues through the webpage and records the parts that were initially off-screen.

1

Open the webpage

Navigate to the article, dashboard, landing page, product page or other long webpage you need to capture.

2

Choose Full Page

Capture remembers your preferred mode, so you do not need to select scrolling capture every time.

3

Capture scrolls automatically

The extension moves through the page and captures the new content that comes into view instead of asking you to scroll and take screenshots manually.

4

The page is stitched into one long image

Captured regions are combined using the actual scroll positions, with logic designed to reduce repeated sticky headers and overlapping viewport content.

5

Annotate, crop, protect and export

The completed screenshot opens in the editor for arrows, text, callouts, long-page cropping, blur, pixelate, copy, image download or professional report export.

Long-page capture

Designed for webpages that keep going.

Scrolling capture becomes difficult when a page contains fixed interface elements, delayed content or thousands of vertical pixels. Capture's full-page workflow is built around those cases.

New-region stitching

Later viewport captures contribute the newly revealed region instead of repainting the full viewport over earlier content.

Sticky element handling

The workflow is designed to reduce repeated headers, navigation, logos and fixed sidebars that can otherwise appear several times in a long screenshot.

Freeze animations

Transitions and CSS animations can be temporarily reduced during capture to help stabilize carousels, counters and moving page elements.

High-DPI aware

Capture logic accounts for screenshot dimensions, browser zoom and device pixel ratio where practical so the crop and stitching coordinates stay accurate.

Why scrolling screenshots?

See the complete webpage without losing the context between sections.

A sequence of separate screenshots makes reviewers reconstruct the page mentally. One long screenshot keeps the navigation, content order, CTA placement and overall page flow visible in one artifact.

QA

QA and bug reports

Show the full state of a broken page, including what appears above and below the issue, then mark the exact problem.

UX

Website and UX reviews

Review spacing, hierarchy, repetition, section order and conversion flow across the whole webpage.

DOC

Documentation

Preserve long help articles, admin screens, dashboards, reports and reference pages as one visual record.

SEO

Landing-page audits

Evaluate hero content, proof, feature sections, FAQs and final calls to action without jumping between multiple image files.

DEV

Development handoff

Send one annotated long screenshot with numbered callouts instead of a message thread containing several disconnected images.

ARC

Page archiving

Keep a visual snapshot of a webpage before a redesign, content change or release for later reference and comparison.

Your long screenshot can stay on your computer.

Normal scrolling capture, stitching, annotation, blur, pixelate and local image/PDF generation are designed to happen on your device. Screenshot image content does not need to be uploaded to RATdeck just to perform these workflows. Account and subscription communication is separate.

Private by design

Common scrolling capture problems

Long screenshots are more than “take screenshot, then scroll.”

Accurate scrolling capture needs to manage the changing viewport while avoiding duplicated or missing content. Capture's architecture was built around the problems that appear on real modern webpages.

Repeated sticky headers

A fixed header can stay in the same viewport position during every scroll step and appear multiple times in a naive stitched image. Capture includes handling intended to reduce that repetition.

Overlapping viewport regions

Each scroll can contain pixels already captured in the previous viewport. Capture's stitching workflow focuses on adding the new unseen region rather than blindly stacking full screenshots.

Lazy and dynamic content

Some pages load content while they move. Freeze-motion and capture timing help improve consistency, although extremely dynamic or infinite pages can still behave differently from static webpages.

Very tall screenshots

Editing a 10,000px+ image can be awkward. Capture includes Fit Page, Fit Width and numeric crop controls so you do not have to drag a crop handle through thousands of pixels.

Scrolling screenshot explained

Scrolling screenshot, long screenshot and full-page screenshot: what is the difference?

Scrolling screenshot

“Scrolling screenshot” describes the process: the tool scrolls through content that extends below the visible viewport and captures it as it moves.

This is often what people mean when they search for a Chrome scrolling capture tool or ask how to screenshot a whole webpage that does not fit on one screen.

Long screenshot

“Long screenshot” usually describes the output: one tall image containing several viewport heights of content. It is commonly used for long articles, landing pages, chats, dashboards and documentation.

Full-page screenshot

“Full-page screenshot” describes the scope: capture the complete webpage rather than only the visible area. On a normal long page, this usually requires scrolling capture under the hood.

Capture supports all three ideas through one Full Page mode: automatically scroll the webpage, capture the newly revealed content, stitch it into one long image and then open that image in the editor.

When not to use scrolling capture

If you only need one card, form, hero section or small visible issue, Select Element, Select Area or Visible Screen can be faster and produce a smaller screenshot.

Scrolling screenshot FAQ

Questions people ask about long-page screenshot capture.

How do I take a scrolling screenshot in Chrome?+

Open the webpage, choose Capture's Full Page mode and start the capture. The extension moves through the page automatically, records the unseen sections and combines them into one long screenshot.

Is a scrolling screenshot the same as a full-page screenshot?+

Usually, yes for long webpages. “Scrolling screenshot” describes how the page is captured, while “full-page screenshot” describes the final scope of the image.

Can Capture take a very long screenshot?+

Capture is designed for long webpages and includes long-page editing controls. Extremely large or highly dynamic webpages can still be constrained by browser canvas and webpage behavior, so the extension should fail safely rather than silently produce a misleading image.

Does it repeat sticky headers while scrolling?+

Capture's stitching logic includes handling intended to reduce repeated sticky or fixed interface elements such as headers, navigation and sidebars.

Can I crop a long screenshot easily?+

Yes. Long-page crop includes Fit Page, Fit Width, Reset and numeric Top, Bottom, Left and Right controls so you can trim a very tall image without manually dragging across the whole screenshot.

Can I blur information before sharing the scrolling screenshot?+

Yes. Blur and pixelate tools are available in the editor. For passwords, API keys or highly sensitive secrets, fully cover, remove or crop the content rather than relying only on visual blur.

Can a scrolling screenshot be saved as PDF?+

Yes. The professional PDF workflow can split a tall screenshot across readable pages and can also include notes, branding and review information.

Are screenshots uploaded while Capture scrolls the page?+

Normal page capture, stitching and editing are designed to occur locally on your computer. Screenshot image content does not need to be uploaded to RATdeck for those actions.
