How to Save a Web Page as a JPG (Full Page, Free)

Every desktop browser can already capture a whole web page, top to bottom, without an extension or an upload site. The catch is that most of them save a PNG. Here is how to capture the full page in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and on your phone, and how to turn the result into a JPG that is small enough to email or upload.

The quick answer

1. Capture the full page with your browser's built-in screenshot (steps for each browser below).
2. Drop the saved PNG into the PNG to JPG converter and set the quality to 85-90 so the text stays sharp.
3. If the page is very long, cut it into sections with the split image tool before you send it.

Only need what is on screen right now? A normal screenshot is faster; the screenshot to JPG guide covers the keyboard shortcuts for every device.

Chrome and Edge: the hidden "full size screenshot" command

Chrome and Edge share the same developer tools, and those tools include a full-page capture that most people never find:

1. Open the page and press F12 (on a Mac, ⌘ + Option + I) to open the developer tools.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + P (⌘ + Shift + P on a Mac) to open the command menu.
3. Type screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot.

The browser scrolls the page internally and downloads one tall PNG to your Downloads folder. It is captured at your screen's pixel density, so on a laptop with a 2x display a page that is 1,280 pixels wide in the browser comes out 2,560 pixels wide. That is great for sharpness but makes the file large, which is one more reason to convert it to JPG.

Edge also has its own tool: press Ctrl + Shift + S for Web capture, choose Capture full page, then use the save button. If the file it gives you is not a JPG, run it through the converter.

Firefox: built into the right-click menu

Right-click an empty part of the page and choose Take Screenshot, then click Save full page and Download. Firefox saves the capture as an image in your Downloads folder (usually a PNG). You can also drag across just one part of the page to capture a section, which is handy for a receipt or a single article.

Safari on a Mac

Safari can do it through its developer tools. Turn them on once in Safari > Settings > Advanced by ticking Show features for web developers. Then open the page, choose Develop > Show Web Inspector, right-click the <html> line at the top of the Elements tab and choose Capture Screenshot. Safari asks where to save a PNG of the whole page.

iPhone and iPad

Take a normal screenshot in Safari, tap the preview in the corner and switch to the Full Page tab. iOS saves a full-page capture as a PDF in the Files app rather than as a photo. If you need a JPG, take ordinary screenshots as you scroll (they save to Photos), or capture the page on a computer. iPhone screenshots are PNGs, and the screenshot to JPG converter turns a batch of them into JPGs at once.

Android

Most recent Android phones have a scrolling screenshot. Take a screenshot, then tap Capture more (Pixel) or the scroll capture arrow (Samsung) and drag the frame down to the end of what you need. The name of the button varies by maker, but it appears in the same toolbar that shows after any screenshot.

Turning the capture into a good JPG

A full-page screenshot is mostly text, flat colours and a few photos. PNG keeps the text perfectly crisp, which is why browsers use it, but JPG is far more widely accepted by upload forms and is usually much smaller for pages with photos. A few settings make the difference:

• Quality 85-90. JPG compression blurs sharp edges first, and text is all sharp edges. Below about 80 you start to see smudges around letters.
• Resize before you compress. A 2x capture can be scaled to 50% with the image resizer and still read well on a normal screen. Halving the width and height cuts the pixel count to a quarter.
• Need it under a size limit? Use compress image to size and type the limit in KB.

Very long pages: split them

JPG has a hard limit of 65,535 pixels on each side, and many apps and email previews struggle long before that. A long article captured at 2x can easily run past 20,000 pixels tall. Split it into screen-height pieces with the split image tool; the pieces are numbered in order, and each is easy to view on a phone. If the reader needs to scroll through the whole thing as one document, a PDF is the better format: the image to PDF tool puts the pieces on consecutive pages.

What about "webpage to JPG" websites?

Online services that take a URL and return a JPG load the page on their own server. That works for public pages, but they cannot see anything behind your login (a bank statement, an order page, a private dashboard), and you are handing the address to a third party. The browser methods above capture exactly what you see, including logged-in pages, and nothing leaves your computer until you choose to send it.

Common problems

• Sticky headers repeat or cover text. The developer-tools capture usually handles them; Firefox and phone scroll captures sometimes show a header more than once. Scroll to the top before you start, or close cookie banners and chat bubbles first.
• Images are missing lower down. Many pages load pictures only when you scroll to them. Scroll slowly to the bottom once, then back to the top, and capture again.
• The downloaded file will not upload. Check what it really is with the file type checker; a PNG renamed to .jpg is still a PNG, and some forms reject it. See also fix "file type not supported".
