Why PageShotter?

There are already several good screenshot extensions.

PageShotter isn’t trying to win by having the longest feature list.

We’re concentrating on the part that matters before everything else:

Getting the capture right.

Our priorities include pages that commonly make scrolling screenshots difficult:

• long webpages;
• lazy-loaded content;
• sticky or fixed elements;
• changing page heights;
• authenticated dashboards and applications;
• complicated scrolling layouts.

If your current screenshot extension already handles every page you need perfectly, you may not need PageShotter.

If it doesn’t, we’d like the test case.

PageShotter vs GoFullPage

Both tools are designed around full-page screenshot capture.

Important: PageShotter is new. GoFullPage is a mature product used by many people.

We’re not going to claim PageShotter is universally better.

Instead, we’re building it around a narrower question:

Can we make full-page capture exceptionally reliable on the webpages people actually struggle with?

If you’re here because GoFullPage is currently unavailable, see the GoFullPage status update.

PageShotter vs FireShot

FireShot is another established screenshot extension and includes a much broader set of screenshot, editing and workflow features.

If you need an extensive editing toolkit, FireShot may be the better fit.

PageShotter’s philosophy is different:

capture first, complexity later.

We’re deliberately keeping the everyday experience lightweight while concentrating engineering effort on reliable page capture.

Reliability test results

We are building a reproducible difficult-page test set. We will publish specific comparisons only when we can reproduce them consistently.

Built for difficult webpages

A normal webpage is easy.

The interesting cases are the awkward ones.

Long pages

Pages with thousands of pixels of content shouldn’t produce broken stitching or missing sections.

Lazy-loaded pages

Some webpages don’t render content until you scroll to it.

A screenshot tool has to account for that behavior rather than simply racing to the bottom.

Sticky and fixed elements

Navigation bars, cookie banners and floating elements can appear multiple times in stitched screenshots if they aren’t handled properly.

Logged-in pages

Sometimes the page you need isn’t publicly accessible at all.

It might be an admin dashboard, project management tool, analytics report or internal application you’re already logged into.

PageShotter runs in your browser so the capture happens using the page you already have open.

Complex scrolling layouts

Some applications don’t scroll the document itself.

Instead, the content lives inside an inner scrolling container.

These pages are particularly useful test cases for us.

Privacy without an upload workflow

A screenshot may contain information you don’t want automatically uploaded somewhere else.

PageShotter’s basic capture workflow is designed around local processing.

You don’t need to create a PageShotter account just to capture a webpage.

Open page → capture → save.

We actively want pages that break PageShotter

Most software companies would rather show you the easy examples.

We’re interested in the opposite.

Found a page your screenshot extension can’t capture?

Send us a safe reproduction.

We’ll try it with PageShotter.

If PageShotter fails too, that’s useful information for us.

Please don’t submit confidential, private or sensitive webpages. Public reproductions are best.

Who is PageShotter for?

PageShotter is a good fit if you:

• regularly need entire webpages rather than just the visible viewport;
• want PNG or PDF without creating an account;
• capture long or dynamic webpages;
• take screenshots of logged-in browser applications;
• prefer a focused tool rather than a large screenshot suite;
• have pages that other screenshot tools occasionally struggle with.

Which screenshot extension should you choose?

Choose the tool that handles your actual webpages reliably.

Choose GoFullPage if you’re already happy with its workflow and it handles the pages you need.

Choose FireShot if you want a broad screenshot and editing toolkit.

Try PageShotter if you want a lightweight full-page capture workflow or have difficult pages you’d like us to test.

There is no reason to pretend one tool needs to be universally best.

The interesting question is much simpler:

Does it correctly capture your page?
