# Take a full-page screenshot of any website

> Take a screenshot of a whole web page, from the top to the very bottom, as one image. Paste the address, nothing to install. Also available as an API.

To take a screenshot of a whole web page, paste its address into CurlShot and press the button. CurlShot opens the page in a real browser, scrolls it from top to bottom so every image loads, and gives you one tall image of the entire page. Nothing to install, and no browser extension.

Do it in the browser, free and without an account: https://curlshot.com/tools/full-page-screenshot

## Steps

1. Copy the address of the page from the bar at the top of your browser and paste it into the box.
2. Keep "Whole page" selected. Choose a computer, phone or tablet view.
3. Press "Take the screenshot", then download the image.

## What people use it for

## Questions

### How do I screenshot an entire web page, not only the part I see?

Paste the page address into CurlShot and keep "Whole page" selected. The screenshot covers the page from the top to the bottom, including everything you would have to scroll to see.

### Do images further down the page appear in the screenshot?

Yes. Many pages load images only when you scroll to them. CurlShot scrolls through the page first so those images load, then takes the screenshot.

### Is there a limit to how tall the page can be?

Yes. Very long pages are cut off at a maximum height so the image stays a usable size. The limit is higher on paid plans, and with the API you set it yourself with the full_page_max_height option.

### Is it free?

You can try it on this page without an account. A free account adds a monthly allowance of screenshots and keeps them in one place.
