Screenshots are fun. They are essential too. Most of the internet users are pretty much obsessed with screengrabs and it’s no brainer that it is useful as well. If you are using Windows, you can hit the Print Screenbutton from your keyboard to get the screenshot of the desired page. However, if you are on Mac, you can grab the screenshot by Shift-Command-5. In his post, David Murphy has discovered this unique idea of grabbing screenshots of entire web pages without any chrome extension.
When it comes to extensions, there is no ambiguity in taking full-page screenshots. However, David found out that an extension is not at all required if you are to screenshot a certain web page.
THE TRICK
At the outset, you would be required to open Chrome’s Developer Tools by pressing F12 on your keyboard from Windows or Command+Option+i from Mac. Thereafter, you will have to tap the little icon which looks like a smartphone which is visible in front of a tablet to enter into the Device mode. This is how it looks like:
This is how the page would appear in your browser:

AFTER
Follow these steps afterwards:
- Press Control/Command+Shift+P
- Type ‘Capture full size screenshot’
- Select that option
Chrome will automatically create a beautiful .PNG of the page besides downloading it in your Downloads folder.
According to your needs, you can also adjust how the screenshots look. Besides playing with the dimensions, you can customize your own height and width.
