Capture a full page screenshot in Chrome with Sleekins
A full page screenshot saves an entire webpage in one image, from the header to the footer, even when the page is much taller than your screen. Sleekins captures long pages in Chrome, stitches them into one PNG, lets you preview and export instantly, and opens the same capture in the Sleekins editor when you want polished backgrounds, frames, and export-ready visuals.
What is a full page screenshot?
A full page screenshot is a single image of a complete webpage. Instead of capturing only the visible viewport, the tool scrolls through the document, records each section, and stitches the tiles into one continuous file. The result looks like one tall PNG of the entire page.
This is different from a standard screenshot, which usually saves only what fits on your monitor. Full page capture is essential when you need the whole landing page, an entire documentation article, a long changelog, a dashboard with vertical scroll, or any UI that extends beyond the first screen.
Sleekins focuses on two jobs that usually require separate tools: capturing the full page in Chrome and polishing the result in a screenshot editor. You can stop after a fast export, or continue in Sleekins when the screenshot needs backgrounds, frames, aspect ratios, and higher quality export settings.
Why teams use full page screenshots
Full page screenshots are one of the fastest ways to share context. Product teams use them for release notes and feature walkthroughs. Marketers archive campaign pages. Support teams document bugs with the entire page visible. Founders capture investor updates. Designers reference live UI without rebuilding mocks by hand.
- Share an entire landing page in one Slack message or Loom frame
- Archive pricing, docs, or policy pages before they change
- Document long dashboards, tables, and admin panels in one file
- Hand off a full capture to a screenshot editor for polish and social sizing
- Keep a visual record of SEO pages, changelogs, and onboarding flows
The challenge is not only capture. Most browser tools stop at a raw PNG. Sleekins adds a built-in preview for crop, zoom, copy, and direct export, then a one click path into the full Sleekins editor when the screenshot needs more work.
How Sleekins captures a full page in Chrome
The Sleekins Chrome extension captures full pages by scrolling the active tab, recording each visible tile, and stitching the tiles into one image. The workflow starts in the browser toolbar, moves through a simple capture popup, and finishes in a built-in preview where you can crop, export, or send the file to the Sleekins editor.
Every step runs locally in Chrome. You choose the tab, pick full page or viewport capture, review the stitched screenshot, and export PNG, WebP, JPEG, or PDF without leaving the extension unless you want advanced styling in the main editor.
1. Open the Sleekins Chrome extension
Navigate to the webpage you want to save, then click the Sleekins icon in the Chrome toolbar. The extension works on the active tab only, so open the landing page, docs article, dashboard, or marketing site you need before you start capture. Pin the extension for faster access if you capture full page screenshots often.
If you have not installed Sleekins yet, add the Chrome extension from the Sleekins extension page, then return to the tab you want to capture and open the popup from the toolbar.
2. Choose full page or viewport in the popup
In the Sleekins Capture popup, select Full page to scroll through the document and stitch the entire webpage into one image. This is the mode you want for long landing pages, documentation, changelogs, pricing tables, and any UI that extends below the fold. Select Viewport when you only need the visible screen, such as a modal, hero section, or quick share of what is on screen right now.
Full page mode is the core of this guide. Sleekins handles the scrolling and stitching automatically after you confirm the capture. The built-in preview opens as soon as the image is ready so you can inspect the result before export.
3. Scroll, stitch, and preview the capture
Sleekins scrolls the page incrementally and stitches each tile into one PNG. The built-in preview opens immediately so you can zoom, inspect dimensions, and confirm the full page before you download or edit it. Very long pages are scaled only when Chrome bitmap limits require it.
4. Crop, copy, and export from the built-in preview
After capture, Sleekins opens a built-in preview editor in Chrome. You can finish common tasks there without importing the image into the main Sleekins editor. Zoom to inspect pixels, crop to a section, copy the image to your clipboard, or download PNG, WebP, or JPEG directly from the preview toolbar.
The crop tool supports free selection, locked proportions, 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 ratios. Adjust the crop box, review the pixel dimensions, then apply the crop before export. That makes it easy to share one section of a long full page capture while keeping the original workflow inside the extension.
5. Export PDF without opening the main editor
When you need a document instead of a flat image, export the capture as PDF directly from the extension preview. Long full page screenshots can span multiple pages in the PDF, which is useful for docs, handoffs, archives, and client reviews. No upload and no trip through the main editor is required for this step.
6. Choose export format, quality, and compression
When the capture looks right, open the export menu in the extension preview and pick the format your project needs. Original PNG keeps a lossless full page screenshot for archives and design handoffs. WebP is the best balance of quality and file size for web and product docs. JPEG suits photo-heavy pages when you want a familiar image format. PDF turns long captures into a multi-page document for client reviews and internal records.
Sleekins also includes compressed WebP and JPEG exports when you need smaller files for email, Slack, Notion, or support tickets without opening another tool. Copy the image to your clipboard with one click, or choose Open in Sleekins editor when the capture needs backgrounds, frames, aspect ratios, and polished exports beyond the built-in preview.
Full page capture vs viewport capture
Viewport capture saves what you see right now. It is ideal for quick shares of a modal, a hero section, or a single screen in an app. Full page capture saves the entire document by scrolling and stitching every section into one image.
Sleekins supports both modes from the same extension popup. Use viewport when speed matters and the visible screen is enough. Use full page when the story lives above and below the fold, or when you need one file that shows the complete webpage.
Export formats after a full page capture
The extension preview export menu covers the formats most teams need after a full page screenshot. Lossless PNG preserves every pixel. WebP and JPEG give you efficient image exports for docs and social sharing. PDF handles long stitched captures as a document. Compressed WebP and JPEG reduce file size when email limits or upload caps matter.
You choose the output directly in Chrome without re-exporting in a separate app. Copy the image when you need a fast paste into Slack, Figma, or a ticket. Open in Sleekins editor when the capture needs frames, backgrounds, custom aspect ratios, or SVG export for marketing assets.
Privacy, permissions, and local capture
Sleekins captures and previews screenshots locally in your browser. Your images stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. The extension requests only activeTab, scripting, and storage. It does not ask for broad host permissions, because capture runs on the tab you trigger from the popup.
This keeps the workflow simple for personal use, client work, and internal product documentation. You stay in control of the file from capture through export.
Who full page screenshot capture is for
Sleekins is built for anyone who captures webpages regularly and cares about the quality of the final image. Founders archive launch pages. Marketers save funnels and campaign landers. Product teams document flows and changelogs. Support and QA teams share full context in one screenshot instead of multiple cropped pieces.
If you only need a quick visible screen, viewport capture is enough. If you need the whole page in one file, full page capture with preview and editor handoff is the workflow Sleekins is designed around.

Install the Sleekins Chrome extension to capture full pages and viewport screenshots from any tab. Preview the stitched capture instantly, export PNG, WebP, JPEG, or PDF, or open the same image in the Sleekins editor for backgrounds, frames, and polished exports.
