How-To Geek

How to take a full-page screenshot of a website on an iphone or ipad.

Single-page screenshots are so last year. Let's go the whole hog.

Using a feature tucked away in iPhones (running iOS 13 or later) or iPads (running iPadOS 13 or later), you can take a "full-page" screenshot of a website in Safari and save it as a PDF file. Here's how.

First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad and navigate to the website you'd like to capture with a full-page screenshot. (This feature doesn't work in Chrome for iPhone or iPad yet.)

When you're ready, take a screenshot on your device by pressing a combination of physical buttons. Here's how to do it on each type of device:

  • iPhones without a Home button:  Briefly press and hold the Side and Volume Up buttons at the same time.
  • iPhones with a Home and Side button: Briefly press and hold the Home and Side buttons at the same time.
  • iPhones with a Home and Top button: Briefly press and hold the Home and Top buttons at the same time.
  • iPads without a Home button: Briefly press and hold the Top button and the Volume Up button at the same time.
  • iPads with a Home button: Briefly press and hold the Top button and the Home button at the same time.

After you take a screenshot, you'll see a thumbnail image of the screenshot in the corner of the screen. Tap the thumbnail once.

After tapping the thumbnail, you'll enter a screenshot editing mode. Tap the "Full Page" tab located just below the toolbar at the top of the screen. You'll see a preview of the entire web page appear along the right side of the screen. You can scroll through it by sliding your finger.

If you don't like the capture, you can press the Trash Can icon to delete it. But if you're satisfied and want to save it as a PDF file, tap "Done."

In the small pop-up dialog that appears, tap "Save PDF to Files."

Next, browse to the location in Files where you want to save the full-page website capture. When you find the right spot, tap "Save."

If you want to read the full-page screenshot later, open the Files app , navigate to the location of the PDF you just saved, and tap the file once to open it.

Repeat this process as often as you'd like with any website that you'd like to capture as a PDF. Interestingly, the full-page screenshot technique also works in Apple's Pages and Notes apps (although not perfectly), so it might work in other apps as well if you experiment. Have fun!

How to take a full-page screenshot in any iPhone app

In this tutorial, we will show you how to take a full-page screenshot in Apple apps like Safari, Mail, Notes, Maps, and Files, as well as any other non-Apple apps like Google Chrome, Firefox, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.

Full web page screenshot in iPhone Photos app

If you’ve ever wanted to send a screenshot that shows more than what’s on your screen, then you may want to consider sending a full-page scrolling screenshot.

The process is similar to taking a regular screenshot , but with a full-page version, you get to share more.

Use the built-in full-page screenshot tool on iPhone

iOS has a native option to capture the entire web page, note, email, PDF, or map in one go and save it as an image to the Photos app, or as a PDF to the Files app.

This native screenshot tool works with Safari (when you’re on a web page) and a few other Apple apps like Notes (when you’re inside a note), Mail (when you’re inside an individual email), the Files app (when you’ve opened a PDF), and Apple Maps (when you’ve a map on the screen).

The steps to capture a full-page screenshot in all these apps are similar. We’ve used Safari for this tutorial.

  • Open Safari , Notes , Mail , Files , or Maps  on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Take a screenshot as you would normally do by pressing the Volume Up + Side button .
  • Now tap the screenshot preview that appears on the bottom corner of the screen.
  • Select Full Page from the top. A new preview window will appear next to the screenshot, where you can scroll to see the entire screen. You can also Markup and crop the screenshot.
  • Finally, tap Done and select Save to Photos or Save PDF to Files .

Take full page screenshot of a web page in Safari on iPhone and save it to Photos or Files app

The scrolling screenshot of the Safari web page or the concerned app is now ready. Depending on where you saved it, you’ll find it inside the Photos or Files app.

Crop the screenshot

Before saving the screenshot, you can also make changes to it. For example, you can use the Markup tools or crop the screenshot to remove any unwanted parts of the web page or the screen grab. To do that, tap the Crop button on top of the screen and adjust the screenshot per your requirement. After that, tap Done  > Done and save it.

Don’t see the ‘Save to Photos’ option?

While the ability to save a full-screen capture as a PDF via the above method has existed for several years, you can save them as an image to the Photos app only on iOS 17 and later . So, make sure you update your iPhone to get the “Save to Photos” option.

Secondly, you won’t see the “Save to Photos” option if the web page, PDF, note, or email is extremely lengthy . However, it should have you covered for most web articles. In case the on-page ads make the screenshot lengthy, use Safari Reader Mode to strip the ads and then take a screenshot.

Take a scrolling screenshot in all other iPhone apps

Thanks to third-party apps like Picsew (paid version – $1.99), you can take scrolling screenshots anywhere you scroll vertically, like Chrome, Firefox, WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail, App Library, Messages, Calendars, Reminders, and more, provided that particular app has not blocked the screenshot feature .

Here’s how to take a scrolling, long-form, full-page screenshot on any iPhone and iPad screen:

1) Download Picsew from the App Store. Now, open it and tap the gear icon > Advanced Features to upgrade to its Pro version.

2) Make sure the screen recording icon is added to your iPhone Control Center. If not, go to Settings > Control Center and tap the green plus icon for Screen Recording .

Add Screen Recording to iPhone Control Center

3) Be in the browser, app, or screen whose long screenshot you wish to take. From here, open the Control Center:

  • On iPhone with Face ID, swipe down from the top right corner.
  • On iPhone with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.

4) Long-press the screen recording icon .

5) Select Picsew and tap Start Broadcasting . You have three seconds to tap any empty area in the Control Center to return to the screen whose long screenshot you want.

6) While Picsew is recording your screen (you will see a red pill shape or bar on top of your screen), scroll the page .

7) Once you have scrolled to the desired length (in the screenshots below, you can see I have scrolled from the top of the article to the bottom), tap the red pill shape or red bar from the top of your iPhone to stop the screen recording. At times, you might also see a notification from Picsew saying it has finished the screen recording.

8) Open Picsew from the popup or the Home Screen.

9) The app has already stitched several images one after another, creating a long screenshot. Optionally, you can use the tiny yellow pencil icon to adjust individual images. Once done, tap the share icon from the top right and export it as an image or PDF.

An iPhone being held up, representing an article about how to screenshot a full page on iPhone

There are so many hidden iOS features that it can be a challenge remembering them all, but knowing how to screenshot a full page on iPhone is one I've never forgotten. 

As a writer, I often find myself needing to screenshot large chunks of text from websites and articles to send to someone or read later. And while my iPhone 13 Pro Max has an enviable screen size, my stomach turns slightly at the thought of having to screenshot 25 pages of long-form text individually, ensuring nothing is missed, before sending each screenshot one by one.

Fortunately for me, Apple has thought about this, giving any device running iOS an easy way to capture a full page with just a couple of clicks. So read on and I'll show you how to use the full page screenshot feature on iPhone and iPad to capture and share an entire Safari page in one go. 

How to screenshot a full page on iPhone and iPad

1. Open Safari and head over to a webpage you want to screenshot. Simultaneously press the Side and Volume Up buttons to take a screenshot. A thumbnail preview box will appear in the bottom-left of the screen.

If you have an iPad, it's pretty much the same, but you'll need to press the Lock button and Volume Up simultaneously .

2. Tap the screenshot preview box , then tap Full Page at the top.

3. Scroll the page using the bar on the right of the screen.

5. When you're ready, click Done , then tap Save PDF to Files to store your screenshot for later. Alternatively, hit Share to send the PDF to someone instantly via email or direct message.

So, you now know how to screenshot an entire page on both iPhone and iPad. It's little everyday features like this, designed to make your life easier, that turn your average smartphone or tablet into one of the best phones or best tablets out there.

It's worth nothing that this screenshot feature only works in Safari, and can't be used in other apps. As Safari is the browser I use most of the time, I rarely need this feature anywhere else, but it would be nice to see it rolled out to other apps in the future.

How to Take Full-Page Screenshots in Safari on iOS

Most web pages don't fit in a single screenshot, but this iPhone feature lets you save them to a scrollable PDF instead.

In iOS 13 and later, iPhones and iPads can take scrolling screenshots that capture entire webpages in Safari. The best part is that it's almost exactly like taking a standard screenshot. But, instead of saving a screen-sized image, you save the full page as a scrollable PDF.

Here’s how to take scrolling screenshots in Safari.

How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot of a Webpage

To take a scrolling screenshot of a full webpage in Safari, follow these steps:

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage you want to screenshot.

Press the volume up button and the power button simultaneously to take a screenshot. If your iPhone has a Home button, press the Home button and the power button instead. (Learn how to take screenshots without a power button .)

Tap the Full Page option in the toggle near the top of the screen.

The view will change slightly to show the top portion of the scrolling screenshot and, next to it, a miniaturized overview of the entire screenshot down the side. You can scroll the main view of the screenshot by swiping up and down with two fingers.

Dragging the highlighted box on the miniaturized view to the right lets you quickly move the screenshot.

While you’re viewing the screenshot, crop it by tapping the Crop button (which looks like a square with overlapping lines) in the top toolbar. You can also edit it using the markup tools along the bottom of your iPhone’s screen.

When you’re finished cropping and marking up the screenshot, tap the Share button to save it to Files or send it to another app. Your iPhone will save the full webpage as a long, single-page PDF document.

If you want to delete the screenshot without saving it, tap Done and then tap Delete Screenshot .

Other apps can support the full-page screenshot feature, too. Apple’s Mail app is one example; however, it saves a paginated PDF rather than a scrollable single-page file.

One Screenshot Is Better Than Two

Previously, iOS users depended on third-party scrolling screenshot apps to share long webpages. Now, the feature is built right into iOS and works just like a standard screenshot. Once you’ve learned this skill, there are even more ways of taking screenshots on an iPhone to discover.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to take full page screenshots in safari on iphone & ipad.

How to Take Full Page Screenshots in Safari

Have you ever wanted to take a full webpage screenshot in Safari on iPhone or iPad? Now you can do exactly that with the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, where you’re able to snap full page screenshot and save it as a PDF file, which can then be shared, saved locally, edited, printed, or anything else you’d like to do with it.

Android smartphones have had the ability to capture scrolling screenshots for quite a while now. Also known as full page or long screenshots, this feature allows users to take a screenshot of an entire web page and share it with anyone, which is a lot more convenient than taking multiple screenshots. Until now, iOS had lacked this functionality, but you don’t have to feel like you’re left out anymore. With iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and later, Apple allows you to take full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad, though the feature is limited to the Safari web browser .

Are you one of those iOS users who felt like you were missing out on such a nifty feature? Look no further, because in this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can take full page screenshots using Safari on iPhone and iPad. Let’s get right to it.

Since this feature was introduced alongside recent iOS versions, you need to make sure your iPhone and iPad is running iOS 13 / iPadOS 13 or later. Capturing full page screenshots on your iPhone and iPad is fairly similar to taking any regular screenshot , except you have to choose a specific option that saves the whole web page as a file. Here’s how this works:

  • Open “Safari” web browser from the home screen of your iPhone and iPad, then visit a website or webpage you want to take a full page screenshot of.

Safari Icon

  • Next, tap on the thumbnail of the screenshot in the bottom corner of the screen to bring up the markup and sharing option menu for that screen shot

How to take a full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad in Safari

Now that you’ve taken a full webpage screenshot in Safari, you might be wondering how to locate that full page screenshot on the iPhone or iPad. That’s what we’ll discuss next.

How to Find and Share Full Page Screenshots on iPhone & iPad

Unlike regular screenshots that get saved to Photos app as a PNG file, “Full Page” screenshots get saved as a PDF file that can be accessed using the Files app on your iPhone and iPad. Simply follow the steps below to find and share your screenshots.

Files App iOS 13

Those are the steps that you need to follow in order to snap, find, and share your Full Page screenshots.

The brief video below shows the process of taking full page screenshots on an iPhone; taking the screenshot, tapping the thumbnail, selecting ‘Full Page’ from the tab options, then tapping on ‘Done’ so you can save the full webpage screenshot as a PDF file to your device or elsewhere (you can also share it directly from that screen).

Prior to this feature being native to screenshots in the latest iOS and iPadOS releases, your only option was to grab multiple screenshots and stitch them together using a third-party application from the App Store, but having this feature built in is much more convenient.

Apple took some time to bring these full page scrolling screenshots to iOS devices, but now that it’s here it’s quite useful particularly for anyone who works with the web, or even if you just want to save a webpage locally.

The feature is not perfect however, as it only applies to Safari thus far and you can’t really use other third-party web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Focus, etc for capturing Full Page screenshots with this technique. Thus if you don’t use Safari for browsing on iPhone or iPad, you’re out of luck for easy full page screenshots.

Additionally, while you can snap full webpage screenshots, you can’t take Full Page screenshots within other apps like Mail, Facebook, Instagram, etc (yet at least, but perhaps that will arrive in a future version of iOS and iPadOS?).

Finally, remember that all of these full page screenshots aren’t really images, but instead they’re saved as PDF files. That may be inconvenient to access and share compared to JPEG and PNG files like regular screenshots, but it also may be a necessity for capturing the full length of a webpage and being able to view it properly.

What do you think of Full Page Screenshots within Safari on iPhone and iPad? Do you see yourself using this feature to capture whole web pages? Let us know your thoughts, experiences, and opinions in the comments section down below.

This is a cool but useless feature unless the screenshot is saved as, well, a screenshot (JPG or PNG). Saving it as a PDF is useless. PDFs don’t show up in Photos and so can’t be shared via Messages.

Linda! Thank you for this. I have IPhone XS and and a 13 iOS. This works only if you search for website in Safari. If you are in Google (which I do almost exclusively even though my son tells me not to) you will NOT get the full page tab. Search for the website you want In the Safari browser not in Google.

I have the same problem with mr.Carlos. Only part of the full website is captured, maybe there’s a limitation of how long you can captured..

This would be great……..if it worked properly! Having gone through the steps as instructed, the saved webpage is incomplete. Realising that each part of the page generated as I scrolled down, I let that happen before taking the screenshot. It worked….in part. Half of the webpage is missing. I haven’t been able to solve this issue. So, useless!

Great tip. As well as in Safari, I have been able to use this in Apple’s iOS/iPadOS Mail and Numbers apps.

I use the Tailor app. Saves to your Photos. I like that better then as a PDF.

Here is how to snap a full webpage screenshot with iPhone or iPad:

– Open Safari

– Go to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad (press Volume Up and Power, or Home button + Power, depends on your device)

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

– You can then use the Share option to send it to someone directly, or to email it or save it

– If you tap on Done you will have the immediate option to “Save as PDF” to save the entire webpage screenshot as a PDF file

There you have it. This is a great feature.

This did not work for me with an iPhone XS MAX. Tried it a couple of times and all I get is the screen to power off the phone.

Nedda, after you take the screenshot of the webpage in Safari, immediately tap on the thumbnail icon of the screenshot that appears in the corner of the screen. Then you’ll be in the markup screen where you can select “Full Page” to snap the full webpage screenshot.

Hope that helps!

I tried it .. just upgrade to 13.3.1 . and when i hit those two buttons it takes a snapshot and doesn’t give me any options for Full or not

It’s hidden behind the editing toolbar. Slide the toolbar out of the way and you’ll see the missing menu

IPad Pro (first version) iPadOS 13.3.1. Safari Sorry Linda but this does not work here. I just get a screenshot saved in photos.

Hi, not working on iPad Air running iOS 13…don’t get the tabs, just takes screenshot

Tap on the thumbnail after you take the screenshot in Safari, that’s how you access the the tabs to choose the full page screenshot option!

I am running IOS 13.3 on an iPhone XR, this feature is not present!

On my iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, using Power + Home button in Safari, I only get the standard prtscrn image.

I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1, I use Power button + Home on Safari, and I only get the standard printscreen to image.

How can I stop getting mail from my old discontinued Blackberry account?

Be aware you must choose FULL PAGE very quick on an iPad or in a blink it defaults to screen.

Finally! Long overdue feature.

So will I not be able to take a photo? I want to be able to create a jpg in Safari.

I have an Xr iPhone with the very latest and tabs do not show either.

This is a great tip! Thanks a lot Paul 😊

The “two tabs” shown in step 3 do not appear on an iPhone 8 or an iPhone X. Are you sure this isn’t just a trick for iPhone 11?

Positively this is for every iPhone or iPad that runs the latest iOS / ipadOS releases. If you’re not using Safari or on iOS 13 or later you will not have this full page screen shot option however.

No, the “two tabs” do not appear on my iPhone X either. I am running the latest 13.3.1 software

You neglected to tell people to click on the thumbnail screenshot image (before it disappears) that was created by pressing the button combinations in step 2.

Only then will the options in step 3 be available.

I agree with Fulano. I am running ios13 on my iPhone X and this functionality does not exist.

I’m running iOS 13 on my iPhone X and iPadOS 13.4 on iPad and the functionality DOES EXIST, there is an extra step that some of you are missing however. Here is how you do this:

– Open Safari

– GO to a web page that is long enough to scroll

– Take a screenshot as usual on your iPhone or iPad

– NOW tap the screenshot thumbnail that appears in the corner – this is the part some people are skipping

– Choose “FULL PAGE” at the top of the screen to take the full webpage screenshot on iPhone or iPad or iPod

There you have it, doing it right now as we speak!

This is a feature that Apple openly talks about on their own website and it’s a good one. Remember to tap that thumbnail in Safari after the screenshot, that’s how you can select FULL PAGE!

I, too, had trouble finding the tabs at first. There’s a step missing: the tabs are in the temporary screenshot that appears at the bottom of your iPhone or iPad screen. Tap on that temporary image and you will see the tabs and be able to follow the rest of the instructions.

Screenshot a whole page (or an entire email) on iPhone

By D. Griffin Jones • 6:00 am, February 28, 2024

Capture The Whole Page

It’s easy to take a screenshot on your iPhone to keep a copy of something in your photo library for later. You can even screenshot a whole page on an iPhone at once using a somewhat hidden feature.

If you want to take a screenshot of something like an in-depth recipe, a lengthy email or anything else that doesn’t fit on your iPhone screen, you can take an extended screenshot. Instead of filling your library with five separate images, you can use your iPhone to screenshot the entire page (or a large section of it) without using an app to stitch them together after the fact.

Here’s how it’s done. (I’ll show you how to do this on a Mac, too.)

How to take (and edit) a standard screenshot on iPhone

  • To take a screenshot on an iPhone with Face ID, simultaneously press the volume-up and power buttons.
  • On an iPhone with Touch ID, press the Home button and power button.
  • The image will be saved to your camera roll in Photos .
  • If you want to edit the screenshot, tap on the preview in the bottom left. Tap the Crop button to cut out part of the image. Then you can circle, highlight or draw on the image using the tools on the bottom.
  • Press the Share button in the top right to send it directly to someone over iMessage, AirDrop, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Mail, Discord, Slack, etc.
  • Tap Done to Save to Photos . You also can press Copy and Delete if you just want to paste the screenshot into another app without keeping a copy in your library.

Time needed:  1 minute

Next, tap on the screenshot preview in the bottom left of the screen. In the pop-up, tap  Full Page on top.

Crop a screenshot

If you don’t see the “Save to Photos” option, it’s because the page is too big. Tap the  Crop button next to Done. You can crop up from the bottom to make it a bit smaller, tap  Done , then try again. Tap  Done (again) and see if  Save to Photos is available.

Screenshot a whole page on Mac

You can screenshot a whole page on a Mac, too, but it requires some extra steps.

Selecting “Capture Screenshot” in Safari

  • Open Safari and bring up the page you want to screenshot.
  • In the menu bar, go to Safari > Settings (it may be called Preferences on older versions of macOS). Go to the Advanced tab and check Show features for web developers . (It also may be called Show Develop menu in menu bar.)
  • In the menu bar, click Develop > Show web inspector (or hit ⌥⌘I ).
  • Right-click on the first line of code that starts with <html and click Capture Screenshot . It may take a few seconds for the dialog box to appear. It also might not work at all, depending on the website, as it’s a little unreliable.
  • Save the image and give it a name.
