How to Take Scrolling Screenshots in Microsoft Edge
Taking screenshots is an everyday task for many internet users, but capturing an entire webpage can be a bit tricky. Fortunately, Microsoft Edge offers a built-in feature to take scrolling screenshots without needing any extensions.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how to do this step-by-step.
What is a Scrolling Screenshot?
A scrolling screenshot captures not just what’s currently visible on your screen but the entire webpage, from top to bottom. This is extremely useful for capturing long articles, webpages, or threads in a single image.

Open Microsoft Edge
Start by launching the Microsoft Edge browser on your computer. Navigate to the webpage you want to capture.

Choose Scrolling Capture
Once the Web Capture tool appears, you’ll see two options: “Capture Area” and “Capture Full Page”. Click on “Capture Full Page” for a scrolling screenshot.

After capturing, a preview will appear. You can either save the screenshot to your computer or share it directly through various options like email or social media.
Edit (Optional)
Before saving or sharing, you can also edit the screenshot. Crop it, draw on it, or add text annotations to highlight important parts.
