Microsoft Edge is a great browser and one of the most popular ones on the market. However, there are some things you can do to make it even better. One of these things is to take full-page screenshots in the browser. This will allow you to take a screenshot of a page or document and then save it as a file. You can then use this file as your own workbook or presentation document. To take a full-page screenshot in Microsoft Edge, open the browser and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with three options: “Open in new window”, “Open in history”, and “Take a screenshot”. Choose one of these options and then click on theyscreenshot button at the bottom left corner of the screen. When you take a screenshot in Microsoft Edge, you will be asked to choose an image size. You can either choose to save it as an image file or save it as a PNG file. Once you have chosen an image size, click on the Save button at the bottom left corner of the screen. The screenshot will be saved into your computer’s hard drive and will be ready to use later.
There might be times when you need to capture a screenshot of an entire webpage, perhaps to share a recipe or a how-to from our website. Use Microsoft Edge’s built-in feature to capture full-page screenshots in JPEG format.
Full-page screenshots captured in a JPEG format (as opposed to PDF) make it easy to store and share web pages, especially when you’re using messaging platforms like iMessage, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp.
To get started, open the Microsoft Edge browser on your Windows 10 or Mac computer and go to the web page that you want to capture.
After opening the page, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to make sure that the Web Capture feature loads all images in the article. In our testing, we found that Edge did not include images if we didn’t scroll through the page.
Now, click the Web Capture button from the toolbar. If you don’t see this, make sure that you’re running the latest version of Microsoft Edge.
Here, choose the “Full Page” option.
Now, you’ll see the Web Capture menu. Here, you can scroll to see everything you captured in the screenshot (and to make sure that all elements, including images, are showing up).
If you want to annotate or draw over the screenshot, click the “Draw” button.
From the drop-down next to the Draw button, select the color and the thickness of the stroke.
Then use your cursor to draw over the screenshot. You can use the “Erase” option to delete any annotations.
Once you’re done, click the save button (which looks like a floppy disk) from the toolbar.
Microsoft Edge will instantly download the full-page JPEG image to the default download folder on your computer. You can click the “Open File” button from the downloads bar from the bottom of the window to open the screenshot.
Here, you’ll see a long screenshot of the entire article in one flowing image. Unlike a PDF capture, it will not be divided into pages. If you want to save a web page as a paginated PDF, you can always use the Print to PDF feature in Microsoft Edge.
