Snipping Tool for Chrome — A Better Alternative

Windows Snipping Tool (and Snip & Sketch) captures regions of your screen, but it works at the OS level — meaning it captures everything visible including browser chrome, the taskbar, and other windows. It also cannot capture content below the fold or scrolling web pages. Capture Full Page is a dedicated Chrome extension that works directly on web content: select a specific area on the page, capture the visible viewport, or take a full page scrolling screenshot. Unlike Snipping Tool, it includes a built-in editor with arrows, text, shapes, highlighter, and step numbering for annotations. Export as PNG, save as PDF, or copy to clipboard. Set up keyboard shortcuts for instant access, or use it for bug reporting and tutorial creation.

3 modi per farlo

Method 1: Capture Full Page — The Chrome Snipping Tool

Capture Full Page works like a Snipping Tool built specifically for Chrome. It captures only web page content (no browser chrome or OS elements), offers three capture modes, and includes a full annotation editor. It is the most capable screenshot tool for Chrome.

  1. 1Install Capture Full Page from the Chrome Web Store — no account required.
  2. 2Click the extension icon to see three capture modes: Screen, Full Page, and Area.
  3. 3Area mode: click and drag to draw a rectangle over any region of the page — similar to Snipping Tool's rectangular snip.
  4. 4Screen mode: capture the entire visible viewport in one click.
  5. 5Full Page mode: auto-scroll and capture the entire page — something Snipping Tool cannot do.
  6. 6Every capture opens in the built-in editor — annotate with arrows, text, shapes, highlighter, and step numbers.
  7. 7Export as PNG, PDF, or copy to clipboard.

Method 2: Windows Snipping Tool / Snip & Sketch

Windows Snipping Tool captures rectangular, freeform, window, or fullscreen regions of your screen. It captures at the OS level — including browser UI, taskbar, and overlapping windows.

  1. 1Press Win+Shift+S to open Snipping Tool (Windows 10/11).
  2. 2Choose a snip type: rectangular, freeform, window, or fullscreen.
  3. 3Draw or click to capture — the region is copied to clipboard and a notification appears.
  4. 4Click the notification to open in Snip & Sketch for basic editing (pen, highlighter, ruler).
  5. 5Limitations: captures screen pixels (not web content), no scrolling capture, no arrows, no step numbering, no PDF export.

Method 3: macOS Screenshot Tool

macOS has built-in screenshot tools with Cmd+Shift shortcuts. Like Snipping Tool, they capture the screen rather than web content.

  1. 1Cmd+Shift+3: capture the entire screen.
  2. 2Cmd+Shift+4: draw a selection rectangle for a specific area.
  3. 3Cmd+Shift+5: open the screenshot toolbar with additional options.
  4. 4Images are saved to Desktop — use Preview for basic markup (no arrows, no step numbers).

Domande frequenti

Is there a Snipping Tool for Chrome?
Yes. Capture Full Page works like a Snipping Tool built into Chrome. It offers area selection (similar to rectangular snip), visible viewport capture, and full page scrolling capture — all directly on web content. Unlike Snipping Tool, it includes arrows, text, shapes, step numbering, and PDF export.
Why is a Chrome extension better than Snipping Tool for web screenshots?
Snipping Tool captures screen pixels — including browser chrome, the address bar, bookmarks bar, and taskbar. A Chrome extension like Capture Full Page captures only the web page content, can scroll to capture the full page, and opens the result in an editor designed for web-specific annotation workflows.
Can Snipping Tool capture a full scrolling web page?
No. Snipping Tool can only capture what is currently visible on your screen. It cannot scroll and capture content below the fold. For scrolling screenshots, use Capture Full Page's "Capture Full Page" mode, which auto-scrolls and stitches the entire page into one image.
Does Capture Full Page work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. Capture Full Page is a Chrome extension that works on any operating system — Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS. Unlike Snipping Tool (Windows-only), it provides the same experience everywhere Chrome runs.
Can I use keyboard shortcuts like Snipping Tool?
Yes. You can assign custom keyboard shortcuts to Capture Full Page via chrome://extensions/shortcuts. For example, assign Alt+Shift+A for area selection — similar to Win+Shift+S for Snipping Tool but capturing web content only. See our keyboard shortcut guide.
