FireShot and NeoReader: the short version
FireShot has been capturing full web pages for years, and plenty of people still add FireShot to Chrome or Firefox for exactly that. It has a free version and a paid Pro version with extra features. Check its current listing for what each version includes.
NeoReader Full Page Screenshot is an independent extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by FireShot. It captures entire web pages too, and keeps the editor, blur tool and PDF export in the free version, with no account and no upgrade prompts.
What you get with NeoReader Full Page Screenshot
- Capture the entire scrolling page, the visible part, or a dragged area.
- Sticky headers are handled so they appear once, not on every screen of the image.
- Editor: crop, arrows, boxes, highlighter, text and emoji.
- A pixel blur for emails, names and account numbers that cannot be reversed.
- Save PNG, JPG or PDF, or copy to the clipboard.
- Keyboard shortcuts for each capture mode.
- Private by default: nothing is kept once you close the editor.
How to take full web page screenshots in Chrome with NeoReader
- Add NeoReader Full Page Screenshot from your browser's extension store.
- Pin it to the toolbar next to, or instead of, the FireShot icon.
- Open the page and scroll once to the bottom so late-loading images appear.
- Click the icon or press the shortcut and choose full page.
- Edit if needed, then save as PNG, JPG or PDF.
Windows, Mac and Firefox
Because it is a browser extension, NeoReader works the same on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. There is no separate desktop app to install and nothing to update outside your browser.
Firefox users have two routes. Firefox has its own screenshot tool: right-click the page, choose Take Screenshot, then Save full page. It is fine for a quick image. The NeoReader extension adds the editor, blur and PDF export, and gives you the same tool in Chrome and Edge if you switch browsers during the day.
Which one should you choose, and what to check
If FireShot already does what you need, and you are happy with its free or Pro version, there is no pressing reason to move. It is an established tool.
If you want the editing and PDF features without a paid tier, or you want screenshots kept on your device and never sent to our servers, NeoReader is worth a try. Install it alongside, capture the same page with both and keep the one you prefer.
Whichever you pick, check these points first:
- Whether sticky headers repeat down the image or appear once.
- Whether images further down the page load before the capture.
- Which export formats are free: PNG, JPG, PDF, clipboard.
- Whether editing and blur are included or part of a paid tier.
- Where screenshots go: kept on your device, or sent to a server.
- Which browsers it supports, if you use more than one.
