Full-page screenshots without a browser extension

You don't need to install anything to screenshot an entire webpage. Paste the URL below and SnapMySite renders the full page on its own servers and emails you the capture as a PNG and PDF. Works in any browser, on any device, with zero permissions on your machine.

The case against extensions

Screenshot extensions are fine until they aren't. They only exist on the one desktop browser you installed them in. Most ask for the broadest permission a browser offers: "read and change all your data on all websites". More than one popular screenshot extension has been quietly sold and re-shipped with tracking or adware. And on the machines where you most often need a capture, like a locked-down work laptop, a school computer or your phone, you can't install them at all.

A cloud capture inverts all of that: the browser doing the screenshot runs on our servers, so your device installs nothing, grants nothing, and can be anything with a web browser.
