Most pages capture cleanly on the first try. When one doesn't, it is usually one of these.

  1. 1

    Step 1 of 5

    A header or banner repeats

    Fixed and sticky parts are kept once at the top by default. If a site still repeats one, change how floating parts are handled in Options and capture again.

  2. 2

    Step 2 of 5

    Pictures are blank or blurry

    The site loads pictures only as you scroll. Scroll to the bottom and back to the top, wait a moment, then capture.

  3. 3

    Step 3 of 5

    Only the first screen of an app came out

    The app scrolls inside a panel. Click inside the part you want, then capture again so the extension scrolls that panel.

  4. 4

    Step 4 of 5

    “This page is protected by the browser”

    Settings pages, the extensions page, add-on stores and new tab pages can't be captured by any extension.

  5. 5

    Step 5 of 5

    The capture stops partway

    Very long pages stop at the height limit (40,000 pixels by default). Raise it in Options, or capture the page in parts with a selection.

That's it. You're done.
