FireShot vs GoFullPage

Our picks

  1. GoFullPage

    Capture a full-page screenshot in one click.

    Freemium Screenshots & Recording ✓ No account needed

Both FireShot and GoFullPage capture an entire web page, including content below the fold that a normal screenshot misses. The difference is what happens after the capture: one focuses on a fast, simple export, and the other adds an editor for marking up the image before you save it.

Full-page capture: how each one works

Both extensions scroll the page automatically and stitch the visible sections into one image, so you don't need to take several screenshots and merge them. GoFullPage runs the capture and offers PNG or PDF export immediately. FireShot captures the page and opens it in its own preview screen before you export or edit it.

Editing and annotation tools

FireShot includes basic editing: cropping, adding text, arrows and highlights directly on the captured image before you save it. GoFullPage keeps the flow simpler, with capture and export as the main steps and no built-in annotation tools, so you would edit the image in a separate app afterward.

Exporting and saving your screenshot

GoFullPage exports to PNG or PDF and can copy the image straight to your clipboard. FireShot supports saving as an image or PDF, printing the page, and in some versions uploading directly, giving you more output options once you've finished editing.

FireShot vs GoFullPage: FAQs

Which is better, FireShot or GoFullPage?

GoFullPage is faster for a simple full-page capture and export. FireShot is better if you want to annotate the screenshot with text or arrows before saving, so the right choice depends on whether you need editing tools.

Does GoFullPage capture the whole page automatically?

Yes. GoFullPage scrolls the page and stitches every section into a single image automatically, so you don't need to scroll manually or take multiple screenshots.

Can FireShot edit screenshots after capturing them?

Yes. FireShot opens a preview screen with cropping, text, arrows and highlight tools, letting you mark up the image before exporting it as a file or PDF.

Do FireShot and GoFullPage export to PDF?

Both extensions support exporting a captured page as a PDF in addition to an image file, which is useful for saving long articles or documentation pages to read later.

Are FireShot and GoFullPage free Chrome extensions?

Both are freemium: the core full-page capture works without payment, and some advanced features or higher usage limits may sit behind a paid plan.

Can I copy a full-page screenshot straight to the clipboard?

GoFullPage typically offers a copy-to-clipboard option after capture. FireShot's clipboard support varies by version, so check the current options in the extension's popup menu.

Do these extensions capture pages with lazy-loaded images?

Both generally handle lazy-loaded content by scrolling through the page before capturing, but very complex pages with delayed loading can sometimes render incompletely, so it's worth checking the result.

Which extension is better for developers documenting a website?

FireShot suits developers who want to annotate captures with notes or highlights for bug reports. GoFullPage suits quick, unedited captures for records or sharing.

Do FireShot or GoFullPage work in Microsoft Edge?

Both are available for Chromium-based browsers including Microsoft Edge, since they use the same extension platform as Chrome. Check each extension's store listing for exact compatibility.

Is there a screenshot extension without any editing features at all?

GoFullPage is the closer fit if you want capture and export without an editor. If you need zero extra features, a plain screenshot tool built into the browser is another option, though it won't capture full pages.

Can FireShot or GoFullPage capture just part of a page?

Both are built around full-page capture, but many versions also offer a visible-area or selected-region option in the popup menu alongside the full-page capture button.
