There are several ways to take a screenshot in Windows. It is more difficult when you want to take screenshots of entire sites, so of a web page that is longer than the height of your screen. And yet there are great solutions to take a scrolling screenshot.
In Firefox
Since the Quantum version of Firefox, that browser has a tool to capture a scrolling screenshot. This makes Firefox the only browser that offers this function, without the need for a separate extension.
Click the menu icon in the top right corner (the button with the three dashes), go to More tools and then to Customize Toolbar†Search in the offered icons for the icon Screenshot and drag it to the Firefox toolbar. Now you can surf to the page you want to capture.
Click on the new screenshot icon and choose the option Save full page†This will bring up a preview of the full page that you can save somewhere on your PC.

In Chrome
In Chrome you have to install an extension. In the Chrome Webshop you look for the extension GoFullPage†Once you have the Chrome extension installed, click the GoFullPage icon in the top right corner of the browser.
If you don’t see that button right away, click on the puzzle piece: in the list of extensions that opens, you will find the GoFullPage icon. You can click the pin next to it to permanently pin it to the browser bar. As soon as you click the new button, the entire webpage will be converted into a screenshot.
Or try PicPick
Finally there is PicPick, Windows software that you can use for free for personal use. This freeware has seven screen capture modes: full screen, active window, window part, scrolling window, range, fixed range, and freehand.
