The short answer

GoFullPage alternative with a free editor: GoFullPage captures full pages free and exports PNG, JPEG or PDF, without asking for extra permissions; its crop-and-annotate editor is Premium. ScreenSnap, our free Chrome extension, adds region, element, whole-screen and all-tabs capture, a free editor with blur, and OCR in 16 languages. It asks for more permissions and sends anonymous usage stats (you can turn them off).

GoFullPage, with 11 million Chrome users, is the classic full-page screenshot extension: one click, it scrolls the page, and you download the result as an image or PDF. Cropping and annotating are in its Premium editor. ScreenSnap does full pages too, and puts the other capture modes and the editor in the free version.

When to pick GoFullPage instead

Pick GoFullPage if…

  • You only need full-page captures and want the fewest permissions and no data sent: GoFullPage requests no extra permissions and declares it collects none of your data.
  • You capture pages with scrolling panels or embedded frames: GoFullPage's listing says it handles both.
  • You want everything inside the extension: ScreenSnap's editor is a page of oneclickpdf.net and needs a connection.

Why pick ScreenSnap

  • Six capture modes: visible tab, full page, region, element, whole screen, and all tabs in the window (a ZIP of images or one PDF).
  • Free editor: arrows, shapes, text, blur, redact, highlighter, spotlight, number badges, emoji, crop and backdrops, with 50-step undo.
  • OCR in 16 languages, with table detection and CSV export.
  • PDF export with A4, Letter or fit-to-image pages, portrait or landscape, and margins.
  • Delayed capture (3, 5 or 10 seconds) or scheduled (1, 2 or 5 minutes).

Why people look for a GoFullPage alternative

  • Cropping, annotating and emoji are in the Premium editor.
  • Its listing describes full-page capture only; region, element, whole-screen and all-tabs capture aren't listed.
  • No OCR or blur tool is listed.

GoFullPage does one job very well and asks for almost nothing: no extra permissions, no data collected, a free PDF export in several paper sizes. If that's all you need, it's hard to beat.

ScreenSnap is for when the capture is only the start. It also captures a region, a single element, the whole screen or every tab in the window; opens an editor with arrows, text, blur and redaction, free; reads text from the screenshot (OCR in 16 languages); and exports a PDF sized and laid out the way you choose. The trade-offs: it needs more permissions to do those captures, its editor and OCR load from oneclickpdf.net, and it sends anonymous usage stats unless you turn them off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best free alternative to GoFullPage?
If you want a free editor and more capture modes, ScreenSnap: full page, region, element, whole screen and all tabs, an editor with blur and annotations, OCR and PDF export, all free. If you only need full pages with the fewest permissions, GoFullPage itself is the simpler choice.
Is GoFullPage free?
Its full-page capture and export to PNG, JPEG or PDF are free; the editor (crop, annotate, emoji) is Premium, according to its Chrome Web Store listing (October 2026).
Can GoFullPage save as PDF?
Yes. Its listing says you can export to PNG, JPEG or various PDF paper sizes. ScreenSnap's PDF export adds portrait or landscape and margins, and can combine all tabs into one PDF.
Does ScreenSnap upload my screenshots?
No. Screenshots are captured and edited in your browser and saved to your device; they aren't uploaded. The editor and OCR open as a page of oneclickpdf.net, so they need a connection. ScreenSnap sends anonymous usage stats to Google Analytics (which features are used, never screenshots or page content), on by default; you can switch them off in the popup.
Why does ScreenSnap need more permissions than GoFullPage?
Because it does more: it copies captures to your clipboard and saves them to your Downloads folder, which are the two warnings Chrome shows when you install it (from version 1.4.0). Access to every site, for All Tabs, and to your screen, for Whole Screen, are asked for only the first time you use those, and you can say no. Nothing is injected into a page until you start a capture.
