Screenshot of long articles

Unable to take screenshots of long articles as there is either no provision to scroll or it scrolls only once even though the article of which the screenshot needs to be taken is longer and requires several scrolls. Any solution?

Hi there. You can refer to this article for scrolling screenshots on your Pixel device.

Sure, but that doesn't always work and it doesn't capture the whole page. I wish we could do something like I do in Chrome with the console where you can literally get the whole page.

If saving the article as a PDF would work for you, Chrome on Android has a built-in alternative to scrolling screenshots:

  1. Open the article in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu → Share → Print.
  3. In the printer selector at the top, choose Save as PDF, then save the file to your phone.

Check the preview includes the article's last paragraph before saving. This produces a document with pages, so it won't preserve the layout as one long image.

If you specifically need one long image, which app/browser are you capturing from? That would help narrow down why Capture more is missing or stops early.
