Full page screenshot in Safari

Is there a way to take a screenshot of the entire page, not just what's visible in the window, in Safari? This would typically involve the ability to scroll while taking the screenshot. I cannot find how to do this unless using a 3rd party app. Thanks

Here is a solution that does not require the use of third-party applications.

Step 1:

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage.
Show Reader View if available and preferred.
From the menu bar, select File > Export as PDF > [Location] > Save.

Alternatively, this can also be done on an iPhone.

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage.
Show Reader View if available and preferred.
Take a screenshot, then tap on the thumbnail to edit.
Tap Full Page > Done > Save PDF to Files > [Location] > Save.
Share the PDF file with your Mac using AirDrop, iCloud Drive, or another method.

Step 2:

Open the PDF file in Preview.
Select File > Export > [Location] and Format: HEIC/JPEG/PNG > Save.

Safari 14 does no have a image-based screen capture for the entire web page.

You can print, or export the page content to PDF, or if it is indicated as a Safari Reader page, then choose that, so you will have a reformatted page without advertisements to export to PDF.
