How can I take a screen shot of an entire website?
Of course using "cmd -" to reduce the screen size and then using "cmd shift 4" is not enough.
I know there are 3rd party apps like snagit, capto and paparazzi or others as chrome extensions, but I would like a quick shortcut in mac (or in Safari). Do you know if it exists?
Many thanks,
Riccardo

Firefox 62.0 will allow you to take a screenshot (click the elipsis to the left of the save to pocket button) of the entire website as an elongated, reduced size .png image. Safari does not have this capability. Never has had it. Use the tool that gets the job done, which in this case, is not Safari — unless exporting/printing to PDF.
There are package manager (e.g homebrew) installed command-line tools (e.g. wkhtmltopdf) that given the website URL, will generate a multi-page PDF of the entire page contents.

hi eric,
thanks but "cmd ctrl F" doesn't help at all, as I said the only solution is "cmd -" first and "cmd shift 3/4" second, but there are website so long that that solution doesn't work.
As I said I need as Apple shortcut on Safari a solution already provided by chrome Extensions.
It is even possible to capture a full sized screenshot without a browser extension.
– Open DevTools in Chrome (OPTION + CMD + I)
– Open the Command Menu (CMD + SHIFT + P) and type in “screenshot”
– Select one of the two options “Capture full size screenshot” of “Capture screenshot”.
anyway, on this website you will understand what I look for:

No, that just captures a full screen, not anything from the same page above or below the scrolled window.
Print to PDF works, but uses any print specific CSS the page design includes, so might not look exactly that same as the screen.

Thanks everyone,
my question was if there were a built-in shortcut, it seems no one knows it and probably it doesn't exist, so it's ok, I'll go for a plugin.
Cheers
Looks like you'll need an extension then. I've just tried Full Page Screen Capture - Chrome Web Store for Chrome which seems to do the trick.

But thanks
If you put Safari in the full screen mode (command - control - F), does command - shift - 3 work?
You can use Feedback - Safari - Apple to suggest that Apple introduce a native feature for this in Safari.

thanks tt2,
it's a good idea and I always use print and then save as PDF, or directly Export as PDF but for other purposes.
what I need now is a picture already framed, not to convert a PDF to png or jpg and then crop.
but thanks for trying
it's a great idea, they should
thanks VikingOSX
You could potentially try printing the page to PDF, which might also prove more useful than a very tall and narrow image when you want to review it later.
