Step-by-Step Guide: How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on Chromebook
Taking a scrolling screenshot on a Chromebook is an easy process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of taking a scrolling screenshot on your Chromebook.
Step 1: Open the page or document you want to take a scrolling screenshot of.
Step 2: Press and hold down the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys at the same time. The Window Switcher key is usually located in between the “Alt” and “Backspace” keys, but may vary depending on your device model.
Step 3: While still holding down both keys, press the “F5” key once to capture your entire screen or press it twice to capture only part of your screen. If you choose to capture only part of your screen, use your mouse cursor to select which area you would like captured before releasing all three keys.
Step 4: Once all three keys have been released, an image file will be saved in either .png or .jpg format in your Downloads folder with today’s date as its name (e.g., “Screenshot_2021-04-15”). You can now open this file and view it as needed!
Tips and Tricks for Taking the Perfect Scrolling Screenshot on Chromebook

Once it’s finished, you can save or share your screenshot as usual by clicking on “Save As” or “Share” in the bottom right corner of this window.
