How to take a full page screenshot without repeating sticky headers

Turn on Remove repeating sticky headers in Capture Pro ($10/month or $100/year). Fixed and sticky bars, banners and buttons then appear once instead of repeating down the whole image. On the free plan, a larger overlap between frames or picking the inner scrolling element usually avoids them.

A full page screenshot is many shots stitched together. A header that stays fixed at the top of the window is in every shot, so it repeats down the image.

Step by step

Full page screenshots without repeating sticky headers

  1. Open the side panel

    Add Capture from the Chrome Web Store, then click its icon in the toolbar to open the side panel.

  2. Turn on Remove repeating sticky headers

    Open Capture settings in the side panel and turn on Remove repeating sticky headers. It's a Pro feature.

  3. Press Full page

    Capture scrolls the page and stitches it into one image, with fixed and sticky bars, banners and buttons shown once.

  4. Save or edit it

    Click Download to save the capture as a PNG. With Capture Pro, click Edit to crop it, add arrows, boxes or text, or blur private details first.

  • Free: raise Overlap in Capture settings. A larger overlap between frames usually avoids repeating headers.
  • Free: if the content scrolls inside the page, choose Scrolling area and click it. Only that element is captured, without the header around it.

Questions and answers

Why do sticky headers repeat in full page screenshots?

A full page screenshot is many shots stitched together. A header, banner or button that stays fixed on screen is in every shot, so it shows up again and again down the image.

Is removing sticky headers free?

No, it's part of Capture Pro, $10/month or $100/year. On the free plan, a larger overlap between frames or picking the inner scrolling element usually avoids repeating headers.

Does it work on banners and floating buttons too?

Yes. Fixed and sticky bars, banners and buttons all appear once instead of repeating down the image.
