Under the hood
FullPagePDF uses browser APIs to scroll through the page, wait for content to load, and assemble the result into a PDF — all locally.
Multi-Scroll Area Detection
Scans and captures all scrollable areas on a page, including nested scroll containers. Content inside iframes is not captured due to browser security restrictions.
Dynamic Content Handling
Waits for lazy-loaded images, infinite scroll content, and JavaScript-rendered elements to load before capturing.
Configurable Capture Limits
Default 30,000 x 10,000 px capture area, expandable to 100,000 x 100,000 px through settings.
Local Processing
All capture and PDF generation happens in your browser. No data is sent to external servers.
