GoFullPage is gone. Here is what to use instead.

If you went looking for GoFullPage and could not find it, you are not imagining things. Its Chrome Web Store listing is no longer available. Here is what we can actually verify, what it means for the copy you may still have installed, and the options that work today, including one that needs no extension at all.

What we know, and what we do not

The GoFullPage listing no longer resolves in the Chrome Web Store. We check it automatically every twelve hours and it has been unavailable on every check since we started monitoring on 15 August 2026.

We are not going to tell you why. Google has not published a reason, and guessing at another developer's situation would be inventing facts. If the listing returns, this page will say so.

If it still works for you, that is normal. An extension disappearing from the store does not necessarily uninstall it from your browser. What you lose immediately is the ability to reinstall it, put it on a new machine, or receive updates. That is the real problem: you are now one new laptop away from not having it.

Option 1: Chrome can already do this, for free

Before installing anything, know that Chrome has a built-in full-page capture. It is buried, but it is free, needs no extension, and nothing leaves your machine.

  1. Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac) to open DevTools.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac) for the command menu.
  3. Type screenshot and choose Capture full size screenshot.

It is genuinely good for a quick one-off. Where it falls down: it saves a PNG and only a PNG, there is no cropping, no PDF, no clipboard, no keyboard shortcut worth the name, and it struggles on pages with sticky headers, which repeat down the image. If you capture pages occasionally, stop here. You do not need us.

Option 2: Shotfold

We built Shotfold because the replacements we found after GoFullPage vanished mostly wanted an account, or uploaded the capture to a server first. For a tool whose entire job is photographing whatever is on your screen, including your email, your dashboards and your bank, that felt like the wrong trade.

Shotfold makes zero network requests. Not "we do not sell your data" in a privacy policy: no requests at all. You can disconnect from the internet and every feature still works. There is no server for your screenshots to sit on because there is no server.

Being straight about the limits

Two things it will not do, so you do not find out the annoying way:

How to switch

  1. Install Shotfold from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Pin it to your toolbar so it sits where GoFullPage used to.
  3. Optional: set the same keyboard shortcut you had before at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Nothing to migrate. Old screenshots are files on your disk and are unaffected.

Free, no account, nothing uploaded

Full-page capture with crop, PDF export and clipboard copy. Works offline, because it never needed the network to begin with.
