4. Use the Edge browser

The edge browser is a browser that comes with Windows System, so it can be regarded as a built-in screenshot tool, but it has limitations. It can only intercept the content of the edge browser webpage, and cannot intercept other windows and desktop content. However, it has a powerful function, which can intercept long pictures of web pages.

You can right-click the blank space of the webpage that needs to be captured, find Web capture, and then select the Capture area or Capture full page according to your needs.
