Why Take a Full Page Screenshot?

There are several reasons why someone might want to take a full page screenshot. For one, it allows you to capture the entire visible content of a web page, rather than just a portion of it. This can be useful for creating visual references, documenting information, or sharing information with others.

Another benefit of taking a full page screenshot is that it allows you to see the entire layout of a web page, including any elements that might be hidden by scrolling. This can be particularly useful for website designers, developers, and marketers, who need to understand how their pages are being viewed by users.
