On this page
Three ways to capture a visual snapshot of a page. Snap, Full page, and Region are all free. Studio (which lets you mark up a screenshot before saving) is free too — most annotation tools are included, with a few Pro-only tools and style presets.
Snap
Free
Captures exactly what's currently visible on screen. Instant, no scrolling.
From the toolbar: Click Snap in the Instant zone. Saves immediately, orb confirms.
From the side panel: Click + → Snap. The screenshot chip appears in the attachment row. Add other blocks or edit the title before saving.
What lands in Notion: One image block containing the viewport screenshot.
Full page
Free
Scrolls the page in strips, stitches the result into one tall image, and uploads it to Notion.
From the toolbar: Click Full page in the Instant zone. The toolbar hides briefly during capture, then reappears.
From the side panel: Click + → Full page.
Note: You will see the page scroll briefly during capture. This is expected. The toolbar disappears while the screenshot is being taken, then comes back automatically.
What lands in Notion: One image block containing the full-page composite. Pages taller than 15,000 px are captured up to that height.
Limitations:
- Fixed or sticky headers and footers may appear repeated across strips. This is a browser constraint.
- Lazy-loaded images that haven't rendered yet may appear blank in the captured image.
Region
Free
Draw a rectangle on the page to capture exactly the area you need. No cropping after the fact.
From the toolbar: Click Region (dashed rectangle icon) → a dim overlay appears → drag to select the area. On release, three buttons appear: Clean (Pro, hide, delete, or edit page elements before capturing), Annotate (open Studio first), or Capture (save immediately).
From the side panel: Click + → Region → drag → release.
Press Escape to cancel without capturing.
Clean, Annotate, and Capture can be combined. After Capture or Download, Filed keeps your edits live for a few seconds so you can also download or annotate the same cleaned screenshot without starting over. The status message under the toolbar shows what's still available.
Save your style as a preset (Pro). In Studio's Properties panel, "Save as preset" remembers your background, shadow, and browser-frame styling so you can reapply it to future screenshots in one click. Presets are personal, not tied to a specific workflow.
What lands in Notion: One image block containing the selected region.
Minimum region size: 10×10 px. Selections smaller than this are ignored.
Common limitations
- Not available on
chrome://pages, the Chrome Web Store, or the PDF viewer. Chrome restricts extension access there. - Screenshots are not queued. If the Notion page creation fails after the screenshot is taken, the image is discarded. Retrying from History will not re-take the screenshot.
Studio
Free (a few tools and style presets require Pro)
Mark up any screenshot before saving it to Notion. Add context, label steps, redact sensitive data.
How to use:
- Take any screenshot (Snap, Full page, or Region): the chip appears in the side panel
- Hover the chip → click Edit
- Studio opens fullscreen over the current page
- Annotate using the toolbar at the bottom
- Click Done to apply: the edited image replaces the original chip
- Click Save in the side panel to send to Notion
