How to Capture Multiple Webpages with FireShot
Capture open tabs or a URL list with FireShot, choose image or PDF output, and troubleshoot batch captures. See when an API is easier to automate.
FireShot offers two ways to capture multiple webpages: use Capture all tabs… for pages already open in your browser, or Capture list of URLs… to process a prepared list of addresses. You can save captures as images or PDF, depending on the workflow and installed edition. FireShot’s current onboarding page presents full-page batch capture and saving all tabs into one PDF as Pro features.

Choose the right FireShot workflow
| Your starting point | Use this command | Typical result |
|---|---|---|
| The webpages are already open in browser tabs | Capture all tabs… | Separate captures saved to the configured folder; a combined PDF may be available in the installed edition. |
| You have a list of addresses to process | Capture list of URLs… | A batch of webpage captures, saved as images or PDF according to the options available. |
Use the tabs workflow when the pages are already loaded or prepared in the browser. Use the URL-list workflow when you have addresses to process as a batch. FireShot’s documentation does not publish a maximum batch size or guarantee that every dynamic page will capture successfully, so try a small batch first for important work.
Capture webpages that are already open
- Open each webpage you want to capture in a browser tab.
- Open the FireShot menu.
- Select Capture all tabs….
- When prompted, choose the destination or other available save options.
- Review the saved files. Depending on your edition and options, save captures separately or combine them into a PDF.
FireShot’s official demo says this command automatically captures all open browser tabs and saves the screenshots to the specified folder. The exact dialog and available output choices can vary by browser and edition. [Official all-tabs demo]
Capture a list of URLs
- Open the FireShot menu and choose Capture list of URLs….
- Enter the webpage addresses you want to capture.
- Set the additional options shown by your installed version, including output format and destination where available.
- Start the batch and let FireShot open and capture the addresses.
- Check the resulting images or PDF to confirm that each page loaded and the intended content appears.
FireShot’s official demo describes this workflow as providing a list of website URLs to convert to screenshots, then setting additional options. Its onboarding example describes saving pages individually or combining them into one PDF. [Official URL-list demo; Onboarding details]
Choose image files or PDF
FireShot’s product page lists PDF, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and BMP among its overall save formats. The Mozilla listing mentions automatic capture of all tabs to PDF or image and URL-list batch capture. The current onboarding example names PDF, PNG, and JPEG for batch results. These lists describe the product broadly; do not assume every format or multi-page option is available in every browser or edition. Check the options in your installed version. [FireShot product page; Mozilla Add-ons listing; FireShot onboarding]
- Separate image files: useful when each page needs to be reviewed, shared, or processed on its own.
- One PDF: useful for a paginated collection or document-style handoff, if your edition offers the option.
Edition, browser, and compatibility notes
FireShot’s current onboarding page identifies full-page batch capture of multiple URLs and saving all tabs into one PDF as Pro features; it describes the basic extension as free. The same page lists support for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Tor, Opera, Brave, SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, Yandex, Vivaldi, and other Chromium- or Mozilla-based browsers. These are vendor-stated details, and product plans can change. Check the live product page and the installed extension before relying on a specific feature or price. [FireShot onboarding]
The Mozilla listing currently describes Firefox extension version 1.12.18, last updated June 5, 2023, and notes that FireShot v2 features were rolling out through the vendor site when its listing text was maintained. Store details can lag the vendor’s current version. [Mozilla Add-ons listing]
The onboarding page currently shows $39.95 per year and says monthly subscription, annual subscription, and lifetime-license choices are available. Treat this as time-sensitive: check the live page for current pricing and plan terms before buying. [FireShot onboarding and pricing]
Troubleshooting batch captures
| What you see | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| A tab or URL is missing from the output | The page did not finish loading, or a batch item failed. | Run a small batch and verify each result. For the tabs workflow, confirm every intended page is open before selecting Capture all tabs…. For a URL list, check each address. |
| A capture is blank or incomplete | The page may depend on delayed or dynamic content, or it may not have finished rendering. | Open the page directly, wait for its content to appear, then retry. Review the output rather than assuming every dynamic page will capture. |
| The PDF or image option is absent | Output options vary by workflow, browser, and edition. | Check the installed version’s available options and the current FireShot feature page. Some batch or PDF features are presented as Pro capabilities. |
| The combined PDF option is missing | The installed edition or workflow may not include merging captures. | Check whether the current edition supports saving all tabs into one PDF; otherwise save individual outputs if that option is available. |
| The extension’s menus do not match the instructions | The store version or browser build may differ from the current vendor version. | Consult the vendor’s current demos and onboarding page, then check the extension version shown in your browser. |
Performance, reliability, and cost
Batch size, capture speed, and success rate depend on the pages and browser conditions. The reviewed FireShot materials do not specify a maximum number of URLs or tabs, a guaranteed processing time, or universal compatibility with dynamic pages. For a critical batch, start with a few representative pages, inspect their output, and then process the rest. Keep the browser available while the extension is opening and capturing pages.
The basic extension is described as free, while full-page batch capture and saving all tabs into one PDF are presented as Pro features. The displayed Pro price and available license types can change, so verify the current terms before purchasing. [FireShot onboarding]
Or skip the browser setup
If you need repeatable captures from a script, API, or AI agent, ScreenshotNeo provides a website screenshot API and MCP server. Its API accepts one GET request with a URL and can return PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation.
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webpimport requests
r = requests.get("https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot", params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"}, timeout=90)
open("shot.webp", "wb").write(r.content)const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);ScreenshotNeo removes cookie banners, popups, and chat widgets before the shot. Bot checks, blank pages, and failed loads are never billed. Its MCP server lets AI agents take screenshots, and 1,000 screenshots a month are free with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000. Learn about ScreenshotNeo, or sign up for 1,000 free screenshots a month with no card.
