Does GoFullPage Work in Microsoft Edge? Setup and Limitations
Yes—GoFullPage has an official Edge extension. Learn how to install and find it, what permissions to expect, and how to capture pages without a browser extension.
Yes. GoFullPage works in Microsoft Edge and has an official listing in Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Install that edition, then look for its camera icon beside the address bar or in Edge’s Extensions menu. GoFullPage recommends keeping only one of its versions installed in a browser: installing both the Edge Add-ons and Chrome Web Store editions can cause Premium login confusion. [GoFullPage’s September 2026 update]
Install GoFullPage in Edge
- Open GoFullPage’s official Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing.
- Select Get. Review the permissions shown by Edge, then confirm Add extension.
- Find the camera icon beside the address bar. If it is not there, open Edge’s three-dot Settings and more menu, then the Extensions menu.
- To keep the icon visible, right-click it and choose Move to the toolbar.
- Open a page you want to capture and click the camera icon. The developer also documents Alt+Shift+P as a shortcut; manage extension shortcuts at
edge://extensions/shortcuts.
GoFullPage’s Edge announcement says the icon should appear next to the URL bar. Edge’s menus and extension controls can change, so if the menu labels differ, open edge://extensions/ to inspect the installed extension.
Choose the Edge listing or the Chrome Web Store version
Use the official Edge Add-ons listing when following GoFullPage’s own Edge setup guidance. Microsoft also supports installing Chrome extensions in Edge, but that route may require allowing extensions from other stores before installation. If you use that route, install only one GoFullPage edition in Edge. The developer says that with both editions installed, their icons look identical and Premium login may work for only one of them. If switching to the Edge edition, remove the Chrome-store edition first.
Microsoft’s instructions for adding extensions to Edge cover its extension controls and installation flow. Store availability and screen labels can change; start from the official listing linked above.
Permissions and limitations
GoFullPage’s permissions guide describes these behaviors. They are the developer’s explanation of its permissions, not an independent security assessment.
- Saving files: the extension requests the downloads permission to save screenshots, files from its Files page, edited screenshots, or PDFs to your computer. If you decline it, copying an image to the clipboard remains available.
- Pages with iframes: capturing iframe content can trigger a request for tabs, webNavigation, and host permissions. According to the developer, denying that prompt means the extension will not run on that page; it can still work on pages without iframes.
- Local storage: GoFullPage says screenshots are stored locally within the extension in the browser.
When a permission appears, read Edge’s prompt and decide whether the requested access fits the page and action you need. See the GoFullPage permissions guide for the developer’s descriptions.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The camera icon is missing | Edge placed the extension in its Extensions menu, or it is not pinned. | Open the three-dot menu and Extensions. Right-click the GoFullPage icon and choose Move to the toolbar. Check edge://extensions/ to confirm it is installed and enabled. |
| The shortcut does nothing | The shortcut may not be assigned or may conflict with another extension. | Open edge://extensions/shortcuts, inspect GoFullPage’s assignment, and choose a non-conflicting shortcut. |
| A screenshot or PDF will not save | Edge may not have granted the downloads permission. | Review the extension’s permissions in Edge and grant downloads access if you want it to save files. Clipboard copying is an alternative for an image. |
| Capture does not run on a page with embedded content | The page contains an iframe and the extension’s contextual permission request was denied. | Review the prompt and grant its requested access only if you are comfortable with it. The developer says capture can continue on pages without iframes when that access is denied. |
| Premium login behaves inconsistently | Both the Edge and Chrome-store editions may be installed. | Remove one edition, then reopen the remaining extension and sign in again. |
| You found an unofficial download or listing | Lookalike versions have appeared, according to GoFullPage’s update. | Use the official Edge listing linked in this guide or the developer’s official links. GoFullPage said its Chrome listing’s temporary removal was related to a copyright issue and not a security concern; that is the developer’s account, not an independent investigation. |
What the 2026 store update means for Edge users
In an update dated September 14, 2026, GoFullPage said its official Chrome extension had been restored after a temporary removal related to a copyright issue. The developer said the removal was not a security concern and advised users to install only from official links. The same update lists official Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions. This describes the developer’s statement; it does not independently establish the cause of the store dispute. [GoFullPage update]
Or skip the browser setup
If your goal is to capture a webpage from code, ScreenshotNeo is a website screenshot API and MCP server. Make one GET request for a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. Here is the cURL example:
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webpSee the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for the request options. The Python equivalent is:
import 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)And in Node.js:
const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Screenshot request failed: ${res.status}`);
await Bun.write('shot.webp', new Uint8Array(await res.arrayBuffer()));ScreenshotNeo removes cookie banners, newsletter 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. Sign up free and get 1,000 screenshots a month with no card.
FAQ
Does GoFullPage work in Edge today?
Yes. GoFullPage’s September 2026 update links to an official Edge extension listing.
Can I capture a page without granting iframe permissions?
The developer says denying the contextual request prevents GoFullPage from running on that page, while the extension continues to work on pages without iframes.
Does GoFullPage require the downloads permission?
It is needed to save files to the computer. The developer says copying an image to the clipboard remains available without it.
Should I install the Chrome extension in Edge instead?
Either installation route may be available, but GoFullPage directs Edge users to its Edge Add-ons listing and recommends keeping only one version installed.
