Chrome: Making high-resolution website screenshots without add-ons

If you want to make a screenshot of a website that works well in print or on a high-DPI screen (like Apple Retina displays), here is how you can capture a high-resolution screenshot.

You can do this without an addon:

• Open the website
• If you have multiple monitoros:
  • Resize the Chrome window so it covers multiple monitors (in Linux you can hold ALT and resize by dragging with the right mouse button)
  • Zoom into the page using CTRL + and CTRL - so it covers most of the window area. Leave a little padding on the left and right so it looks good.
• If you only have single screen:
  • Open the responsive view ("device toolbar" - CTRL SHIFT M)
  • Set a small zoom (e.g. 25%) with a viewport that covers the width of your physical screen
• Open developer tools (CTRL SHIFT J)
• Open developer tools action bar (CTRL SHIFT P)
• Quicksearch for the action "Capture full size screenshot"
• A few seconds after selecting the action, a file picker will ask you where to save the PNG.
