Safari is a wonderful browser that allows you to browse the internet with minimal distractions. It even allows you to take full-page screenshots of webpages, documents, or emails that exceed your iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max screen, allowing you to save these long files as a PDF.
Unfortunately, full-page screenshots don’t always work how they’re supposed to. But we’ll show you how to fix that below.
How to Take a Full-Page Screenshot
To take a full-page, scrolling screenshot of a webpage, take a screenshot as you normally would while on Safari, then tap the preview and select Full Page at the top. You can then choose Save PDF to Files or the Share icon to send it elsewhere.
What to Do When Full-Page Screenshots Aren’t Working
Try these tips if you can’t take full-page screenshots in Safari on your iPhone 18 Pro Max.
1. Make Sure You’re in Safari
There are times that, depending on what you’re browsing, Safari will redirect you to another built-in app, like Apple Books, Files, or Messages.
2. Remove Safari From Any Home Screen Folders
If your Safari is grouped with other apps in a folder on your Home Screen, first remove Safari from the folder and just place it somewhere on the Home Screen itself. Then launch the app and try to take a screenshot. You should see the Full-Page option again.
However, if you don’t like a cluttered Home Screen, you can also launch Safari from the App Library.
Take Screenshots Again
Full-page screenshots are a handy way to save whole web pages for later offline reading or other purposes. With these easy troubleshooting tips, you can make use of this simple hack again.
