## Description

Page Saver WE is a versatile screenshot capture tool designed for effortless webpage image saving. It allows you to quickly capture either the entire webpage or just the visible area and save the image as PNG or JPEG formats. The extension provides flexible options including file naming patterns and optional headers and footers, giving you control over the output.

Accessible via a toolbar camera icon or keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+I on Linux/Windows, ⌘+Shift+I on macOS), Page Saver WE enables seamless capture and saving or copying to clipboard. Note that due to Firefox restrictions, internal Firefox pages and Mozilla hosted pages cannot be captured. For support, users can directly contact the developers via email.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise Page Saver WE as a free, user-friendly tool capable of handling very large or whole-page screenshots with fewer artifacts than rivals. It’s valued for archiving work, offering a header and footer with URL and timestamp. However, recurring issues temper enthusiasm: full-page captures often fail or produce corrupt/stitched images; image size and quality can regress (including a reported 2x output size after an update); hotkeys and quick-access toolbar shortcuts are missing; the toolbar icon may disappear; and some pages (browser internals, dropdowns, SPAs) cannot be captured. Despite these, many consider it among the best Firefox screenshot tools.

### Pros

- Excellent handling of very large or long screenshots, including full-page captures, with minimal artifacts.
- Free and feature-rich; widely praised as one of the best screenshot extensions for Firefox.
- Header and footer metadata (URL and timestamp) make saved pages easy to archive.
- User-friendly and trusted by long-time users; reliable performance.
- Produces clean results with fewer scrolling artifacts and avoids cluttered captures compared to some rivals.

### Cons

- Full-page captures often fail or produce corrupt or incomplete images; long pages can be problematic.
- Output size/quality inconsistencies after updates (e.g., 2x image size issue) and segmentation lines.
- Lacks keyboard shortcuts and quick-access options; no easy one-click capture on the extension icon.
- Toolbar icon can disappear or be missing, reducing quick access.
- Page/browser-internal restrictions prevent capturing certain pages (dropdowns, SPAs, internal pages).
