Snipping Tool – build in your Windows ready to use to screenshot your page.
Pros:

- Good editing feature
Cons:

Nimbus – this is my option if I need to capture long web pages. This is a plugin for Chrome and Firefox that has the best feature I’ve been using.
Pros:
- Option to scroll and capture long pages
- Ruler function
- Video recording feature inside the page you are browsing
- Good editing option for images
- Can save or upload to the cloud your screengrab
