Full-page web captures (GoFullPage): name them by the page

Full-page capture files hide the page and the time in one long code. How to read them, where to keep them, and how Kempt names each by its page and day.

In short

Full-page capture tools such as the GoFullPage browser extension save files named after the page’s address and the exact time, for example “gofullpage-developer-apple-account-2026-10-16-18_05_50.png”.Everything is in the name, just hard to read. Kempt reads the page from the file’s own name and the day it was captured, renames it “Developer Apple Account 16 October 2026” and files it with your screenshots, on your Mac.

Without any app

  1. Capture the whole page

    In Chrome, the GoFullPage extension scrolls and stitches a page into one image or PDF. Chrome’s Developer Tools also has a “Capture full size screenshot” command, and in Safari, File › Export as PDF saves the whole page.

  2. Decide where they download

    Captures land in Downloads unless your browser asks where to save. If you capture often, set a folder for them in the browser’s download settings.

  3. Read the name before renaming

    The file name already holds the site, the page and the date: keep those words, drop IDs and the time, and put the date first if you sort by name.

  4. Keep captures apart from documents

    A capture of an invoice page is still a picture of a page. If you need the invoice itself, download the PDF the site provides.

With Kempt

  1. 1

    Named by the page the file states

    “gofullpage-developer-apple-account-2026-10-16-18_05_50.png” becomes “Developer Apple Account 16 October 2026”, and a “screencapture-search-google-search-console-…” file becomes “Google Search Console …” with its day. IDs and hosting words are dropped, and a repeated product name is kept once.

  2. 2

    Dated by the day captured

    The date comes from the capture’s own name, so several captures of one page stay apart and in order. On the maker’s Mac, all 123 full-page captures in Downloads are now named by their page.

  3. 3

    Filed with your screenshots, undoable

    Captures go to the Screenshots folder. Every rename is listed in Activity with Undo, and nothing leaves your Mac.

Questions people ask

How does GoFullPage name its files?

With the page’s address and the time of capture, which makes names long and hard to scan in Finder.

Where do full-page captures go on a Mac?

To your browser’s download folder, usually Downloads.

PNG or PDF for a full-page capture?

PNG keeps the page as one image, handy as a record of what a page showed; PDF is easier to print and to send.

Can I search inside a full-page capture?

Kempt reads the words on the captures it names, so Ask finds them by what the page said. Spotlight can also find text in some images with Live Text.

Do I need the capture extension for Kempt to name them?

No. Kempt reads the file the tool saved, including captures made on another Mac and copied over.
