Public problem

Firecrawl fullPage screenshots randomly capture only the top of the page

Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown

Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated

Full-page screenshots via the Firecrawl /scrape endpoint fail randomly: with formats: [{type: "screenshot", fullPage: true}], some pages capture only the hero section at the top, or render a full-height image with the bottom half blank. waitFor, scroll actions, and End/Home key presses do not fix it, and the affected pages cut off at the exact same vertical position each time.

This was a Firecrawl-side rendering bug in how the headless browser captured full-page screenshots, not something scroll/wait params could work around. The team rebuilt their internal screenshot handling and the reporter confirmed after testing: full-page screenshots on previously broken pages were now working. If you hit truncated full-page screenshots, retry against the latest build.
