Screenshots & Capture
The Screenshot tool captures your current tab in three modes: visible viewport, full page, or a custom selection. All captures run entirely in the browser — nothing is uploaded or stored remotely.
Capture Modes
Visible Viewport Captures exactly what's on screen. Use this when you need a quick shot of the above-the-fold content. Results are ready in under a second.
Full Page Scrolls through the entire page and stitches the result into a single continuous image. Works best on pages with static content. For pages with infinite scroll or lazy-loaded images, scroll to load all content before capturing.
Selected Area Click and drag to draw a selection rectangle over any part of the page. Release to capture only that region. The rest of the page is excluded automatically.
Annotations
After capturing, the editor opens where you can:
- Draw rectangles, circles, and arrows
- Add text labels with adjustable font size and color
- Blur sensitive information (emails, passwords, API keys)
- Crop the image to remove unwanted edges
Annotations are applied to the exported image — they are not editable after export.
Export Options
| Format | Use Case |
|---|---|
| PNG | Best quality, larger file size |
| JPEG | Smaller file size, good for documentation |
| WebP | Modern format, small file size with good quality |
Choose Copy to clipboard to paste directly into Slack, email, or a design tool. Choose Download to save as a file.
Full-Page Capture Tips
- Open any collapsed sections or dropdowns before capturing — the tool captures the DOM as it is, not as it could be
- For best results, set your browser to a fixed viewport width (1280px) before doing a full-page capture
- Full-page capture may fail on pages with complex CSS transforms or canvas-heavy content; use viewport capture instead

Privacy
No screenshot data — captured images, annotations, or preview thumbnails — ever leaves your browser. The entire capture and editing pipeline runs client-side.
