An analytics dashboard in a light browser window on a blue gradient, with the page address and capture date stamped below it.

Capture

Four ways to grab what you see.

Click the toolbar icon or press a shortcut. Captures keep full Retina resolution.

AltShiftA

Select Area

Drag over part of the page. The editor opens right there, on top of the page.

AltShiftS

Visible Page

Everything you can see in the tab, in one shot, with a preview to copy, save or edit.

AltShiftF

Full Page

Scrolls the page and stitches it into one image. Sticky headers show up once, not on every slice.

From the popup, or set a shortcut

Element

Pick any element or scrolling pane, like a mail thread or a chat channel, and capture all of it.

How the in-page editor works
A dashboard capture with three revenue cards numbered 1 to 3, the cards and the revenue chart spotlighted, and a red label with an arrow pointing to the chart's peak.

Redact

Hide secrets before you share.

Auto-redact reads the screenshot with local OCR and finds emails, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs, IP addresses, API keys and tokens, and URLs with secrets in them. Review the list, then cover them with solid boxes, pixelate or blur. Nothing leaves your device.

Before
The same settings page after Auto-redact: each of those values is covered by a solid black box, and the name and plan stay readable.
After Auto-redact
What it detects and how it works
The same dashboard on a laptop screen against a purple-to-pink gradient.

Beautify

Make it presentable.

Put a screenshot on a background, round the corners, add a shadow, and drop it into a browser window or a device. Ready for docs, decks and release notes.

Background
8 gradients, white, dark or transparent
Card
Padding 0–128 px, corners 0–32 px, soft or medium shadow
Frame
Light or dark browser window, plain title bar, phone, tablet or laptop
Stamp
The page address, the capture date, or both

Text & export

Copy the text. Export anywhere.

OCR runs inside the extension, offline, in English. Tall full-page captures are read in tiles at full size, so small text stays readable.

Copy, save, drag

Copy to the clipboard, save with a timestamped name, or drag the preview into Slack, Notion, Figma or Docs.

PNG, JPEG, WebP

Pick a format from the Download menu. JPEG and WebP have a quality slider. Your choice is remembered.

Searchable PDF

Fit, A4 or Letter pages with an invisible OCR text layer. Text under redaction, pixelate or blur is left out.
