A free Chrome extension with selected-area and visible-tab capture, 8 annotation tools, offline OCR, one-click export, and optional cloud uploads with public link sharing.

Everything you need in a screenshot tool

Powerful enough for power users, simple enough for everyone.

Two Capture Modes

Select any area or capture the full visible page. Keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+A / S) for instant capture.

8 Annotation Tools

Rectangle, arrow, line, freehand, text, blur, select, and crop — with 6 colors and 3 stroke sizes. Full undo/redo support.

Beautiful Backgrounds

11 presets — 8 gradients, 2 solids, and transparent. Adjustable padding (0–128 px) and border radius (0–32 px).

Offline OCR

Extract English text locally from your screenshot. Local OCR needs neither an account nor an external OCR API.

Instant Export

Copy the finished image to your clipboard or download it as a PNG.

Local Recovery

Refresh or return to a recent editor tab to restore that capture from local browser storage. Capture records are eligible for cleanup after seven days.

Cloud uploads, sharing, and public viewer

Choose Google sign-in and Upload to store a screenshot and create a random, unlisted public link. Anyone with the link can view it; no viewer account is required.

Local capture, editing, export, and OCR do not upload your image. Cloud uploads are checked by an image-moderation service before storage. The source page URL, page title, and OCR text are not included automatically.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

Capture

Click the extension icon or press a shortcut. Select an area or grab the full visible page.

2

Edit

Annotate, crop, and extract text with offline OCR. Add a gradient background and drop shadow.

3

Share

Copy, download, or explicitly upload to the cloud and share via a link. Optional Google sign-in.

Annotation Toolkit

Eight tools to mark up any screenshot: rectangle, arrow, line, freehand draw, text, blur, select, and crop. Choose from 6 color swatches and 3 stroke widths. Undo and redo keep your workflow non-destructive.

Beautify Engine

Choose from 11 background presets: Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Candy, Midnight, Fire, Sky, Lavender, White, Dark, and Transparent. Fine-tune padding from 0 to 128 px, border radius from 0 to 32 px, and pick from three shadow intensities — None, Soft, or Medium.

Radius 16 px

Edit, Export & Share

Every capture opens in Screencap's extension-owned editor, keeping screenshot pixels and privileged actions out of the page you captured. From there, copy to clipboard, save as PNG, run local OCR, or choose Upload to create a public, unlisted share link.
