A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

A little more clarity.

Where do my screenshots go?+

Images are processed on your device. The extension stores captures in your browser’s local database and removes records older than 24 hours when you next capture. Exported files go to your chosen download location. Read our privacy policy.

Do I need to install anything?+

For full-page and visible-area webpage screenshots, install the Chrome or Edge extension. To annotate an image you already have, use the online editor without installing anything. The extension is currently a development build and is not listed in browser extension stores.

What’s included in a PDF export?+

Your screenshot is placed on A4 pages as an image. Text is not searchable and webpage links are not retained. Choose PNG for a lossless image or JPEG for a smaller file.

Can it capture every kind of page?+

It supports ordinary HTTP and HTTPS pages. Browser settings, extension stores, protected viewers, nested scrolling panels, and infinite feeds can be restricted or incomplete. Full-page capture supports up to 80 frames, 32,000 pixels per side, and 80 million total pixels. Keep the target tab active while capturing.
