Capture video from canvas elements

Features & Capabilities

Canvas Capture is a powerful Chrome extension designed to record videos directly from HTML canvas elements on any webpage. With a simple click of the extension's toolbar button, users can view all canvas elements on the page, select one, and start capturing its animation in real-time. The recorded video is saved locally in webm format without any need for network access, leveraging the browser's MediaRecorder, MediaStream, and Blob APIs.

This tool is perfect for developers, designers, educators, and anyone interested in saving dynamic visual content from canvas elements. Its user-friendly interface quickly identifies canvas elements and provides easy controls to start and stop recording, generating a downloadable video link immediately after capture.

Is Canvas Capture Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Canvas Capture requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
