Handy Screenshot

An easy tool for taking screenshots (full screen / visible part / selected by yourself)

Handy Screenshot: Easy & Convenient Screenshot Chrome Extension

'Handy Screenshot' is a Chrome extension designed to simplify the process of capturing screenshots. With the capability to capture the full screen, visible part, or user-selected area of a webpage, it offers an easy user interface for screenshot editing. After capturing, users can easily copy the image with a single click. While it consistently updates with Chrome changes, users may experience slower captures with the full page screenshot feature due to a recent Chrome 92 change.

Capture the web page, either part of it or full page. Edit your screenshots in a very user-friendly interface.

Click on icon or Press Alt twice to take screenshots.

Notes:

With 1.3.0 rolled out, it's been migrated to manifest v3, and now you can copy the image with one click, no need for right click and copy image any more
With the latest change shipped with Chrome 92, the time spent on taking full page screenshot becomes slower. Reference: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabs/#property-MAX_CAPTURE_VISIBLE_TAB_CALLS_PER_SECOND

Great tool, working well on ALL occasions, compared to "Lightshot" (that recently started failing every two screenshots, just copying a blank image, and that they did not care to fix it, though there are several comments pointing at the problem). I really like that I can cut portions of the page that are not immediately visible, by scrolling with the select tool, that's a welcomed improvement over Lightshot. I would suggest to have better tools for annotation, better looking arrows for example, and an "in page" mode as Lightshot (which is actually a duplicate of the page being copied that immediately closes when the user selects save or copy). Other than that please keep the good work. Glad to have found an alternative tool

Reason it doesnt get 5 stars from me is because it doesnt support dark mode inversion on web pages, making the overlay div "<div class="whole-mask"></div>" opaque with no transparency which defeats the object and makes it unusable. With all browsers now supporting light and dark switching you need to account for this during development and test for it.
