Screenshot Redactor

Screenshot Redactor helps you quickly clean screenshots before sending them to coworkers, support teams, clients, documentation, or social media. Capture the visible tab or import an image, draw redaction boxes, choose solid block, blur, or pixelate, then export a clean PNG.

Privacy-first by design: screenshots stay on your device. There is no account, no analytics, no backend, no CDN, no remote image processing, and no host permissions.

Features:

• Capture visible tab after user action.
• Capture a selected page area with an on-page drag overlay.
• Capture full-page screenshots by locally stitching viewport captures.
• Import PNG, JPEG, or WebP images.
• Redact using block, blur, or pixelate tools.
• Crop screenshots before export.
• Add pen marks, text, arrows, rectangles, circles, and colors for clear callouts.
• Export flattened PNG files.
• Configure local export and editor defaults.
• Clear local data anytime.

Limitations: Version 1.0.0 does not include OCR or automatic sensitive-data detection. Review every exported image before sharing.

Permissions:

• activeTab: capture the visible tab after user action.
• tabs: use active tab title/domain for context and filenames.
• storage: save local settings and optional local metadata.
• scripting: inject a temporary helper only after user action for selection/full-page capture.
• unlimitedStorage: handle larger local screenshot captures before editing/export.
