## Description

ElementShot helps you capture cleaner, more useful webpage screenshots by letting you select exactly what matters on the page. Instead of taking a screenshot and annotating it later, you can click any element and instantly export the visible viewport with a highlighted border, a plain viewport screenshot, or a cropped image of only the selected element. It’s a simple workflow for product demos, bug reports, UI reviews, documentation, tutorials, and design feedback.

Designed for designers, developers, QA teams, marketers, and support teams, ElementShot keeps screenshot capture fast and consistent. You can customize the border color, width, style, and padding, save your preferences, and reuse them whenever you need. Everything works directly in the browser, so you can go from selection to download in seconds.
