Screen Capture

Capture visible content of a tab, a region of a web page, or the whole page as a PNG image.
What is Screen Capture?
"Screen Capture" is an enhanced Chrome extension enabling users to take screenshots of webpages - the full page, a specific region, or the visible content. This tool, maintained by Adrià Vilanova Martínez (@avm99963), is a fork of Google's original extension and includes post-capture editing capabilities. While certain features like social sharing and keyboard shortcuts are currently unavailable, the developer is open to contributions and plans to reintroduce shortcuts in the future. Bug reports and code contributions are encouraged through Gerrit or GitHub.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

"Screen Capture" is a fork maintained by Adrià Vilanova Martínez (aka @avm99963) of the original open source extension "Screen Capture (by Google)".

NOTE: All the issues the extension had in the past have been fixed in the newest version. Now everything should work correctly.

It allows to perform screenshots of the visible part of the page, a specific region or the entire page. Afterward, it also allows to edit the picture and save it.

Unfortunately, the following features have been removed because of several reasons:

  • The feature to share screenshots via social networks has been removed (because it stopped working). I don't have plans to bring this back.
  • The feature to use keyboard shortcuts to take screenshots (because it was implemented in a way which is no longer permitted in the Chrome Web Store). I have plans to bring this back in the future.

If you want to work on any of these issues, please ping me and submit the updated code in one of the following places:

Also, bug reports are welcome at https://s.iavm.xyz/screen-capture-new-issue (see a list of issues at https://s.iavm.xyz/screen-capture-issues), and pull requests/changes are welcome both at Gerrit and GitHub.
