You can capture screenshots from the active tab with just two clicks. It provides multiple options for capturing specific portions of the page, the visual viewport, or even the entire page if it extends beyond the screen with both vertical and horizontal scroll bars. The captured image can be saved to the default download directory, copied to the clipboard, or opened in an online paint editor. The extension currently integrates JSPaint, a web-based replica of MS Paint, which offers offline functionality, allowing you to edit your images without an internet connection.

The extension adds a toolbar button to the browser's action area. Clicking on this button opens a popup window with three options:

  1. Capture the Entire Screen (3 methods. Works even if the page contains fixed-position elements)
  2. Capture Visual Part
  3. Capture a Portion

These options are also accessible via the right-click context menu on any page, providing easy access to the screenshot functionality.

Here are some additional notes about the extension:

  1. When selecting the "Capture Entire Screen" option, and the page size exceeds the window size, the extension will automatically scroll through the entire page to capture different sections and merge them into a single image. This process may take a few seconds to complete.
  2. The resolution of the captured image depends on the screen resolution. For instance, if you have a 4K display, such as a Retina display, the image resolution will be at least four times higher than a regular display.
  3. To ensure compatibility across various devices, the extension saves all captured screenshots in the widely supported PNG format, which offers high-quality lossless images.
  4. The extension does NOT add watermarks to the captured images.
  5. If you prefer to customize the format of the filenames for downloaded images, you can visit the options page and utilize the "filename mask" option to make the desired changes.

Could not live without it anymore!

Uninstalling. I liked it before the update mainly because of the minimum permissions. I don't need other options or improvements, they just need more permissions.
