## Description

ImageTools Screenshot Capture sends screenshots from your browser
  directly to your ImageTools backend, where they're stored against
  your account and ready for resizing, compression, annotation, and
  sharing.

THREE CAPTURE MODES
  • Visible area — capture exactly what's on your screen.
  • Full page — scroll-capture the entire page, including content
    below the fold, with HiDPI / device-emulation handled correctly.
  • Selected region — drag a rectangle anywhere on the page; the
    selection works cleanly even when you release the mouse off the
    edge of the viewport.

INVOKE IT YOUR WAY
  • Click the extension icon and pick a mode.
  • Right-click on any page and use the context menu.

SECURE BY DESIGN
  The extension connects to your own ImageTools backend through a
  short authorization flow:
    1. In the ImageTools web UI, generate a one-time registration URL.
    2. Paste it into the extension once.
    3. The extension exchanges it for an access token (30-day) and a
       refresh token (90-day), stored locally in the browser.
    4. All future uploads go straight to your backend over HTTPS.
  You can revoke connected extensions at any time from the ImageTools
  settings panel.

PRIVACY
  The extension captures only when you explicitly invoke it. There is
  no background data collection, no telemetry, and no third-party
  analytics. Screenshots are sent only to the ImageTools backend you
  registered the extension with — never anywhere else.

ABOUT IMAGETOOLS
  ImageTools is open-source, self-hosted image-management software.
