Clean Street View

Remove the clutter from Google Street view for cleaner screen grabs

What is Clean Street View?

'Clean Street View' is an extension for Google Chrome specifically designed to provide an uncluttered view of Google Street View. It efficiently removes unnecessary interface elements making it an excellent tool for capturing cleaner screenshots. It operates by overriding the existing CSS code to camouflage these elements. However, it does not eliminate street names and direction arrows as they are integral parts of the image.

Screen grabs of street view are a common sight on many news websites. A crime report or other news story is often accompanied by a Street View Screen shot of the location. The problem is that the user interface can make getting a 'clean' screenshot difficult. Clean Street view is a small extension that removes the user interface elements so you can take better screenshots. It works by overriding the CSS code to 'hide' the elements.

The original idea came from a post by UK Journalist and lecturer Karl Hodge. He identified the CSS elements on the page which are used in the plugin. Note: Clean Street view doesn't remove the street names of direction arrows. These are baked into the image.
