Screenshot YouTube

Take a screenshot of any YouTube video with one click.

Screenshot YouTube is a simple and efficient Chrome extension that adds a convenient “Screenshot” button directly to the YouTube video player. This feature allows users to capture a screenshot of the currently playing video with a single click, either saving it as a file or copying it straight to the clipboard— or both.

The extension also supports optional keyboard shortcuts and includes controls to adjust the playback rate, enhancing your video viewing and capturing experience. With its recent update to manifest v3, it runs reliably without the need for history permissions. Completely free from ads, viruses, or tracking, Screenshot YouTube is open source and safe to use. Support its development on Patreon and explore the code on GitHub.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Screenshot YouTube requires very minimum permissions.
