## Description

Spotlight lets you visually highlight elements on any web page for clean, focused screenshots - perfect for bug reports, documentation, tutorials, and content posts.

Click any element to select it. Spotlight draws a crisp bounding box around it and dims everything else. Select multiple elements, switch to Preview mode, then capture in PNG, WebP, or JPEG.

<strong>Free</strong>
