Features & Capabilities

SVG Screenshot is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to capture website screenshots in SVG format, combining the best features of traditional screenshots with the flexibility and advantages of vector graphics. You can select any region or capture the entire page, resulting in scalable images that stay crisp and clear when zoomed.

Unlike standard PNG screenshots, SVG Screenshot retains semantic elements like selectable text and accessibility features, including ARIA annotations for screen readers. SVGs generated are interactive, preserving clickable links, and self-contained by inlining external resources such as images and fonts. These screenshots integrate seamlessly with design tools like Illustrator, Figma, and Sketch, making it ideal for designers and developers. Additionally, SVG files are often smaller, compress losslessly, and secure since they do not run JavaScript, ensuring static layouts captured at the moment of snapshot remain unchanged.

It is okay. It does not work well, but it does work. Using this on webpages, that use even a small bit of complex CSS (like bosworthtoller), makes this throw up webpage spaghetti. Misaligned text and shapes, icons don't scale correctly sometimes—but it does keep the general shape of the page. Be ready to edit the SVG often, so use this, only if you want to put a little work into it.

Works great. Enables you to save a portion (or the visible region) of a webpage to SVG. Renders the visible elements into SVG fairly accurately. Obviously, since it has to convert what Gecko renders to an equivalent in SVG, it is not always 100% match (e.g. shadows are problematic, CSS blur does not work at all). But that is understandable, the capabilities of CSS and those of SVG are not 1:1, each can do a bit different things visually and matching them 1:1 is probably pretty hard, I can imagine. BTW, the text parts of the page are kept as text so the screenshots can be manupulated, e.g., in Inkscape as needed. So good job, Mr. Becker; compared to what I've seen and tested in this category of add-ons, this is the best one I found by far.

Doesn't properly render a local file that I tested. Additionally, whether the viewport option captures the entire page or merely the visible portion isn't evident.

Is SVG Screenshot Safe?

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.

SVG Screenshot requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

SVG Screenshot has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
