About Simple Screenshot Capture

Simple Screenshot Capture is a Chrome extension that takes screenshots of any browser tab and saves them as PNG files. Click the icon, click capture, get a PNG.

Why it exists

Most screenshot tools are overloaded with features: annotation tools, cloud storage, sharing links, team accounts. Simple Screenshot Capture does one thing. It captures your tab and saves it as a file.

How it works

The extension uses Chrome’s built-in tab capture API to grab a pixel-perfect image of the visible area. For full page capture (Pro), it scrolls through the entire page and stitches the screenshots together. The result downloads as a high-quality PNG file.

Free & Pro

The extension is free to use for visible area screenshots. An optional Pro upgrade ($14.99 one-time) unlocks full page scroll capture, which screenshots the entire scrollable page as one tall image.

Who built it

Simple Screenshot Capture was built by Duncan Rawlinson, a photographer and technologist based in Canada.

Privacy first

Capture and stitching run locally in your browser. PNGs save straight to your Downloads folder. The only network request the extension ever makes is a one-time Pro license validation if you choose to upgrade. Read the full Privacy Policy for details.
