2. Awesome Screenshot

Capture screenshots and record your screen with this 2-in-1 solution.

Best for: Screen capture (video or screenshot) with shareable link.

I use Awesome Screenshot to record short videos for product demos or tutorials.

This screenshot Google Chrome extension can do a lot.

Key features:

• Capture a full page screen capture, a selected area, or the visible part of any webpage you visit
• Set a delay to capture specific interactions on a screenshot
• Annotate and edit
• Send to Jira, Slack, Trello, Asana, or GitHub (no 2-way sync)
• Video resolution up to 720p (WebM or MP4)

Pros:

• Your cursor position is highlighted on the page when recording a video
• Particularly useful for async work or recording tutorials
• Can be used for real-time debugging, too—but has far fewer features than Marker.io in that regard

Cons:

• No keyboard shortcut
• ‍‍Opens up a new tab for every screenshot—which can become annoying
• You'll need an account to record videos or use the "share link" feature

Pricing: Free version available. The Pro version starts at $6/month when billed annually.

3. GoFullPage

A screen capture tool that enables you to take full-page screenshots.

Best for: Full-page screenshots and exporting to PDF.

It's in the name. GoFullPage captures screenshots of an entire webpage.

While it might be light on features, this great extension does what it promises—and fast.

The Go Full Page Chrome extension is the only one on this list (alongside Marker.io) that handles inner scrollable elements and embedded iframes reliably—often the most difficult pages to capture accurately.

Key features:

• Captures inner scrollable elements and embedded iframes (unlike many extensions on this list)
• Full page screen capture
• Has keyboard shortcuts
• Export your result to PNG, JPEG, or PDF

Pros: No need to sign up on an external website. Install the extension and get going.

Cons: The markup and annotation tools are only available on the Premium version.

Pricing: Free. The Premium version comes at just $1/month.

4. Screenshot Tool

Everyday screenshots in your browser.

Best for: Everyday tasks.

Screenshot Tool is a full screen screenshot extension for Chrome.

Key features:

You have 3 options:

• Full-page screenshot
• Selected area
• Visible part only

You then get the option to annotate and markup your screenshot. Download or copy the final result.

I recommend this extension if you only need to take screenshots now and then.

Pros:

• Loads very fast
• No signup or external website required
• Better annotation tools than Windows' Snipping Tool—crop, paint over, add arrows, and text

Cons:

• No keyboard shortcuts
• Limited use cases

Pricing: This is a free extension.

5. Lightshot

Capture, annotate, and share screenshots.

Best for: Area screenshots.

Lightshot is simple and free to use. It's similar to Screenshot Tool in many ways.

The app is available on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Chrome, Firefox, IE & Opera).

Key features:

• Take an area screenshot on any website or part of your desktop
• Edit and annotate
• Copy and share via a short link

Pros:

• I like the simplicity of the annotation tools—draw lines, add shapes, and write text
• Keyboard shortcuts available

Cons:

• A bit slower than the other extensions—but this is good enough for now-and then screenshots
• Always have to select an area

Pricing: This extension (and the app) is free.

6. Scribe

Turn any workflow into a fully-documented SOP or tutorial.

Best for: Creating SOPs, documentation, or tutorials.

Scribe is incredible for writing step-by-step guides.

1. Turn on the extension
2. Go through the workflow
3. Scribe takes screenshots for each action you perform
4. And adds written instructions next to them.

Key features:

• Record and edit workflows

• Follow workflows created by other users (e.g., your team) straight in the sidebar
• Blur screenshots and/or redact sensitive information (higher plans only)

Pros: Intuitive UI—super easy to use. Turn on the extension and done.

Cons: You'll need to sign up before using the extension, but it's well worth it.

7. Askify

Advanced notes and screenshots for videos.

Best for: Research and note-taking on videos.

Our next screenshot extension for Chrome is Askify.

It also adds a clickable timestamp next to your screenshots.

Async video communication, recordings, and screenshots.

Best for: Teachers, presentations, and async work.

With Screencastify, you can create video presentations straight from your browser.

This screen video recorder is best suited for teachers and async workflows.

It's not one I use personally, but if it fits your use case, it's worth checking out.

The main use case is the ability to screenshot elements that are larger than your viewport—including fixed elements that other tools often miss.

Key features:

• Capture a full or partial Chrome screenshot
• Extract specific elements on a webpage

11. Markup Hero

Screenshot, annotate, and collaborate on any web page.

Best for: Team collaboration and advanced annotation.

Markup Hero is a great extension for teams that need to do more than just save screenshots. You can annotate them, share them via link, and let colleagues add their own annotations on top.

It also handles one of the trickiest screenshot problems: extra-long web pages. It offers multi-page scrolling screenshots, breaking long captures into manageable sections rather than one unwieldy image.

Key features:

• 20+ annotation tools—arrows, text, pen, highlighter, blur, and signatures
• Let others add annotations to your screenshots via a shareable link

• Handles ultra-long web pages that trip up other tools
• Strong collaboration features without the complexity

Cons:

• Some users report occasional bugs with scrolling capture on complex pages

Pricing: Free. Premium is $3/month.

12. FireShot

Capture full-page screenshots in Chrome, and add annotations.

Best for: Convert a list of URLs to full-page PDFs.

FireShot is similar to GoFullPage, but with a built-in premium editor and annotation tools.

Cons: You'll need the Pro version to add annotations to full-page screenshots.

Pricing: Free, with the Pro lifetime license at $40.

Honorable mentions

Here are a few more extensions that almost made the cut.

These didn't make the main list because they are very similar to existing apps, but they might still be useful:

• Screenshot YouTube: Specifically for YouTube, this extension adds a "Screenshot" button to your YouTube player. Useful for frame-by-frame analysis and note-taking.
• Paint Tool for Chrome: Instant annotations on any page. Better suited for real-time annotations like product demos or how-to's, but screenshot capture is not the best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need an extension when I can just take a normal screenshot?

If you only need to take a screenshot occasionally (sharing updates, social media posts, etc.), you might not need a dedicated extension.

For those who work with Google Chrome daily—like web developers—the right screen capture extension makes a real difference:

• Taking full page screenshots of complex pages
• Filing bug reports
• Sharing feedback and annotated screenshots on a daily basis

The right browser extension can make all of these processes much faster.

How do you take a full-page screenshot in Chrome without extensions?

Here's how you can take a full-page screenshot with Chrome's built-in Developer Tools:

1. Open Developer Tools

Right-click the page, or press Ctrl+Shift+I (on Windows) or Cmd+Opt+I (on Mac).

2. Open the Command Menu

In Developer Tools, press Ctrl+Shift+P (on Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (on Mac).

This will open the Command Menu. If this doesn't work, you can also click the three dots in the top right of your Developer Tools.

3. Take a screenshot

Type "screenshot" into the Command Menu, and you'll see several options appear:

• Capture area screenshot: to capture only a portion of the webpage.
• Capture full-size screenshot: capture the whole page, including parts not immediately visible in the viewport without scrolling.
• Capture node screenshot: capture a specific element ("node") on the webpage.
• Capture screenshot: capture the visible part of the webpage.

We want the second option here, but now you know what the rest does!

Click "Capture full-size screenshot", and your file will automatically save in your default download location.
