Frequently Asked Questions

How do I grant permission for screen capture?

When you click "Take Screenshot", your browser will prompt you to select what you want to share. You can choose to share your entire screen, a specific window, or a browser tab. Click "Share" to grant permission and capture the screenshot. The permission is only valid for the current session.

What image format should I choose?

Choose PNG for screenshots with text, graphics, or when you need transparency. Use JPEG for photos or when file size is important. WebP is a modern format that offers excellent compression with good quality. PNG is lossless and recommended for most use cases.

Question not found

Yes! After taking a screenshot, you can click the "Copy" button to copy it directly to your clipboard. This is useful for quickly pasting into documents, emails, or chat applications. Note that clipboard support depends on your browser and operating system.

What's the difference between the capture types?

Full Screen captures your entire screen including all monitors. Specific Window captures only a particular application window. Browser Tab captures only the content of the current browser tab. Choose the option that best fits what you want to capture.

Can I adjust the image quality?

Yes! For JPEG and WebP formats, you can adjust the quality from 10% to 100% using the quality slider in the settings panel. Higher quality means better image quality but larger file size. PNG format is always lossless and doesn't have quality settings.

Why can't I take screenshots in some browsers?

Screenshot functionality requires modern browser support for the Screen Capture API. Make sure you're using a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Some older browsers or browsers with strict privacy settings may not support screen capture.

Are my screenshots stored anywhere?

No! All screenshots are processed locally in your browser and only stored temporarily in your browser's memory. We don't store, upload, or have access to any of your screenshots. They are only downloaded to your device when you choose to save them.

Can I edit screenshots after taking them?

Our tool focuses on capturing screenshots. After downloading, you can edit them with any image editing software like Photoshop, GIMP, Paint, or online editors. The downloaded images are standard image files that work with any image editor.
