What is Web Clipper: Easy Screenshot?
Easy Screenshot is an easy to use screen capture tool. Simply press one of the context menu items to capture entire or a portion of your screen.
To take screenshots you have three options:
- Capture entire screen (no matter how long the page is)
- Capture visible area
- Capture selected area
The captured screenshot is being saved as PNG format with the title of page used for file naming
Four reasons to use easy screenshot:
- Take a full visual screen capture from right click context item
- Take a portion screen capture from right click context item
- Light-weight compared to other screen capturing extensions
- More secure because the code is publicly available for review and contributions. In other words, it's open source.
Comments and Reviews
Available as a browser extension, and works fine.
It can take a screenshot of a whole web page, the visible part, or a selected portion.
I only wish it could save as PDF also, not only as a PNG picture, like FireShot is able to do.
The good • I love it. It is owned and supported by a friendly community. Not a corporation. So more secure because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on GitHub at https://github.com/schomery/easy-screenshot • Easy to use. Simply right click anywhere in your browser window. Select "Easy Screenshot" option. Then select "entire page", a" portion", or "visual part." option • Optionally, for each screenshot, you can be ask for a location to store it to storage • Optionally, you can save the screenshot to clipboard. Which is very useful for quickly and easily paste the screenshot into any other software to your liking. • Automatically adds timestamps to filenames • Lightweight • Very good quality screenshot using PNG format • Available for Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari
The bad • Minimal features
Tip • If the "Capture Entire Screen" fails. Because merged parts are overlapping. To temporarily resolved this challenge, use Firefox, temporarily change the page zoom to 100%. Then try again to "Capture Entire Screen". This time "Capture Entire Screen" successfully take the screenshot without overlap.
