Everything SwiftShot can do

One fast extension replaces 4–5 separate tools: capture any web page, mark it up with pro annotation tools, wrap it in a beautiful frame, and share it instantly — all without leaving your browser and without uploading a thing.

Latest release

What's new in v1.1

The newest version makes screenshots more animated, sharper and easier to edit.

Animated screenshots

Animated stickers now upload as looping GIFs and export automatically.

Sharper GIF exports

A new colour engine eliminates banding for clean, crisp GIFs.

Rotate & proportional resize

Sticker rotation plus Shift-resize keeps everything perfectly in scale.

More sticker tabs

New Cursors and Shapes tabs in the sticker library.

Caption text styles

Captions now come in plain, background-pill or outlined styles.

Editable text

Change any text annotation later with right-click → Edit text.

In-app user guide

Press ? anywhere to open the built-in guide.

Capture anything

Grab exactly what you need, however the page is built — from a single button to an entire scrolling article.

Visible area

Capture what's on screen and drag to crop to any region.

Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + S

Specific element

Hover any element — a card, button, table or chart — and click to grab just that, pixel-perfect.

Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + E

Full scrolling page

Right-click → Capture full page. SwiftShot auto-scrolls and stitches the whole page into one seamless tall image.

Delayed capture

Set a timer to capture hover states, dropdowns and menus that would otherwise disappear on click.

Pro annotation tools

A full annotation studio opens the instant you capture — and every element stays editable.

Pencil & highlighter

Freehand drawing with adjustable brush size for quick marks and emphasis.

Text in three styles

Multiple fonts, sizes and colours — plain, background pill, or outlined. Right-click → Edit text to change it anytime.

Arrows, lines & shapes

Arrow, Line, Rectangle and Circle for sharp callouts in any colour.

Numbered markers

Auto-incrementing step badges — perfect for tutorials and step-by-step guides.

Blur & pixelate

Mask emails, names and sensitive content with adjustable intensity before you share.

Edit anything, anytime

Select to move, drag the corners to resize, grab the handle to rotate, reorder layers, and undo/redo without limits.

Pro annotation tools →

Stickers & overlays

Add personality and emphasis from a built-in library — organised into Library, Emoji, Upload, Recent and Saved tabs.

90+ animated GIF stickers

Cute characters, arrows and callouts that bring motion to any shot.

Cursor stickers

Drop in a pointer for clean "click here" demos and walkthroughs.

Shape stickers

Stars, hearts, lightning, speech bubbles and check / X / question / exclamation badges.

Full emoji picker

Search the complete Unicode emoji set for quick reactions and labels.

Upload your own

Add PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or SVG (max 2 MB), or paste an image URL from Tenor, LottieFiles or IconScout.

Recent & saved

Your most-used stickers stay one click away in the Recent and Saved favourites tabs.

Frame & Beautify

Turn a plain screenshot into a polished, social-ready asset. Five tabs — Background, Frame, Mockup, Caption and Stickers — give you full control.

Backgrounds

Gradient, solid, pattern, custom image or transparent — with 24 gradient presets, an adjustable angle and a subtle noise overlay.

Frame & spacing

Aspect-ratio presets (Free, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 3:2, 4:3), padding presets from S to XL or Auto, plus corner-radius and shadow controls.

Device mockups

Wrap shots in a macOS window (light or dark) or browser chrome (light or dark), complete with an editable address-bar URL.

Captions

Add a caption above or below, aligned left, center or right, in three text styles and four font families (System, Sans, Serif, Mono) with adjustable size, colour and bold.

Reusable templates

Save your favourite background + frame + caption combos as templates and apply them in one click.

Smart sharing & export

Send your screenshot anywhere, in exactly the right format — straight from the editor.

Image formats

Save as PNG (lossless), JPEG or WebP, or copy straight to your clipboard to paste into Slack, Notion or email.

PDF & print

Export a single-page PDF or send the shot straight to your printer.

Animated GIF & WebM

When animated stickers are present, SwiftShot smart-exports a looping GIF or a WebM video automatically.

One-click share menu

Upload for a shareable link, send by email, or post to Slack — all from a single button.

Smart sharing & export →

Local history

Every capture is kept on your device so you can find and reopen it later — nothing is ever uploaded automatically.

Private by default

Each saved screenshot lives in your browser only. SwiftShot never uploads your history.

Search & filter

Search by filename, source URL or notes, and filter to Today, 7 days, 30 days or Favourites.

Reopen in the editor

Click any past capture to reopen and keep editing where you left off.

Star & clean up

Star the shots you want to keep forever, then clear non-favourites in a single click.

Local history →

Settings & defaults

Tune SwiftShot to match your workflow — once set, every capture follows your preferences.

Theme

Choose a Light, Dark or System editor colour scheme.

Export defaults

Set the default save format (PNG / JPEG / WebP) and JPEG / WebP quality.

Filename prefix

Prepend a custom prefix to every download — a timestamp is appended automatically.

Workflow options

Auto-copy to clipboard on save, save-to-history toggle, history size, and delayed-capture seconds.

Remove watermark (Pro)

Pro removes the "Made with SwiftShot" watermark from your exports.
