OpenCapture

About

Free screen capture for Chrome. Everything stays on your device — no account, no cloud, no telemetry.

CAPTURE FIVE WAYS
• Visible area — grab the current viewport in one click.
• Selected area — drag a rectangle to capture exactly what you want.
• Full page — auto-scroll and stitch a whole page into one image.
• Desktop screenshot — capture any screen, window, or browser tab via Chrome's native picker.
• Video recording — record a screen, window, or tab to a local .webm or .mp4 file, with optional microphone audio.

ANNOTATE FAST
A built-in editor opens after every screenshot. Tools: arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, freehand pen, text, highlighter, blur (for hiding sensitive info), numbered step markers, and crop. Color palette, adjustable stroke, undo/redo, zoom, copy-to-clipboard, and PNG download. Fully keyboard-operable.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
OpenCapture makes zero network requests. No data is collected, uploaded, or tracked — ever. No "sign in to continue," no upgrade nags, no shareable cloud links by design. Your captures stay on your machine. Full privacy policy: https://idlehumans.ai/opencapture/privacy

WHO IT'S FOR
Developers, designers, support engineers, product managers — anyone who screenshots many times a day and needs the result to look right on the first try, without fiddling.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Full-page capture follows the main browser scroll. A few apps that scroll inside their own panel rather than the window (some single-page web apps) may capture only the visible area on a full-page attempt. Visible-area, selected-area, desktop screenshot, and video recording are unaffected.
• Protected pages (chrome://, the Chrome Web Store, and other internal pages) can't be captured by any extension; the popup tells you when a page can't be captured.
• Saved files go to your normal Downloads folder. There are no cloud links — by design (see Privacy).
