  FastCapture — Screen Recorder & Screenshot Tool
  
  Record your screen, capture screenshots, and share them instantly. FastCapture is a lightweight, all-in-one Chrome extension for video recording and image capture — no account required, no upload to external servers. Everything is processed locally in your browser.
  
  
  🎬 VIDEO RECORDING
  
  Record anything on your screen with multiple source options:
  
  • Tab — Record the current browser tab with audio
  • Desktop — Record your entire screen or a specific window
  • Region — Draw a custom rectangle to record only a specific area
  • Camera — Record from your webcam
  
  Export your recordings in WebM (VP8/VP9) or MP4 (H.264) format. Both formats include high-quality Opus audio.
  
  Recording controls:
  • Pause & Resume — Take a break and continue recording later
  • Discard — Delete the recording without saving
  • Configurable countdown — 3s, 5s, or 10s delay before recording starts
  • Keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+Q) to start and stop recording instantly
  
  
  📸 SCREENSHOT CAPTURE
  
  Capture any part of any webpage with four powerful modes:
  
  • Visible Area — Capture exactly what you see on screen (Alt+Shift+V)
  • Full Page — Automatically scroll and stitch the entire webpage into a single image (Alt+Shift+F)
  • Region — Draw a rectangle to capture a specific area (Alt+Shift+R)
  • All Tabs — Capture every open tab in the current window at once
  
  Save your screenshots as PNG (lossless), JPG, or PDF. Full-page and multi-tab captures work seamlessly with all formats, including multi-page PDFs.
  
  
  🎥 CAMERA OVERLAY
  
  Add a circular webcam overlay to your recordings. Perfect for tutorials, presentations, and product demos. The camera bubble appears in the corner of your video, making it easy to add a personal touch to your screen recordings.
