  Premium screenshot tool. Capture full page or region, annotate with shapes, text, blur, redact. Copy to clipboard.

  Empiric Studio v2.3.0 - Frame, scrolling element capture, keyboard shortcuts
  
  What's new
  
  • Keyboard shortcuts - Alt+Shift+F captures the full page, Alt+Shift+R captures a region. Rebind any time from chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  • Frame - a new editor tool that wraps any region capture with padding, a gradient or solid background, rounded corners, and a drop shadow. Everything is baked
   into the exported PNG, so screenshots are share-ready straight from the editor — no third-party tools needed.
  • Capture element - hover-pick any scrollable container on a page (sidebar, chat pane, modal, message list) and stitch its entire internal scroll height into a
   single PNG.
  
  Notes
  
  • Frame is available only when "Edit before save" is enabled on a region capture.
  • Element capture works on elements that have their own scroll container (CSS overflow-y: auto/scroll). For long inline page sections without their own
  scroller, use full page capture instead.
  • Cross-origin iframes are not supported by Chrome content scripts, so element capture cannot reach into them.
