The tool also lets you save captured images locally and upload them later to a sharing site. We had a blast capturing and editing images and entire Web pages on the fly, but that's just the beginning clicking Done displayed our final image with the option to save it locally or online, temporarily or permanently, at the publisher's site. There's even an Undo button, and a Done button to save annotated images. If you've used Photoshop or a digital snapshot editor, you'll recognize the crop, blur, text, and color picker tools as well as tools for adding rectangles, ellipses, lines, free lines, and arrows directly to the captured image. The real fun starts when you capture an image, which opens a toolbar at the top of the main window just below Chrome's toolbar. Right-clicking the icon accesses the extension's properties, including a set of clear instructions on its Chrome page and the ability to set keyboard shortcuts for the tool's three capture functions. Clicking the extension's icon called up a small dialog letting us save the entire page, the visible portion, or a selected area, though we quickly learned that we couldn't save selected areas of secure Web pages. Instead of opening two or three tools just to save a screen image, doctor it up, and e-mail it to your grateful friends, Awesome Screenshot can do the job in a few clicks.Ĭhrome extensions usually install virtually instantaneously, and Awesome Screenshot is no exception. Awesome Screenshot: Capture and Annotate is a free extension for Google Chrome that adds a screen capture utility with a small built-in graphics app that lets you edit, annotate, and share captured images quickly and easily via a pop-up toolbar.
