Screenshot Extension for Chrome

Drag, edit, download. One extension, no watermark, and it captures what you actually see.

Free, no watermark, nothing uploaded. Needs a free Demorta account.

Screenshot extensions for Chrome are plentiful and mostly funded by the screenshot: a watermark on free downloads, or an upload to their server that hands you a link. This one is funded by a product it introduces, so it does neither.

It captures the tab as rendered -- hover states and open menus included -- lets you drag the region, and opens the editor immediately.

STEP 1
Install and sign in once

From the Chrome Web Store. Sign in to Demorta on the site; the extension picks it up.

STEP 2
Ctrl+Shift+8 on any page

Or press Screenshot in the recorder bar. The page dims; drag the area, or press Enter for the whole visible page.

STEP 3
Edit

Crop, box, arrow, text, pen, highlighter, pixelating blur. Undo with Ctrl+Z.

STEP 4
Download or copy

A clean PNG, or the clipboard. No badge, no link, no upload.

What sets it apart

  • Captures what is on screen -- it photographs the tab, so tooltips, hover states and open menus survive. Press the shortcut, then Enter, and nothing touches the page.
  • Full resolution -- captures at the screen’s real pixel ratio, so a crop from a Retina or scaled display stays sharp.
  • Editor first -- the capture opens in the editor; there is no save-then-open step.
  • Local -- nothing is sent anywhere.
  • No new permissions for the free tools -- the extension asks for the same access it always has for recording demos.

What it does not do

No scrolling full-page capture, no screen recording to video, no OCR. If you need those, a dedicated capture extension does them; this one is for the area screenshot most people actually take, done well, with an editor attached.

The other thing it does

The extension exists to record interactive product demos -- click through your product, get a shareable walkthrough. The screenshot tool is the part of that everyone needs on its own. If you ever need to show a sequence rather than a frame, the Record demo button is next to Screenshot and five demos are free.

Questions

What is the best free screenshot extension for Chrome?

It depends on what you need. For area capture with a real editor and no watermark, Demorta’s screenshot tool. For scrolling full-page captures or video, a dedicated capture extension.

Does the extension add a watermark?

No. Downloads are plain PNGs with nothing added, on the free plan.

What permissions does it need?

The same ones it already uses to record demos -- reading the active tab to capture it, and storage. The screenshot tools add no permissions.

Does it work on any website?

On normal web pages, yes. It cannot capture Chrome’s own pages (chrome://) or the Web Store, which Chrome blocks for every extension.
