What Simple Screenshot Does

Built with precision to solve real problems without adding complexity.

One-Click Capture

Click the toolbar icon. The visible part of the tab saves as a date-stamped PNG in your Downloads folder.

Copy to Clipboard

One button copies the visible tab to your clipboard. Paste straight into chat, email, or docs.

Full-Page Scrolling Capture

Captures the entire scrolling page and stitches the slices into one tall image. Sticky headers are neutralized before capture.

Keyboard Shortcut

Press Ctrl+Shift+S or Cmd+Shift+S on Mac to capture the visible tab without opening the popup.

Five Narrow Permissions

Zero Network

Nothing uploads. No account, no cloud, no analytics. The source can be audited.
