Answers for users and admins

1. Open Screshot on the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
2. Click the puzzle icon in the Chrome toolbar, then the pin next to Screshot so the icon is always visible.

Not to capture, blur, copy or download. Screshot works as soon as it is installed. You sign in with Google only when you want to share a link.

Capturing, blurring, annotating, copying and downloading are free for individuals and organizations, and will stay free. Sharing includes 1 GB of encrypted storage per account at no charge.

Click the Screshot icon or press Ctrl+Shift+S (⌘+Shift+S on Mac). The capture opens in the editor. Drag to keep only part of it, or double-click to keep the whole image. Double-click again to go back to your selection.

Right-click the Screshot icon and choose Capture full page, or press Alt+Shift+S. Screshot scrolls the page and stitches it into one image, which opens in a new tab where you can copy or download it. A progress bar appears at the bottom of the page; press Esc to cancel.

Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and set new shortcuts for Screshot.

Crop, blur, pencil, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, highlighter and text, with a color picker and undo/redo. See all editor shortcuts.

Select the blur tool (eye icon, or Ctrl+Alt+B) and drag over the area to hide. The original pixels are discarded, so blurred text cannot be recovered from the exported image.

With a drawing tool selected, scroll the mouse wheel over the image. Hold Shift to change it faster.

Click Copy (or press Ctrl+Alt+C in the editor), then paste into Slack, Teams, Jira, email or any document.

Click Download (or press Ctrl+Alt+S). The image is saved as a PNG in your Downloads folder.

On your device, wherever you copy or download them. Screshot does not keep a copy, and closing the editor tab discards anything you did not save. Only screenshots you share are stored in your Screshot account, end-to-end encrypted, until you delete them.

1. In the editor, click Share. The first time, sign in with Google and set up encryption (see below).
2. Screshot encrypts the screenshot on your device and uploads it. The link is copied when it's ready.
3. Choose who can view it: Only me (the default), Invited people or Anyone with the link. You can change this at any time, without uploading again.

With your Google account, from the extension's Share button or on screshot.com. Signing in on one also signs in the other, and signing out of either signs out of both.

The first time you share, Screshot creates your encryption keys in your browser. You protect them with a passkey (fingerprint, face or device PIN) and a 25-character recovery code. Save the recovery code somewhere safe, such as a password manager: it is shown only once.

Open your screenshots and unlock with a passkey, or enter your recovery code. You can add more passkeys and make a new recovery code in Settings. Lock this browser forgets the key on that device.

Your shared screenshots are end-to-end encrypted, and we never have the key, so nobody can open them again, including us. You can still delete them or your account. If you still have one of the two, make a new recovery code or add a passkey in Settings right away.

Choose Invited people and enter their email addresses. They get an email and open the screenshot after signing in. If they haven't set up encryption yet, their invite waits and their key is added the next time you use Screshot. Remove someone and the link stops working for them on their next open.

No. Images and thumbnails are encrypted before upload, and keys are only ever stored encrypted. We can see details such as titles, sizes and invited emails. See the security overview.

Move it to the Trash from your dashboard. You can restore it for 30 days; after that it is erased. Use Delete forever in the Trash to erase it at once from our database and storage.

Both are in Settings. Deleting your account erases your screenshots, keys and sign-ins at once.

Force-install Screshot with the Google Admin console, Intune, Group Policy or a Mac configuration profile. Step-by-step instructions are in the deployment guide.

Only the tab a user chooses to capture, at the moment they capture it. The security overview lists every permission and explains the data flow.

No. The welcome page only opens after a manual install.

Chrome does not allow extensions to capture its own pages, such as chrome:// settings, the Chrome Web Store or the new tab page. Open a regular website and try again.

Some pages scroll inside an inner panel rather than the whole window (for example web mail or chat apps). Screshot captures the window's scroll, so on those pages only the visible area is captured. Pages with content that loads while scrolling may need a second capture.

Very long full-page images can exceed what the clipboard accepts. Use Download instead.

Chrome updates extensions automatically. To check right away, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode and click Update.
