CaptureTools

CaptureTools — your capture tool, not someone's data pipeline. One tool, four jobs: screenshots, screen recording, GIF/MP4 conversion, and annotation. Everything runs on your own machine — no servers, no account, no tracking, works fully offline. 📸 Screenshots ・Visible area: one-click capture ・Region: drag a rectangle, capture just that ・Full page: auto-scroll stitching with smart hiding of repeating sticky headers 🎬 Recording ・Record a tab (with its audio) — clean start after a 3-second countdown ・Record your desktop or a window via the native source picker, system audio supported; the control panel shrinks out of your way while recording ・Save as WebM, or convert locally: GIF: global palette (no flicker), Floyd–Steinberg dithering, 0.5×–2× speed, boomerang loop MP4: H.264 via WebCodecs, audio included, cancellable progress ✏️ Editor ・Six tools: text, arrow, rectangle, brush, blur (mosaic), crop ・Object-based editing: select, move, resize handles, full undo/redo ・Works without a capture too — open the editor from the toolbar and drop, pick, or paste any image ・"Copy & close" puts the result straight on your clipboard 🗂 Everyday niceties ・Capture history with thumbnails and hover video previews ・Custom filename templates, PNG/JPEG quality settings ・4 global keyboard shortcuts + right-click menu ・Dark mode follows your system; UI in English and Traditional Chinese 🔒 Privacy ・Zero telemetry: no usage data collected, ever ・Zero uploads: there is not a single network request in the codebase ・No account, no login, no paywall, no subscription ・No site access permissions (no host permissions) — acts on the current tab only when you trigger it ・Fully functional offline Free, lightweight (under 100 KB installed).
