Cyclops – Full Page Screenshot

One eye. The whole page. What's new in 2.2 • Silent mode: the capture is written straight into your folder and copied to the clipboard — no tab opens. If folder access is needed, the save tab opens once; later captures are silent. • Alt+Shift+Q: one-shot silent full-page capture — saved and copied with no tab, without changing the silent-mode setting. • Status strip: every capture reports its result in a one-line strip at the bottom of the page. Short codes (E01–E06, E99) are the same in every language; long messages scroll, or stay still when reduced motion is on. • On pages Chrome closes to extensions (chrome://, the Web Store) the same strip appears as a tiny popup under the icon. • Click the saved path on the save page to copy it to the clipboard. • 23 languages, no new permissions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏛 FIRST, THE STORY Three thousand years ago, on an island at the edge of the wine-dark sea, Odysseus — the original "man of many turns" — crept into a cave that belonged to a cyclops. You probably know how that went: a sharpened stake, a clever false name, an escape under the bellies of sheep. Homer framed it as a triumph. At Polytropos Lab, we always read it a little differently. Because think about what that eye could DO. One glance, and it took in everything — the whole cave, every sheep, every hiding sailor, nothing cropped, nothing missed, nothing "outside the viewport". An eye like that sees the entire picture at once, top to bottom, in a single look. And what was it doing with this gift? Guarding cheese. We decided the story deserved a better ending. So we took the cyclops in, gave it a warm corner of your browser toolbar, and put that magnificent eye to honest work. Now, when you need a page — the WHOLE page, not the sliver on your screen — Cyclops opens its eye once, and everything is captured. Every scroll, every section, every footnote at the bottom that other tools forget exists. One eye. The whole page. Finally, a happy ending. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ WHAT CYCLOPS DOES Click the toolbar icon or press Alt+Shift+S. Cyclops scrolls the page for you — smoothly, automatically, all the way down — stitches every screenful into one seamless, native-resolution image, and writes the finished file straight into a folder you chose on YOUR computer. No save dialog to click through. No cropping guesswork. No "capture, scroll, capture again, and pray you can line them up later". One command, one file, done. It is the difference between photographing a mural one brick at a time and simply stepping back far enough to see it whole. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🆓 THE PART OTHER TOOLS CHARGE FOR Somewhere along the way, screenshot extensions quietly became subscription businesses. You have probably met them. Full-page capture locked behind a "Pro" badge. PDF export as a paid upgrade. A watermark stamped across your free captures like a parking ticket. Daily capture limits that reset just slowly enough to annoy you into paying. Mandatory accounts. Your screenshots uploaded to "the cloud" — which is to say, someone else's computer — where they live on servers you never asked for, governed by a privacy policy you never read. Cyclops does none of this. Read the list slowly; each line is something you may have been asked to pay for elsewhere: • Full-page scrolling capture — free • PDF export (single page AND print-ready A4) — free • Native-resolution PNG — free • Annotation tools — free • Unlimited captures, every day, forever — free • No watermark. Ever. On anything. • No account. No sign-up screen. No newsletter you didn't ask for. • No cloud. Your files never leave your machine. • No trial countdown. No "upgrade to unlock". No Pro tier AT ALL. This is not the free tier of something. This is the whole product, and it is yours. The cyclops spent three millennia being robbed by a clever sailor; it refuses to run that scam on you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📸 THREE CAPTURE MODES, ONE REFLEX FULL PAGE — The signature move. One continuous image from the very top of the page to the very bottom, including every section you would normally scroll to reach. Long articles, dashboards, entire product pages, chat logs, comment threads: captured as a single unbroken image, exactly as the page rendered. VISIBLE AREA — Sometimes you just want what's in front of you. One click captures the current viewport, pixel for pixel, and saves it with the same tidy naming as everything else. SELECT REGION — Drag a rectangle over exactly the part you need: one paragraph, one chart, one suspicious error message. Everything outside your rectangle stays out of the file. Three modes, all one click from the popup, all obeying the same rule: capture instantly, save automatically, never interrupt you with questions you already answered. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💾 SAVING THAT ORGANIZES ITSELF Most screenshot tools treat saving as your problem. Cyclops treats it as the job. CHOOSE YOUR FORMAT. PNG at native resolution when you need pixels. PDF as one long, scrollable page when you want a faithful copy. PDF A4 when the capture is headed for a printer or a formal report — Cyclops splits the page into clean A4 sheets for you. CHOOSE YOUR FOLDER — ONCE. Tell Cyclops where captures belong, and never see a save dialog again. Every capture goes exactly there, every time. DATES DO THE FILING. Inside your folder, captures land in a subfolder named for the day — 2026-08-14 — so a year of screenshots organizes itself into a calendar instead of congealing into a thousand-file soup. NAMES THAT MEAN SOMETHING. Every file is named site + date + time: example.com_2026-08-14_09-15-27.png. Six months from now, you will find the exact capture you need by reading filenames, not by opening forty images called "Screenshot (137)". ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✏️ AFTER THE CAPTURE The capture is rarely the end of the job, so Cyclops keeps working after the shutter.
