About FreePaint — Screenshot Capture & Annotate
Take a screenshot of any tab and start marking it up straight away. No
account, no upload, no watermark.
Capture the part you actually want
- Drag to select any region of the page.
- Hold Shift and the page lights up piece by piece. Click a card, a table or
a chart and it comes away along its own edges, trimmed to what is actually
drawn rather than the blank box the layout reserved around it. Keep Shift
down to gather several in one pass.
- Press Enter for the whole visible area.
- Right-click any image on a page to annotate it at its original resolution,
not the size the page happened to display it at.
Collect from several tabs onto one canvas
Most screenshot tools give you one shot in one editor. FreePaint keeps a
canvas open and every new capture lands on it, so you can walk through five
tabs, grab a shot from each, and lay them out side by side before you
annotate a single one. The toolbar icon counts what you have gathered while
you were away from the canvas.
This is the part that saves real time on bug reports that span several pages,
competitor comparisons, and step-by-step guides.
Annotate
Arrows, boxes, ovals, freehand pen, text, numbered steps, highlighter and a
spotlight that dims everything except the bit that matters. Cover up anything
private with mosaic, blur or a solid bar. Crop, scale, align to guides, then
copy to the clipboard or export a PNG.
Your screenshots never leave your computer
There is no server to send them to. Images are decoded, edited and exported
entirely inside your browser. The extension asks for no access to any
website — it can only ever see the one tab you just told it to capture, and
only at that moment.
No sign-in. No capture limit. No paid tier.
Keyboard shortcuts
- Alt+Shift+S — capture a region
- Alt+Shift+V — capture the visible area
- Alt+Shift+E — open the canvas
Change them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Also on the web
The same editor runs at freepaint.app if you would rather paste a screenshot
into a tab than install anything.
