The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About OpenCapture
Free screen capture for Chrome. Everything stays on your device — no account, no cloud, no telemetry.
CAPTURE FIVE WAYS
• Visible area — grab the current viewport in one click.
• Selected area — drag a rectangle to capture exactly what you want.
• Full page — auto-scroll and stitch a whole page into one image.
• Desktop screenshot — capture any screen, window, or browser tab via Chrome's native picker.
• Video recording — record a screen, window, or tab to a local .webm or .mp4 file, with optional microphone audio.
ANNOTATE FAST
A built-in editor opens after every screenshot. Tools: arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, freehand pen, text, highlighter, blur (for hiding sensitive info), numbered step markers, and crop. Color palette, adjustable stroke, undo/redo, zoom, copy-to-clipboard, and PNG download. Fully keyboard-operable.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
OpenCapture makes zero network requests. No data is collected, uploaded, or tracked — ever. No "sign in to continue," no upgrade nags, no shareable cloud links by design. Your captures stay on your machine. Full privacy policy: https://idlehumans.ai/opencapture/privacy
WHO IT'S FOR
Developers, designers, support engineers, product managers — anyone who screenshots many times a day and needs the result to look right on the first try, without fiddling.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Full-page capture follows the main browser scroll. A few apps that scroll inside their own panel rather than the window (some single-page web apps) may capture only the visible area on a full-page attempt. Visible-area, selected-area, desktop screenshot, and video recording are unaffected.
• Protected pages (chrome://, the Chrome Web Store, and other internal pages) can't be captured by any extension; the popup tells you when a page can't be captured.
• Saved files go to your normal Downloads folder. There are no cloud links — by design (see Privacy).
