Snipsmith — Screen Capture & Screenshot Tool

Snipsmith is a screen capture tool for Chromium browsers, built around one idea most screenshot tools get wrong: sensitive information should be hidden BEFORE the picture is taken, not blurred out after. ━━━ WHY SNIPSMITH IS DIFFERENT ━━━ Every other screenshot tool blurs sensitive text after the screenshot fires. That means the original pixels — the actual API key, the actual email address, the actual credit card number — exist in a file on your disk, in your clipboard, in your team Slack. A careless edit or accidental delete can reveal them. Snipsmith flips this: you mark what's sensitive first, and the mask is baked into the image at the pixel level when the snapshot is taken. There's no original underneath to leak. ━━━ FREE FEATURES ━━━ - Region capture — drag a box to select any area - Viewport capture — grab whatever's on screen - Full page capture — auto-scroll and stitch the entire page - Delay capture — 3 / 5 / 10 second countdown for menus and hover states - Manual masking — draw black boxes over sensitive text before you capture - In-browser editor — annotate, crop, add shapes and text - Local history — every capture saved to your browser, never uploaded - Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP - Keyboard shortcut Alt+S from any page ━━━ PRO FEATURES ━━━ - Auto-mask — Snipsmith automatically detects and masks emails, API keys, JWTs, credit card numbers, GitHub / Stripe tokens, and UK National Insurance numbers before capture - Element picker — click any DOM node for pixel-perfect crops - Range capture — pick which pages of a long site to capture - Upload destinations — Imgur, Google Drive, or your own custom URL - Extended history — 30 days or 1 year retention (versus 7 days on Free) - Priority email support Pro is £2.99/month, £24/year, or £99 lifetime. Each licence works on up to 3 browsers or computers. ━━━ PRIVACY BY DESIGN ━━━ - Everything runs locally on your device - Captures are stored in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local) - Nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else, unless you explicitly click an upload export - No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry - Auditable — the extension is Manifest V3, you can inspect every line of JavaScript in chrome://extensions ━━━ WHO IT'S FOR ━━━ - Developers who screenshot code, terminals, DevTools panels - Support engineers who capture ticket contexts without leaking customer data - Product managers who screenshot dashboards without leaking numbers - Anyone who's ever hit "send" and then realized there was a token in the corner ━━━ TECHNICAL DETAILS ━━━ - Manifest V3 (modern Chrome extension architecture) - Works on all Chromium browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera - Requires Chrome 116 or newer - Total size under 500 KB installed - No external dependencies at runtime ━━━ SUPPORT ━━━ - Documentation: https://snipsmith.app - Support: support@snipsmith.app - Privacy Policy: https://snipsmith.app/privacy - Terms: https://snipsmith.app/terms
