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 Visible Screenshot - Copy to Clipboard, Save PNG, Capture Visible Tab
Press Ctrl+Shift+8 (Cmd+Shift+8 on Mac) and the visible part of the tab is on your clipboard as a PNG, ready to paste into Slack, Gmail, Google Docs, Jira, or an AI chat. Press Ctrl+Shift+9 (Cmd+Shift+9) to save it as a PNG file instead. No editor window to close, no upload, no account.
What it does
- Captures exactly what you see in the current tab - the page itself, without the address bar or tabs
- Copy: paste the image straight into chat, email, docs, issue trackers, or AI tools
- Save: a timestamped PNG lands in your download folder
- A small on-page message confirms that it worked. If a page is off-limits, the toolbar icon shows "!" and the popup explains why
Shortcuts
- Ctrl + Shift + 8 (Cmd + Shift + 8 on Mac) - capture and copy
- Ctrl + Shift + 9 (Cmd + Shift + 9 on Mac) - capture and download
Change them any time at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Prefer clicking? The toolbar button opens a popup with the same two actions.
Privacy and permissions
The extension makes no network requests: no server, no analytics, no third-party code. Your image goes to your clipboard or your disk and nowhere else. It asks only for what it needs:
- activeTab - access only the tab you are looking at, and only when you press the shortcut or click the button
- downloads - save the PNG to your download folder
- scripting - show the confirmation on the page and write the image from the page
- clipboardWrite - let the keyboard shortcut place the image on your clipboard
- storage - remember the last error and a count of successful screenshots, on your device only
Languages
English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Indonesian.
Note
Chrome blocks every extension on its own pages, such as chrome:// pages and the Chrome Web Store. Full-page (scrolling) capture is intentionally left out - this tool is for the visible area only.
