Features

Everything you need to show what you see

A screen recorder, a screenshot tool and an image editor in one light extension, sharing one private library.

Screen recorder with sound

Record a tab, a window or your whole screen. Add your microphone, the tab’s or the computer’s sound, and a webcam bubble you can move while you record.

Full-page screenshots

One click scrolls the page, stitches every part together and puts the page back exactly as it was. Sticky headers appear once and lazy images load first.

Area, element or what’s on screen

Drag a box and scroll to make it taller, click a single element, or grab the visible part of the page, with an optional 3, 5 or 10 second delay.

Annotate in seconds

Arrows, shapes, text, a highlighter, numbered steps and symbols. Every mark stays editable, with up to 100 steps of undo.

Blur, pixelate or redact

Hide emails, faces and card numbers before you share. A solid redaction box is flattened into the exported pixels, so it can’t be peeled back.

Turn clips into GIFs

Pick the moment, choose a width and a frame rate, and get a small looping GIF, made entirely on your computer.

Backgrounds and browser frames

Place a capture on a gradient with padding, rounded corners, a soft shadow and a browser frame, sized for social posts or slides.

A library that stays organised

Search by page title, site or tag, sort captures into collections, mark favourites and find duplicates. Videos and screenshots live side by side.

Export the way you need

Download an image or a multi-page PDF, copy to the clipboard, or export a whole selection as a ZIP. Recordings are saved as MP4 or WebM.

Take the tour

From capture to share in under a minute

Every part of FrameShot is a click away from the toolbar. Here’s what you’ll find inside.

A screen recorder that simply works

Choose what to share in Chrome’s own picker, check your sound on the live meter and start after a short countdown. Pause whenever you need to: the pauses are left out of the video.

  • A tab, a window or your entire screen
  • Microphone, tab sound and system sound in one track
  • Webcam bubble in any corner, resizable while you record
  • From 720p up to 4K, at 15, 30 or 60 frames per second
Full-page screenshots

The whole page, top to bottom, in one image

Screenshot keys stop at the edge of your screen. FrameShot scrolls the page for you, captures each part at your screen’s full sharpness and stitches them into one seamless image.

  • Sticky and fixed headers shown once, not on every slice
  • Lazy images and endless feeds loaded before the capture
  • Pages that scroll inside a panel captured correctly
  • Very long pages split into full-resolution parts, or scaled into one
  • Your scroll position and the page restored afterwards

Screen recorder

Record your screen with sound and camera

Make a walkthrough, a bug report or a lesson without installing an app. FrameShot records right in Chrome and keeps the video on your computer.

A Chrome tab

Records the tab’s own sound on every system. Keep “Also share tab audio” on.

Entire screen

Records computer sound on Windows and ChromeOS, and on macOS 14.2+ with Chrome 141+.

One window

Chrome never shares a window’s sound, so FrameShot tells you before you start.

  • Countdown of 3, 5 or 10 seconds, or none
  • Pause and resume, with the pauses left out
  • Saved in pieces as you go, so a crash doesn’t lose your take
  • Download as MP4 or WebM, or save a frame as a screenshot

Privacy tools

Blur it, pixelate it, or black it out

Blur and pixelation work well for faces and background details. For passwords, card numbers and anything that must stay secret, use a solid redaction box. It is flattened into the exported pixels, so the hidden text simply isn’t in the file.

  • Drag the slider to compare the original and the shared version
  • The original stays in your library so you can keep editing
  • Apply edits permanently when the original should go too

Why FrameShot

Why people choose FrameShot

It was built around one idea: a capture tool should help you share what’s on your screen, and never take anything from you in return.

Free, with nothing held back

There is no paid plan to upgrade to. Every feature, including 4K recording, GIF export and PDF, is free for everyone, with no watermark and no trial timer.

Private by design

No accounts and no servers. FrameShot’s pages block network connections, so your captures can’t leave your computer unless you download or copy them.

Accurate, complete captures

Full-page captures are checked for gaps, sticky headers are handled, and very long pages are split into full-resolution parts instead of being cut off.

One tool instead of three

Recorder, screenshot tool and image editor in one extension with one library. Capture, mark up and export without switching apps.

Works offline

Everything runs inside Chrome on your computer, so FrameShot works the same on a plane, on a train or on a slow connection.

Asks for very little

FrameShot sees a page only after you start a capture on it, and turns on your camera or microphone only when you switch them on.

What you’ll never get:
  • Uploads
  • Accounts
  • Watermarks
  • Ads
  • Tracking
  • Paywalls

Your screen is nobody else’s business

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Message the developer on Telegram.

Is FrameShot really free?

Yes. Every feature is free for everyone: full-page screenshots, screen recording up to 4K, the editor, GIF export and PDF. There is no paid plan, no trial, no watermark and no sign-up. If you want to help, you can rate it or support the project, but that unlocks nothing extra.

Does FrameShot upload my screenshots or recordings?

No. FrameShot has no servers and makes no network requests. Its pages run under a security policy that blocks network connections, so your files stay in your browser until you download or copy them. It works offline too.

How do I take a full-page screenshot in Chrome?

Click the FrameShot icon and choose Full page, or press Alt+Shift+F (Option+Shift+F on a Mac). FrameShot scrolls the page, captures each part, stitches them into one image and restores your scroll position. The result opens in the editor. Our full-page screenshot guide covers tricky pages too.

Can I record my screen with sound?

Yes. Sharing a Chrome tab records that tab’s sound on every system. Sharing your entire screen records the computer’s sound on Windows and ChromeOS, and on macOS 14.2 or later with Chrome 141 or later. You can add your microphone to any recording, and FrameShot mixes everything into one track.

Why is my screen recording silent?

Sound is shared by Chrome, not by the extension, so it depends on what you pick in Chrome’s dialog. Keep Also share tab audio on for a tab, or tick Also share system audio for your entire screen. A single window never includes sound in Chrome. FrameShot shows a live sound meter and warns you as soon as a recording has no sound. See how to record your screen with audio.

Can I show my webcam while recording?

Yes. Turn on the camera and your face appears in a round bubble in the corner of the video. You can choose the corner and the size, and change them while recording.

Is there a time limit on recordings?

FrameShot sets no time limit. Recordings are saved in small pieces while you record, so their length is limited only by the storage space Chrome can use on your computer. If Chrome closes unexpectedly, FrameShot offers to recover the recording. GIF exports cover up to 60 seconds of a recording.

Which file formats can I save?

Screenshots download as PNG, JPEG or WebP images, or as a PDF in A4, Letter or the image’s own size. You can also copy them to the clipboard, combine several into one PDF, or export a selection as a ZIP. Recordings are saved as MP4 or WebM, and any part of one can become a GIF.

How do I hide passwords or personal details in a screenshot?

Open the capture in the editor and use Redact (solid) for passwords, card numbers and anything that must stay secret. Blur and Pixelate are fine for faces or background details, but they can sometimes be reversed for short text. All three are flattened into the exported file. Read more in our redaction guide.

Can I capture only part of a page?

Yes. Selected area lets you drag a box, adjust it with handles or arrow keys, and scroll to extend it past the screen. Element highlights parts of the page as you hover, and ↑/↓ moves to the parent or child element. There’s also Visible area, with an optional 3, 5 or 10 second delay to open a menu first.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

By default: Alt+Shift+V visible area, Alt+Shift+F full page, Alt+Shift+A selected area and Alt+Shift+E element. You can add shortcuts for recording, the library and more, or change any of them, at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

What permissions does FrameShot need, and why?

Only a few. activeTab and scripting let it capture the page you’re on, and only after you start a capture. storage and unlimitedStorage keep your library on your computer, downloads saves your files, contextMenus adds the right-click menu and offscreen plays the shutter and countdown sounds. FrameShot has no permanent access to any website.

Why can’t I capture some pages?

Chrome doesn’t let any extension capture its own pages, such as chrome:// settings, the Chrome Web Store or other extensions. FrameShot tells you when that’s the case. You can still record them by sharing a window or your entire screen in the screen recorder.

Does FrameShot work offline?

Yes. Capturing, recording, editing and exporting all happen inside Chrome on your computer, so FrameShot works the same without an internet connection.

Which browsers and systems are supported?

FrameShot is made for Google Chrome, version 116 or later, on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Other browsers based on Chromium that install extensions from the Chrome Web Store may work, but they aren’t officially tested.

Where are my files stored, and how do I delete them?

In your browser’s own storage for FrameShot, on your computer. Delete single items in the library, or use Settings → Storage → Clear all local data to remove everything. Uninstalling FrameShot also removes all of its data. Files you already downloaded stay yours.

Does FrameShot add a watermark?

Never. Your screenshots, PDFs, videos and GIFs contain only what you captured.

How can I support FrameShot?

The best help is free: rate FrameShot on the Chrome Web Store and tell a friend or colleague about it. Bug reports and ideas are welcome on Telegram. If you’d like to donate, the support page has the details.
