CHROME SCREENSHOT EXTENSION BETA

Capture the area.Keep the sequence.

ScreenCrate is built for the second, third, and sixth screenshot—not only the first. Select exact visible regions from regular webpages, keep every original separate, and arrange the set around one task.

01 / REGION CAPTURE

A screenshot tool designed for related screens.

A conventional screenshot flow ends with one file. ScreenCrate keeps the capture tray open for the full task, so a responsive state, component variant, and error message can stay together without being flattened.

ACTIVATE 01

Use the action or shortcut.

Start from the active regular webpage. Chrome lets you configure the command from its extension shortcuts page.

SELECT 02

Draw the exact visible region.

The overlay captures the area you confirm from the current viewport, not the entire page and not protected browser UI.

ORGANIZE 03

Repeat until the task is clear.

Preview, rename, reorder, and remove captures while each item stays a separate PNG original.

02 / WHAT THE BETA DOES

Small capture surface. Useful task context.

The beta is intentionally scoped to explicit browser actions. It does not present planned desktop, cloud, or full-page features as if they already exist.

MULTI-CAPTURE QUEUE

One task can contain as many relevant regions as needed.

The product is not designed around a fixed four-image demo. Practical per-file and batch limits still apply.

ORIGINALS, NOT COLLAGES

Every selected area remains independently useful.

Reordering changes the visual narrative without baking labels or compression into one stitched image.

OPTIONAL ELEMENT CONTEXT

Select an element when implementation detail matters.

ScreenCrate can prepare bounded HTML, computed CSS, design tokens, and asset references alongside the visual capture.

AI DESTINATIONS

Prepare originals for the chat you already use.

Separate beta adapters target ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity. You verify attachments and press Send.

03 / CAPTURE BOUNDARIES

Clear about what Chrome can and cannot capture.

A browser extension operates inside browser security boundaries. ScreenCrate makes those boundaries part of the product, not a footnote.

Visible regular webpage areaSUPPORTED

Select a region from content rendered in the active tab after you explicitly activate capture.

Full-page scrolling captureNOT SHIPPED

The beta does not stitch an entire scrolling document. It captures confirmed regions from the visible viewport.

Chrome UI and protected pagesBLOCKED

Chrome does not allow this workflow to capture its toolbar, Web Store pages, or certain protected surfaces.

Desktop applicationsNOT SHIPPED

Native application capture requires a separate desktop companion with explicit operating-system permission.

04 / FAQ

Before you install.

Can I change the screenshot shortcut?

Yes. The extension reads the command Chrome has actually assigned. Shortcut availability can vary by operating system and conflicts with other extensions.

Does it capture the whole webpage automatically?

No. The current beta captures the visible region you select. It does not perform full-page scrolling and stitching.

Where do captures stay before I use them?

The capture queue is local in the browser by default. Nothing is attached to an AI destination until you choose that action.

Can it capture another desktop window?

Not in the Chrome extension. Desktop capture is a separate future product surface and would require explicit system permission.

Capture every region that belongs to the task.

Build an ordered visual set from a real webpage workflow, while keeping the original files and final delivery under your control.
