Up to 2GB per file. Links work for anyone — no account needed to download. 🔒 ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ENCRYPTION Files are encrypted locally on YOUR device using AES-256-GCM before they ever leave your browser. The server only stores encrypted blobs. Two modes: • Link-key: Random encryption key embedded in the URL fragment (never sent to server) • Password: You set a passphrase — key is derived via PBKDF2 locally. No one can decrypt without it. 📸 SCREENSHOT & AREA CAPTURE Capture your full visible tab or select a specific region. Instantly uploaded and encrypted — share link copied to clipboard. 🎬 PAGE MEDIA SCANNER Scan any webpage for images and videos. Preview them in a grid, select what you want, then download or upload to FileShot in one click. 🖱️ RIGHT-CLICK SHARING Right-click any image, video, link, or selected text to quickly upload or share via FileShot context menu. 🔑 PASSWORD PROTECTION Add an optional password for extra security. The password gates both server access (bcrypt) and client-side decryption (PBKDF2). Green indicator confirms when protection is set. 📋 ALL UPLOADS HISTORY Every upload is saved locally with copy and delete buttons. Collapsible list — find any link you've ever shared. ─── TOOLS BUILT IN ─── Access FileShot's web tools directly from the extension popup: • PDF Editor — annotate, merge, split PDFs • Image Converter — convert between PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF • Video Downloader — extract and download videos from URLs • File Compressor — reduce file sizes • Archive Builder — create ZIP archives • Virus Scanner — scan files with ClamAV • Metadata Scrubber — strip EXIF and other metadata • File Encrypt/Decrypt — standalone AES encryption ─── PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS ─── FileShot only requests what it needs: • activeTab/scripting — interact with current tab for capture & media scan • contextMenus — right-click sharing shortcuts • downloads — reliable file download behavior • storage — save your preferences locally • clipboardWrite — one-click copy share links • tabs — UI support and permission flows Site access is limited to fileshot.io and api.fileshot.io.
