Site Dossier

Collect websites, images and screenshots with notes and tags in a local reference folder for you and your agents.

Collect design references from the web, with context for you and your agents. Save websites, images, screenshots and details worth keeping. Add what you like, what to avoid, and which project a reference belongs to. Site Dossier stores the evidence and your notes together in a folder you choose. COLLECT ACROSS TABS Keep the collection side panel open while browsing. Drag in images, paste a copied image, add a direct image link, or use the image’s right-click collection action. Collect references from several pages before saving the batch. • Screenshot captures the visible page. • Rectangle lets you draw around a detail on the page. • Crop refines an image already in your tray. • Add a project name, tags and a category to the batch, plus a note for each image. • Choose a suggested category, type your own, or leave references in Inbox for later. Your tray survives closing the panel and restarting Chrome. Successfully saved references leave the tray; failed saves stay available for retry. CAPTURE A WEBSITE OR ELEMENT • Page / Auto records a scrolling video and takes screenshots as the page scrolls for you. • Page / Manual records menus, transitions and visible interactions across page loads and reloads in the same tab, including other websites. Stop from the page control or popup; the whole recording has a three-minute limit. Each visited document keeps its own available page snapshot, and the final page is scrolled once for a full-page image after Stop. • Selection / Elements saves individual elements or several selected details, with image crops, a context image, coordinates, and available structure and computed styles. • Selection / Rectangle saves a still image of an area and its position. The selection panel stays open between saves. Selected browser animations are held where supported, making moving details easier to capture. KEEP YOUR REASONS Mark the aspects you like: colors, typography, layout, spacing, imagery, motion, interactions or small details. Add notes about what to borrow or avoid. These choices are optional; unchecked aspects are unspecified, not disliked. Website capture forms are remembered separately for each page, including after capture, popup closure and tab changes. Return for a manual recording or another selection without filling the form again. ONE FOLDER FOR YOUR REFERENCES Choose one destination for all capture modes. Repeated captures of the exact same page go into its existing folder, even on another day. Each pass keeps its own files and notes; earlier captures are preserved. Collected images save with readable Markdown notes, JSON metadata, source links, project names, tags and categories. Website bundles include JPEG screenshots, WebM video, video stills and a contact sheet when decoding succeeds, a best-effort HTML snapshot and sampled design tokens. Auto and the final Manual page can include full-page screenshots and readable tiles. Earlier documents in a continuous Manual recording use visible-viewport snapshots, with separate URLs, evidence files and video offsets in a page index. The recording stays in the starting page’s bundle. Point an agent to your folder and its included reading guides. Your stated reasons help it distinguish a detail you like from the rest of a reference. The guides are portable files, not an automatic agent connection. LOCAL BY DEFAULT No account, analytics or developer-operated upload service. Your references stay in the folder you choose. Image links are requested directly from their source hosts. Any cloud-folder sync follows your own storage settings. GOOD TO KNOW Use desktop Chrome 116 or newer. Site access supports collection across tabs. Opening the collection panel or switching tabs does not start a capture. An active Manual recording continues in its original tab until Stop or the time limit; it does not switch to another tab you activate. Some sites block image downloads; use a screenshot or rectangle instead. Images support PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF, up to 20 MB each. Cropping a GIF saves a still PNG. Keep the captured page active until saving finishes. Page recording and automatic screenshot passes each have a three-minute limit. Very long pages, custom scrolling and canvas content can produce partial captures. Saved HTML and element evidence are references, not complete offline sites or ready-to-use components.
