Paginaut

Screenshot & screen record: desktop, full page & region capture, OCR, QR, annotate, aspect ratio, transliteration. Free.

Paginaut is a productivity extension that combines screenshot tools and text tools in one lightweight package. ** WHAT'S NEW** * Screen record: new tool to record screen, window, or tab via Chrome’s share picker. * Video editor: on the screen-record setup screen, Video editor opens the preview without recording. Drop or choose a WebM file in the video area, then trim and save the same way as a new recording. * Image layer in annotation editor: Image layer in annotation editor: add a local image as a movable/resizable overlay (toolbar Image, or paste / drop onto a loaded preview). * Blur apply-to in annotation editor: each blur layer can target the Screenshot (default — redact the base shot, annotations stay sharp on top) or Below (blur everything already drawn under that layer, including image overlays). SCREENSHOT TOOLS Unified preview window for all screenshot captures: format, quality, copy, save. Post-capture crop in preview (current screen, full page single image, region). Save as PNG, JPG, or WEBP. Copy image directly to clipboard. Reset image restores the original capture. Current Screen * Capture current viewport (visible part of the page on the screen) Full page * Capture entire page (default) scroll-stitch capture (no debugger). * Very tall pages may save as multiple numbered PNGs to Downloads with an in-extension preview (multipart mode; crop applies to the preview thumbnail only for copy/save of that preview) Region selection * Capture Selected Region by drawing a crop area, resize with handles, move selection, ✓ / ✕ on the crop box; Image annotator * Open a local image (file picker, drag-and-drop, or paste) into the same preview editor—crop, annotate, Save/Copy without capturing a tab. TEXT TOOLS Local OCR flow using bundled assets (Tesseract), Save extracted / decoded text as .txt , Copy extracted / decoded text to clipboard. Text Grab (OCR) * Select any on-screen region; (same drag-to-select flow as region capture) * extract text locally with bundled Tesseract. * Copy to clipboard or save as .txt QR code reader * Box a QR on the page; decode locally with bundled jsQR. Copy or save the payload as text. Toggle in Options like OCR. Character count * Live stats: words, characters, paragraphs, lines, whitespace, UTF-8 size, reading time. Optional clipboard pre-fill when opening from the popup. Change case * Transform text to UPPERCASE, lowercase, Sentence case, Title Case, or Toggle case. Copy the result in one click. Toggle in Options. Transliteration * Convert between Latin and Cyrillic with automatic script detection or manual target selection—ideal for bilingual workflows. CUSTOMIZATION * Page context menu: right-click on a page → Paginaut submenu with the same enabled tools and order as the popup (from Options layout and feature flags) * Popup layout: drag-and-drop tool order in Options (Favorites, Screenshot, Text columns) with the same per-tool enable/disable checkboxes as before * Feature flags in Options page (enable/disable each major feature) UI LOCALIZATION Language override in Options (Auto/browser, English, Serbian) PRIVACY-FIRST BEHAVIOR * Processing is performed locally inside the extension (full page defaults to scroll-based stitching; optional legacy CDP path — no cloud screenshot service) * The extension’s features do not require internet for their own operation (opening a live website is separate) * User explicitly triggers all capture and processing actions
