Snipsmith — Screen Capture & Screenshot Tool

Modern screen capture with pre-capture masking, annotations & instant export. Region, full page, element picker & more.

Snipsmith is a screen capture tool for Chromium browsers, built around one idea most screenshot tools get wrong: sensitive information should be hidden BEFORE the picture is taken, not blurred out after. ━━━ WHY SNIPSMITH IS DIFFERENT ━━━ Every other screenshot tool blurs sensitive text after the screenshot fires. That means the original pixels — the actual API key, the actual email address, the actual credit card number — exist in a file on your disk, in your clipboard, in your team Slack. A careless edit or accidental delete can reveal them. Snipsmith flips this: you mark what's sensitive first, and the mask is baked into the image at the pixel level when the snapshot is taken. There's no original underneath to leak. ━━━ FREE FEATURES ━━━ - Region capture — drag a box to select any area - Viewport capture — grab whatever's on screen - Full page capture — auto-scroll and stitch the entire page - Delay capture — 3 / 5 / 10 second countdown for menus and hover states - Manual masking — draw black boxes over sensitive text before you capture - In-browser editor — annotate, crop, add shapes and text - Local history — every capture saved to your browser, never uploaded - Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP - Keyboard shortcut Alt+S from any page ━━━ PRO FEATURES ━━━ - Auto-mask — Snipsmith automatically detects and masks emails, API keys, JWTs, credit card numbers, GitHub / Stripe tokens, and UK National Insurance numbers before capture - Element picker — click any DOM node for pixel-perfect crops - Range capture — pick which pages of a long site to capture - Upload destinations — Imgur, Google Drive, or your own custom URL - Extended history — 30 days or 1 year retention (versus 7 days on Free) - Priority email support Pro is £2.99/month, £24/year, or £99 lifetime.
