SnapGIF – Screenshot, Screen Recorder & GIF Maker

Capture screenshots (area, visible, full page), record tab/area/desktop, annotate, trim and export GIF, MP4 or WebM. 100% local.

Take a screenshot, record your screen, and turn it into a GIF without leaving Chrome. SnapGIF works entirely on your computer: no account, no uploads, no tracking. SCREENSHOTS • Select an area: drag over any part of the page, then adjust the box before you capture. • Scrolling area: select an area taller than the screen. The page scrolls and the parts are stitched together. • Visible part: capture exactly what you see. • Delayed capture: wait 3, 5 or 10 seconds so menus and hover states can open first. • Full page: scrolls and stitches the whole page, even very long ones. Stop at any time and keep what was captured. • Screen or window: capture another app or your whole desktop. • Optional page address and date above page screenshots, and standard-size screenshots on high-density displays. SCREEN RECORDING • Record the current tab, a region of it, or your whole screen or a window. • Include tab audio and your microphone. • Countdown, pause and resume, and a small control bar that stays out of the recording. • Optional cursor highlight, click ripples and pressed-key labels, handy for tutorials and bug reports. ANNOTATE • Arrows, lines, rectangles, ellipses, callouts, text, pen and highlighter. • Text in four font styles, with an optional background. Emoji stickers and inserted images. • Numbered steps for walkthroughs, with restart numbering. • Blur passwords, emails and other private details. • Resize, and add frames (shadow, rounded corners, caption) and watermarks. • Adjustable opacity, and a custom colour picker that keeps recent colours. • Crop, undo and redo. Your edits are saved, so you can come back later. • Export as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, print, or copy straight to the clipboard. TRIM AND EXPORT • Trim the start and end, crop the frame, and preview before saving. • Export as GIF, MP4 or WebM. • Optimised GIFs: unchanged pixels and duplicate frames are skipped to keep files small. LIBRARY • Every capture is kept in a local library, so you can reopen, edit, download or delete it. • Paste or drop images to import them, several at once. Download as PDF or print. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Alt+Shift+A: select an area • Alt+Shift+V: visible part of the page • Alt+Shift+F: full page • Alt+Shift+R: start or stop recording the tab Change them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Delayed visible capture and pause/resume have no default key; assign them there. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Screenshots and recordings never leave your computer. SnapGIF has no servers, no analytics and no sign-in. It asks for access to a page only when you capture it. Note: Chrome does not allow extensions to capture its own pages (chrome://, the Chrome Web Store) or some protected video.
