HushshotFull-page screenshots that never leave your computer
Capture whole web pages in sharp 2× to 4× quality. Save them as PNG or a searchable PDF, crop them, and copy their text, even from images.
Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store. Until then, the download adds to Chrome in a minute.
Three steps, one click each
Click the icon
Or press ⌥⇧F (Alt+Shift+F). Capture the full page, just what's visible, an area you drag, or one element.
Watch it capture
The page scrolls on its own and the toolbar icon counts up. Cookie banners and chat bubbles stay out of the picture.
Save or copy
Download a PNG or PDF, copy the image or its text, or crop it first. Files go straight to your Downloads folder.
Clean captures, even on hard pages
Built for long articles, documentation, dashboards and app pages that scroll inside a panel.
The whole page, without the clutter
Sticky headers appear once instead of down every screen. Cookie banners and chat bubbles are left out, lazy-loading images are loaded first, and scrollbars are hidden. The page you're reading isn't changed.
Sharp, not stretched
Sharp mode draws the page again at 2×, 3× or 4× the pixels, so text and charts stay crisp when you zoom in or print. Long pages are stitched with no seams and no repeated rows.
Crop with handles
See the whole capture, then drag the edges or corners. Drag to the edge of the window and the page scrolls with you, so even very long pages are easy to trim. Every download and copy uses the crop.
Text from anything
Copy all the text in one click, or drag a box to copy just part of it. Text inside pictures and charts is read on your computer, and saved PDFs are searchable in any viewer.
PDF pages that fit
A4, Letter or Legal, every page the same width, breaks between lines of text, never through them.
Page address and date
Optionally print where and when a page was captured at the bottom of every PDF page.
Area and element
Drag a rectangle, or click a part of the page and use the arrow keys to widen or narrow it.
App pages
Pages that scroll inside a panel, like Gmail or Notion, are captured from top to bottom.
Pinch to zoom
Zoom the result with your trackpad, the slider or the keyboard, from the whole page down to single pixels.
Keyboard friendly
Shortcuts to capture from any tab, and ⌘S, ⌘C and ⌘⇧C on the result page.
Private by design, and tested to stay that way
Hushshot makes no network requests. There's no account, no analytics and no upload, and everything it needs, including the text-recognition model, is inside the extension.
Every change runs automated tests that record each request the extension makes and fail if anything tries to leave your computer. The code is open source (MIT licence) and on GitHub for anyone to read.

FAQ
Why does Chrome say the extension is "debugging" the tab?
That's how Sharp mode works. It asks Chrome to draw the page again at a higher resolution, which uses Chrome's debugging interface. The bar appears only while a capture runs and closes when it ends. If you'd rather not see it, turn Sharp mode off in Settings; captures then use your screen's resolution.
Why does Chrome warn that it can "read and change all your data"?
Sharp mode uses Chrome's debugger permission, and Chrome's install dialog describes everything that permission could allow. Hushshot only attaches it to the tab you're capturing, only during the capture you started, and makes no network requests. You can turn Sharp mode off in Settings.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Captures, text recognition and file exports all happen on your computer. The extension doesn't make network requests at all, and its automated tests check that on every change.
Where are my files saved?
In your Downloads folder, inside a Hushshot folder. You can change the folder and the file name pattern in Settings.
A page didn't capture correctly. What can I try?
For app pages that scroll inside a panel, use Pick scroll area… in the popup. If parts repeat or look odd, try Settings → Advanced → Method → Compatibility mode. Chrome doesn't allow extensions to capture its own pages (like chrome:// pages or the Web Store).
Does it work in other browsers?
It's built and tested for Google Chrome. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge and Brave may work but aren't tested.
Is it really free?
Yes. Everything on this page is free, with no limits, no watermark and no account, and it stays free. An optional Pro upgrade with extra tools is in the works. It won't take anything away from the free version.
