Shot!, the screenshooting tool that does less
I take lots of screenshots daily. I use Shottr for that, and I absolutely adore it.
However, there is one use case where Shottr wasn't cutting it for me: capturing website screenshots without the browser UI. I find myself needing a basic PNG screenshot of whatever is showing on my browser, multiple times a day, and Shottr is too much for that.
Since I use Chrome for work, I tried a bunch of extensions in the Chrome Store. I was not happy with any of them: they were either too complex, or too ugly, or too cumbersome to use.
So I did what any self-respected hacker would do, and made my own.
Meet Shot!.
Shot! is the easiest, fastest way to get a PNG file of your browser content.
It is intentionally simple, so it is defined by the things it does not do:
It only supports Chrome (although it may support Firefox and Safari at some point, since the APIs it uses seem to be compatible with all browsers) It only saves screenshots in PNG format The output filename is not customizable The save path cannot be changed: it's your Downloads folder Also, while it says that Full Page support is coming, it may never make it to the extension because I don't really use it that much
If your use case is different, Shot! may not be for you.
Things I may add:
The ability to save a screenshot with only one click on the extension icon Full page capture (once Chrome supports captureTab, probably…) One-click resizing, using buttons instead of a `` Custom presets for sizes
