Free, no account

A free alternative to
Awesome Screenshot

Awesome Screenshot asks you to sign in to save or share and moves the useful limits behind a plan from $4 a month. Here the Chrome extension captures the visible tab or the whole page, opens the same editor and gives a share link with a view counter — free, with no account.

What working on a screenshot looks like

What you get without a plan

01

No account, no plan

Awesome Screenshot needs a sign-in to keep captures in the cloud and counts them against a free quota. Here there is no quota and no sign-in: Upload puts a link in the clipboard.

02

The same extension, plus desktop

Visible area, selected area and the full scrolling page from the Chrome extension, and the same editor in the Windows and macOS apps for anything outside the browser.

03

Editor and link

Arrows, boxes, text, step numbers and blur for an email or a card number, then a short link whose page shows how many times it was opened.

Yes, this one: a Chrome extension plus Windows and macOS apps. Area, window and scrolling full-page capture, arrows, blur, step numbering and a share link with a view counter, free and with no account.
Is the Chrome extension free?
Yes. Capture, editor, clipboard, file and share link are free. There are no plans and no quota on the number of screenshots.
Do I need an account to share a link?
No. The link is created without an account. In Awesome Screenshot cloud storage and sharing require a sign-in.
Can it capture a full web page?
Yes. The extension scrolls the page and stitches it into one tall image, like the full-page capture in Awesome Screenshot.
