Live preview Ready for your screenshot
Your browser needs canvas support to display the interactive screenshot preview.

The complete image is fitted inside the frame—this preview never center-crops your screenshot.

New · GIF & video recording

Record it. Finish it in Framer.

Right-click to start recording, click three mascot drafts open on camera, try three backgrounds in the editor, then walk away with a named MP4.

Two more ways to start

Alongside browser recording, capture any region of a page or turn highlighted text into a typography quote card.

01 · Screenshot capture

Right-click → drag → framed result

Selection overlay → editor tab opens with your shot already framed, ready to tweak and ship.

02 · Quote framer New

Highlight text → typography quote card

Pick from five fonts, drop in a backdrop, and the source URL is baked into the caption for you.

New editor workflow

Shape the post, not just the screenshot.

The current editor turns one capture into browser mockups, feed cards, stories, short-video covers and carousels—with direct control over the outer canvas.

You're Stuck In This Loop

Sound familiar?

Brain Goes Blank

When you need a screenshot fast for presentations or social media, your brain just stops working.

Bookmark Folder Trap

You bookmark tool websites but forget them next week. Even your notes app doesn't help.

30+ Minutes Wasted

Raw screenshots look unprofessional. Photoshop takes forever. Paid tools are expensive and overfeature.

Tool Name Amnesia

You finally find a good tool. Next week? Can't remember its name. Start all over again.

Just Right-Click

Screenshot Framer works exactly how you need it to work.

1

Right-Click

Capture an area or visible tab, create a quote card, or record a 3, 5 or 10 second interaction.

2

Customize

Pick a frame, swap backgrounds, set the URL — all in one tab.

3

Share

Copy to clipboard, export PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF or SVG up to 8K — or share to 13 platforms instantly.

Every feature, in one extension

Capture, frame, customize, annotate, export, share — without ever leaving Chrome.

01 · Capture

Start from any browser moment

Capture a region or viewport, record a short interaction, or turn highlighted text into a quote card.

Right-click area capture

Drag-to-select any region on any website. Pixel-precise crop with an instant editor tab.

Capture visible tab

One click preserves the complete visible browser viewport—no selection rectangle and no destructive center crop.

Quote-text framer New

Highlight text, right-click, and turn the selection into a typography-styled quote card with the source URL.

Record GIF / video New

Pick 3, 5 or 10 seconds from the right-click menu. The clip opens in the editor for backgrounds, playback speed and MP4, WebM or GIF export.

02 · Frame

Browser polish and social-ready layouts

Every option is a visual preview card: frameless, macOS light and dark, or one of six original social formats.

macOS light + dark

Realistic browser chrome with traffic lights and an editable address bar, available in light and dark variants.

Six original social frames

Photo Feed, Micro Post, Professional Update, Story, Short Video and Carousel—familiar formats without platform branding or copied assets.

Preview before you choose

Every frame is shown as a selectable preview card with its suggested 4:3, 1:1 or 9:16 ratio.

Editable post details

Set the name, handle, caption, professional role and carousel count. Add the MacBook menu bar or a custom browser URL when needed.

03 · Customize

Tune every pixel without leaving the tab

Aspect ratios, direct canvas-edge resizing, content sizing, gradients, patterns, wallpapers and rulers—inside one tabbed control card.

Aspect-ratio presets

Auto, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 and MacBook (3024×1964) — plus a free-form custom input that accepts 16:9 or 1280x720.

Content size + canvas edges

Scale content from 5%–100%, then drag any outer canvas edge independently. The background changes while the screenshot keeps its rendered size.

Backgrounds, every flavor

Curated gradients, 13 pattern fills, an Auto palette sampled from your screenshot, 21 local macOS- and Windows-inspired wallpapers, plus your own image or URL.

Edge rulers

Word-style horizontal and vertical rulers across the canvas — ticks every 10/50/100 px, labels at major marks. Toggleable from the panel.

04 · Annotate

Mark it up, redact what shouldn't ship, sign your work

A full ten-tool annotation toolbar, draw-to-redact for hiding sensitive info, snapshot undo, and a custom watermark.

10-tool annotation toolbar

Rectangle, diamond, ellipse, arrow, line, pen/freehand, text, step counter, insert image, eraser — plus a color chip and Clear All. Keyboard-driven.

Draw-to-redact

Drag anywhere on the canvas to draw blur or solid blocks over sensitive info — emails, API keys, account numbers, faces. Click a block to remove it.

Undo, 50 steps deep

Ctrl/⌘ + Z steps back through every shape, label and redaction. Snapshots are taken before a tool commits, so the eraser is undoable too.

Custom watermark

Your text, opacity, four corner placements (TL/TR/BL/BR). Persists across exports so your work stays credited.

05 · Export

Ship the format your destination wants

Stills as PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF or SVG; recordings as MP4, WebM or GIF. Image quality presets run from 1× to 8K, or a custom width.

Images + recordings

Export stills as PNG, JPG or WebP, and finished browser recordings as MP4, WebM or GIF.

PDF · SVG · Print

Single-page PDF with embedded JPEG via DCTDecode (zero external dependency). SVG vector container with embedded PNG. ⌘P print mode.

1× → 8K + custom width

1× display, 2× Retina, 4K (3840 px), 8K (7680 px), or any width you type (100–16000 px). Same options for Copy and Download.

Quality slider

Independent JPG / WebP quality slider from 50% to 100%. PNG always ships lossless at quality 1.0.

06 · Share

One click into the platform you're posting on

Image copied to clipboard, compose flow opened — thirteen destinations covered, from X to Discord to Email.

Copy to clipboard

One click → PNG / JPG / WebP on your clipboard. Falls back to PNG if the browser refuses the chosen MIME.

What People Are Saying

This actually looks pretty clean for something automated. Might actually save this for later.

I keep a bookmark folder with all the free tools but still forget to check it in a rush. The right-click workflow is exactly what I need instead of going to a separate website every time.

I usually just throw my screenshots into Figma with some quick device frames, but this actually looks pretty clean for something automated.

Questions?

We've got answers.

Is Screenshot Framer really free?
Yes — 100% free forever. No account, no credit card, no paywall, no hidden fees, no "pro" upsell. The whole feature set ships free.
Does it collect or upload my captures?
No. Screenshot and recording capture, framing and export run locally in your browser, and capture content is never uploaded. Optional anonymous usage metrics are off by default and never include screenshots, recordings, page content or visited URLs.
Can it record browser interactions?
Yes. Right-click a normal webpage, choose “Record GIF / Video,” then select 3, 5 or 10 seconds. The finished clip opens automatically in the editor, where you can change its frame, background and playback speed before exporting MP4, WebM or GIF.
Which frames does it support?
Nine visual options: frameless, macOS light, macOS dark, Photo Feed, Micro Post, Professional Update, Story, Short Video and Carousel. The six social layouts are original and platform-neutral, and every option appears as a preview card before you select it.
What export formats and resolutions can I get?
Stills export as PNG (lossless), JPG, WebP, PDF or SVG — plus Print — and recordings export as MP4, WebM or GIF. Still-image quality presets include 1×, 2× Retina, 4K, 8K or a custom width from 100–16000 px, with a separate JPG / WebP quality slider.
Can it hide sensitive information from a screenshot?
Yes. The redact tool lets you drag anywhere on the canvas to draw blur or solid blocks over any sensitive info — emails, API keys, account numbers, faces, anything you don't want shipping with your screenshot. Click a block to remove it.
Which social platforms does the share button cover?
Thirteen: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and Email. The image is copied to your clipboard and the platform's compose flow opens automatically — paste, post, done.
Can I screenshot just highlighted text?
Yes. Highlight any text on the page, right-click, and choose "Create Framer from selected text" — your selection becomes a typography-styled quote card with the source URL.
Can I make social media graphics or a product introduction post?
Yes. Start with Photo Feed, Micro Post, Professional Update, Story, Short Video or Carousel, then edit the display name, handle, caption, role and slide count. Add a product image, wallpaper, gradient or quote card and export up to 8K for a crisp result on any feed.
Can I cite a research paper or study in the quote card?
Yes. Highlight a stat or sentence on the study page (PubMed, journal article, press release), right-click → "Create Framer from selected text" — the source URL appears as a caption on the card. Great for clinical findings, product efficacy stats and academic citations on social media.
Does it work on every website?
Any website, any screenshot. No domain block list, no per-site limits. Internal admin tools, paywalled articles, locally-hosted dev environments — all fair game.
Is there a mobile or Firefox version?
Right now: Chrome and Edge (90+). Firefox is on the roadmap — it needs Manifest V3 parity. Safari and a native iOS share extension are being scoped.
How fast is it, really?
Right-click → drag → result tab opens with the framed screenshot in roughly 30 seconds. Quick-paste from clipboard skips the capture entirely.
