Updates

Release notes for every version of PixSnip.

1.0.0

Initial release
  • Region capture. Drag a rectangle in any direction, see the live size label, nudge with the arrow keys (Shift for 10 px) and confirm with Enter.
  • Element capture. Hover to highlight, click to capture. Arrow Up selects the parent, Arrow Down goes back to the child. Optional padding up to 32 px. Elements taller than the viewport are stitched and cropped exactly to their box.
  • Full page capture. Stitches viewport tiles into one PNG. Fixed and sticky elements appear once, scrollbars are hidden, animations are paused, lazy images get time to load, and pages that grow while scrolling are extended up to the size cap.
  • App layouts. Pages that scroll a container instead of the window (Gmail, Slack, dashboards) are detected and the container is scrolled instead.
  • Three output actions. Preview tab (1:1 on a checkerboard with device and CSS dimensions), download with a filename pattern, or copy to the clipboard.
  • Keyboard shortcuts. Alt+Shift+R, Alt+Shift+E and Alt+Shift+F by default, rebindable in Chrome.
  • Safe by design. Only activeTab, scripting, downloads, storage and offscreen. No host permissions. The page is always restored after a capture, even after an error.

Planned

  • Annotation in the preview tab: arrows, rectangles, text, blur.
  • Element and full page capture inside scroll containers.
  • JPEG and WebP export with a quality slider, and PDF export.
  • Delayed capture (3 s timer) for dropdowns and hover states.
  • Horizontal stitching for wide tables and Gantt charts.
  • Capture history in the popup.
