Screenshot Editor for Chrome

A screenshot editor in Chrome allows you to modify a captured image after taking it. With Capture Full Page, every screenshot automatically opens in an editor where you can add arrows, text labels, shapes, and highlights before exporting. Adjust colors with RGB/HSL/HEX picker or eyedropper, control line thickness, and use Undo/Redo. No watermarks, no uploads. Export as PNG, PDF, or copy to clipboard. For adding explanatory labels and step numbers, see how to annotate screenshots in Chrome. For freehand drawing and visual overlays, see the screenshot drawing and markup tools. You can also save edited screenshots as PDF for sharing and archiving.

3 Ways to Get It Done

1

Method 1: Capture Full Page Built-in Editor

After any capture (Full Page, Visible Area, or Selected Area), the screenshot opens automatically in the editor — a built-in screenshot markup tool for Chrome with a full annotation toolbar. Capture Full Page lets you edit screenshots in Chrome using a built-in extension editor. No extra software needed.

  1. 1Capture a screenshot using any mode — Full Page, Visible Area, or Capture Area.
  2. 2The image opens in the built-in editor with a toolbar: Edit, Copy, PDF, PNG, Cancel, and Help.
  3. 3Click Edit to open the drawing panel with tools: pencil, line, arrow, rectangle, highlighter, text, and step numbering.
  4. 4Choose colors using the color picker (RGB, HSL, or HEX values) or use the eyedropper to pick a color from the image.
  5. 5Adjust line thickness with the slider. Use Undo/Redo to correct mistakes. Zoom in for precision work.
  6. 6When done, click PNG to save the image, PDF to export as document, or Copy to send to clipboard.

Method 2: External Image Editors

You can capture a screenshot with any tool and then open it in a separate image editor like Paint, Snip & Sketch, Preview, or Photoshop. This requires switching between apps.

  1. 1Take a screenshot using any method (extension, keyboard shortcut, DevTools).
  2. 2Open the saved PNG file in an image editor (Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, etc.).
  3. 3Add annotations using the editor's drawing tools.
  4. 4Save the edited file — this creates a separate workflow from the capture.

Method 3: Online Screenshot Editors

Web-based editors like Canva or Pixlr can edit screenshots online, but require uploading your images to third-party servers. Unlike online screenshot editors, Capture Full Page processes your images locally — no uploads, no watermarks.

  1. 1Capture a screenshot and save it as a file.
  2. 2Upload the image to an online editor.
  3. 3Edit and annotate using the web interface.
  4. 4Download the edited version — your image has been processed on external servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What editing tools are available in Capture Full Page?
The editor includes: pencil (freehand drawing), straight line, arrow, rectangle, highlighter (semi-transparent overlay), text tool, and step numbering (auto-incrementing numbered circles). You also get a full color picker with RGB, HSL, and HEX input plus an eyedropper, adjustable line thickness, Undo/Redo, and Zoom controls.
Can I edit screenshots without uploading them anywhere?
Yes. Capture Full Page's editor works entirely locally in your browser. Your screenshots are never uploaded to any server. All editing happens on your device, and exports save directly to your Downloads folder or clipboard.
Does the editor work with all capture modes?
Yes. Whether you capture the full page, the visible area, or a selected region, the screenshot always opens in the same editor. You get the same complete set of annotation tools regardless of capture mode.
Can I add numbered steps to a screenshot?
Yes. The step numbering tool places auto-incrementing numbered circles on the image — perfect for creating tutorials, guides, and documentation. Click the numbering tool, then click on the image to place each step. Numbers increment automatically.
Can I edit screenshots directly in Chrome?
Chrome does not include a built-in screenshot editor, but Capture Full Page provides one as an extension. It lets you edit screenshots directly in Chrome without installing additional software. After any capture, the image opens in the editor where you can add arrows, text, highlights, shapes, and step numbers. Export as PNG, PDF, or copy to clipboard — all without leaving the browser.
