Snipping Tool for Chrome — A Better Alternative
3 manieren om het te doen
Method 1: Capture Full Page — The Chrome Snipping Tool
Capture Full Page works like a Snipping Tool built specifically for Chrome. It captures only web page content (no browser chrome or OS elements), offers three capture modes, and includes a full annotation editor. It is the most capable screenshot tool for Chrome.
- 1Install Capture Full Page from the Chrome Web Store — no account required.
- 2Click the extension icon to see three capture modes: Screen, Full Page, and Area.
- 3Area mode: click and drag to draw a rectangle over any region of the page — similar to Snipping Tool's rectangular snip.
- 4Screen mode: capture the entire visible viewport in one click.
- 5Full Page mode: auto-scroll and capture the entire page — something Snipping Tool cannot do.
- 6Every capture opens in the built-in editor — annotate with arrows, text, shapes, highlighter, and step numbers.
- 7Export as PNG, PDF, or copy to clipboard.
Method 2: Windows Snipping Tool / Snip & Sketch
Windows Snipping Tool captures rectangular, freeform, window, or fullscreen regions of your screen. It captures at the OS level — including browser UI, taskbar, and overlapping windows.
- 1Press Win+Shift+S to open Snipping Tool (Windows 10/11).
- 2Choose a snip type: rectangular, freeform, window, or fullscreen.
- 3Draw or click to capture — the region is copied to clipboard and a notification appears.
- 4Click the notification to open in Snip & Sketch for basic editing (pen, highlighter, ruler).
- 5Limitations: captures screen pixels (not web content), no scrolling capture, no arrows, no step numbering, no PDF export.
Method 3: macOS Screenshot Tool
macOS has built-in screenshot tools with Cmd+Shift shortcuts. Like Snipping Tool, they capture the screen rather than web content.
- 1Cmd+Shift+3: capture the entire screen.
- 2Cmd+Shift+4: draw a selection rectangle for a specific area.
- 3Cmd+Shift+5: open the screenshot toolbar with additional options.
- 4Images are saved to Desktop — use Preview for basic markup (no arrows, no step numbers).
