5 Best ChromeExtensions to TakeBeautiful Screenshots
Bloggers, web-designers, content
developers often spend a lot of
time on their browser. They also
take many screen-shots which
they discuss with their
colleagues or simply use as
content in a blog post.
My first choice browser is
Chrome, and hence I looked
about for some extensions
which were the best when it
came to taking and editing
screenshots.
#1.Screen Capture by Google
Screen Capture extension is
created by Google and works the
best when it comes to taking
simple screen captures. We can
take screenshots of whole page,
page region, visible content and
screen regions. I could also set a
folder where all the images
saved should be stored. Users
can also choose between default
version of image being PNG or
JPG.

#2. Awesome Screenshot
Extension
Awesome screenshot is a very
popular Chrome extension, and
good for capturing a visible part,
selected area and also the entire
webpage. It also has options for
cropping, adding circles, arrows
and text to explain the
screenshot.
The image can be saved online
on Diigo.com or locally on your
computer.

#3. Picnik
Picnik is mainly a photo editing
tool but its extension can be
used to quickly pick out images
from a webpage and edit them
online. The entire page can also
be sent to Picnik to be edited
later. It might not strictly be a
screen-shot extension but it’s
editing options makes it a must
have on your Chrome.

#4. Lightshot
Lightshot may not take
entire screen-shots but it is
unique as it can take a
screenshot from even outside
the browser. That means users
can take screenshot of the
desktop itself and not just the
webpage they are viewing. Also
the image can be quickly shared
on Facebook and Twitter or sent
to a friend via email.

#5. Minus
Minus is a great website to
upload screenshots or even
photos and make galleries. They
also have a nice desktop tool and
now with Chrome extension, it
can be used to take screenshots
and upload it on Minus. The best
part is it can be shared on social
networks and users can add
captions. Unfortunately it does
not have other explanatory
features like adding arrows or
highlight options.

Do try out these Chrome
extensions and let me know if
you have better options through
your comments.
