Taking screenshots in Google Chrome

I had been using the ScreenGrab! screen capture add-on for Firefox, which I was very happy with and reviewed here a while ago.

However, I find myself using Google Chrome more and more these days rather than Firefox, so I’ve been on the lookout for a similar screen capture tool for that browser.

That’s when I found Webpage Screenshot in the Google Chrome Extensions Library. Once installed, it puts a little camera icon to the right of the Chrome address bar. When you want to capture a screen shot, just left-click on the camera icon.

You’ll then be presented with a pop-up box, giving you the option to resize the window before capture, change the header and footer, capture the visible screen, or take a screenshot of the whole Web page.

When you’ve made your selection, you’ll get another screen that give you the image size in pixels and asks you to click on the provided link to open your screenshot.

You then need to right-click anywhere on the screenshot for your options for saving etc.
