I take lots of screenshots daily. I use Shottr for that, and I absolutely adore it.

However, there is one use case where Shottr wasn’t cutting it for me: capturing website screenshots without the browser UI. I find myself needing a basic PNG screenshot of whatever is showing on my browser, multiple times a day, and Shottr is too much for that.

Since I use Chrome for work, I tried a bunch of extensions in the Chrome Store. I was not happy with any of them: they were either too complex, or too ugly, or too cumbersome to use.

So I did what any self-respected hacker would do, and made my own.

Meet Shot!.

Shot! is the easiest, fastest way to get a PNG file of your browser content.

It is intentionally simple, so it is defined by the things it does not do:

• It only supports Chrome (although it may support Firefox and Safari at some point, since the APIs it uses seem to be compatible with all browsers)
• It only saves screenshots in PNG format
• The output filename is not customizable
• The save path cannot be changed: it’s your Downloads folder
• Also, while it says that Full Page support is coming, it may never make it to the extension because I don’t really use it that much

If your use case is different, Shot! may not be for you.

Things I may add:

• The ability to save a screenshot with only one click on the extension icon
• Full page capture (once Chrome supports captureTab, probably…)
• One-click resizing, using buttons instead of a <select>
• Custom presets for sizes
