Capture, Annotate and Share Screenshots of a Web Page with Awesome Screenshot

Have you ever wanted to use or share a screenshot of a web page? Yeah, I know you are thinking about it in this moment. There could be lot of reasons you might wanna use or share a screenshot of a web page. I've got few reasons for you right now. You can use screenshots in presentations, blog posts, documents, just to show interesting stuff to your friends or for the purpose of troubleshooting such as if you can't figure out something on a web page where others cannot see publicly or wanna point out specific error visually to someone else not with you.

Yeah, I know you can think of many more reasons why someone wanna use or share a screenshot. But sometimes prior to use or share a screenshot, you may have to edit your screenshot to crop a portion, erase sensitive information or to annotate and make it more helpful for viewers. I think you are now picturing few more tools for cropping, erasing and annotating images. What if I can show you an all-in-one tool for all purposes?

How Did You Capture?

Generally, you can make use of Print Screen button on your keyboard or screen capturing tool to take a screenshot of your screen and save it as an image file. Thereafter you have to attach it in an email, upload or host somewhere where any person can reach and view your screenshot if you wanna share or use it. But if you have to mark something or annotate on your captured screenshot, you have to spend some more time with an image editing software to get it done before you upload it. May be you are not familiar with such a software and have to learn about it before you get it done. So usually the process of capturing, annotating and using or sharing a screenshot is time consuming. But you can capture a web page, annotate and share it easily within few seconds without using or getting know of any other software.

Awesome Extension?

You can do this all on your browser with Awesome Screenshot extension which helps you to capture web pages, annotate and save it to use for your work or share instantly with someone who wanna make use of it. It can be an entire web page, selected area of a web page or visible part of a web page.

After capturing a screenshot, Awesome Screenshot allows you to crop any portion of it. In addition to cropping, you can annotate with rectangles, circles, lines, arrows and you can place texts anywhere on the screenshot.

Also you can erase any sensitive information or part in the screenshot that you don't wanna expose to someone else using blur tool. Eventually you can either save screenshot as an image on your hard drive or store online permanently or temporarily to share with anyone on the web. If you have selected to store your screenshot temporarily, it will store online for about 3 days and remove automatically. It will be really helpful if you just wanna show something on a web page to someone in a jiffy without sending it to someone.
