What OpenCapture is
OpenCapture is a browser extension for capturing webpages as images, editing them, and exporting the results. It supports full-page, visible-area, and selected-area captures, so users can capture a page beyond just its visible section. The editor offers cropping, drawing, text, shapes, blur, and unlimited undo, with PNG or PDF export. Captures are rendered and edited in the browser rather than uploaded. The extension says it does not collect captured page content, browsing history, visited URLs, or several other categories of data, including analytics, keystrokes, and passwords. It stores up to the last 50 screenshots and some preferences in browser extension storage; uninstalling removes that data. OpenCapture supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox under Manifest V3. Its core extension is AGPL-3.0-or-later, while the watermark module is proprietary. The free plan includes the capture, editing, and export tools. The only paid feature is a tiled logo or text watermark, with adjustable opacity, position, and angle; sign-in is needed only for the Supporter watermark. Cloud sharing is not available.
