What Shotko is
Shotko is a browser extension for capturing webpage screenshots, annotating them, and sharing them through public URLs. It can capture a selected region, the visible screen, or a full scrolling page. Annotation tools include arrows, text, shapes, highlights, and blur for sensitive information. Uploading a shot creates a shareable link and copies it to the clipboard. The maker lists Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera support, including Firefox on Android. Shotko is described for developers, designers, support teams, content creators, project managers, and general website feedback. No account is required, and its privacy policy says it does not track individual behavior or use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Uploaded images are publicly accessible by direct URL and deleted after seven days. Quick upload accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, and BMP files up to 8MB, with 10 uploads per day. The Free plan costs nothing forever.
