What Webshot is
Webshot is a free browser extension for screenshots, screen recording, editing, and text extraction. It can capture the visible area, a full page, a selected region, or an individual element, including delayed captures. Recording can target a browser tab, window, or desktop, with microphone input and a camera bubble. During recording, users can annotate, blur page elements, and apply highlight, ripple, or spotlight cursor effects. The screenshot editor includes a pen, arrows, shapes, text callouts, highlighter, blur, crop, and export tools. Its video editor adds automatic click-based zooms that can be adjusted, removed, or added manually. Text extraction works from images, paused video frames, and scanned PDFs. Webshot says captures are saved and rendered on-device, works offline, and has no account, telemetry, or usage tracking. Recordings have no time limit, and exports are full resolution without a watermark. Named formats include MP4, GIF, and WebM.
