These extensions help you to capture a screen, from your browser itself! sounds good? Wait! this isnt the limit. Some of these Extensions come with the ability to edit the captured image, eliminating the need of external utilities to capture screenshots of web pages.
1. Aviary Screen Capture– PNG image
Aviary screen capture is full of options. It provides you with all the features, that any desktop image capturing and editing utility can have. You can edit the captured image and save it on your system, or upload it on web. The editor has many options that not only include resize, rotate, flip and add visuall graphics but, also allow you to add effects to the captured image. This extension is my personal favourite extension!
