Google Chrome: If you're looking for an easy way to screenshot web pages from within Google Chrome, Awesome Screenshot is a versatile Chrome screenshot tool. More »

Users who want to preserve information found on a website have several options to do that. They can save the webpage which creates a local HTML copy on the computer system, save specific elements, copy and paste text or use a screenshot tool to turn the web page into an image which is an elegant solution as it creates a single file with all the information of that page including scripts and other dynamic elements that are not saved in a local HTML copy.

WebPage ScreenShot for Google Chrome offers that functionality. The extension places an icon in the Chrome address bar after installation which, when pressed, displays options to take a screenshot of the visible area or the whole page.

 

 

The extension displays the screenshot of the page in a new browser window. Here it is possible to change the zoom level, open the editor for same basic image editing or save the screenshot directly by right-clicking the image and selecting Save Image.

Editing options are displayed on the same screen. It is possible to add text to the screenshot, change the orientation, draw elements or cut the image if only part of it is of interest.

Google Chrome users who regularly create screenshots of web pages should take a closer look at the extension.
