Screengrab

No more Prt Scr., copying, pasting, and cropping!

WOO HOO!

Screengrab is a very handy extension for Firefox that can save entire webpages, visible portions of webpages, and … even selected portions, as PNG or JPEG files. You can also copy the same and paste it into your favorite graphics application, if you wish to save it with a different file extension.

And to think of all the trouble I had to go through to show a snapshot of the working of MeasureIt in my review..screen capture, copying it into Photoshop, cropping it, saving it,uploading it, and then linking to it, to discover that it’s size was a little too big.

Contrary to it, Screengrab just sits quietly in the status bar. Just click, select whether to copy or save, select whether to save entire webpage, visible portion, or selection, and you are ready to go!

See some of the screenshots of my own blog, taken with ScreenGrab :-

  1. This extension is cool! Unlike what I normally did like what you do, this extension saves alot of work capturing images from websites (printscreen), paste into PS, crops it to the size we need, preview in IE, modify in PS again…. blah blah (too much work involved).

    Great recommendation!

  2. Thanks for commenting, and glad to know you liked the extension as well. :-)

    BTW, I visited your website as well, and it looks good, just that the first post looked off-topic. But the other posts were informative. ;-)

  3. Thanks for this. I love firefox :)

    There’s just so many extensions and add ons for it it’s amazing IE still has a loyal fan base.

    Previously I’d been using a separate program to snag things from the web but this extension is so much handier (and much quicker)

    Thanks

  4. I just researched screengrab, but also came across another FF add-on called Fire Shot that looks like it does the same thing. I’m going to fire them both up in FF and see which one I like the best. Cheers.
