Awesome Screen Recorder & Screenshot is a Chrome extension from Awesome Screenshot that captures screenshots (full page, area or visible part) and records the screen, tab or camera, with annotation and sharing tools.
Reporting a bug, writing a how-to or giving design feedback all go faster with a picture or a short video. Awesome Screenshot combines both in one Chrome extension.
Screenshots
- Capture modes: Full page, a selected area or the visible part of a page; also the entire screen or a single app window, optionally after a delay.
- Annotation: Crop and resize, draw rectangles, circles, arrows and lines, add text, highlight areas and blur sensitive information.
- Export and share: Save as PNG, JPG or PDF, copy to the clipboard, or upload to your Awesome Screenshot account for a shareable link.
Screen recording
- Record your desktop (whole screen or a window), the current tab or just your camera.
- Add your voice with the microphone and your face with an embedded webcam bubble.
- Choose 720p, 1080p or 4K and save as WebM or MP4.
- Save locally, or to your online account for an instant share link.
- Annotate while recording and edit afterwards.
Recordings and screenshots can be sent to Jira, Slack, Trello, Asana and GitHub.
Installing it
- Click Download to open the extension on the Chrome Web Store.
- Add it to Chrome and pin the icon.
- Click it and choose Capture or Record.
Cloud saving and share links use an Awesome Screenshot account, so check its plans on awesomescreenshot.com. For simple full-page captures, GoFullPage is a lighter option; on the desktop, ShareX and Greenshot are free alternatives.
Pros

Cons
- Cloud features need an account
- Many options can feel busy for quick captures
