Capture your full screen, a window, or a browser tab — then crop, annotate, blur out secrets, and beautify with backgrounds and shadows.
What do you want to screenshot?
Pick your entire screen, a single window, or a browser tab in the dialog that appears — only the currently visible area is captured, and nothing is uploaded. Want a whole scrolling web page instead? Switch to A whole web page above.
Click Capture Screen and choose your entire screen, a window, or a tab in the dialog your browser shows. You can also Open image to edit a picture you already have.
Tip: set a Delay first if you need a few seconds to open a menu before the shot.
This free screenshot tool lets you capture what is on your screen and turn it into a polished, shareable image without installing anything and without creating an account. Because it uses your browser's built‑in Screen Capture feature, it works on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux, and your screen captures stay private on your own machine. (The optional full-page website capture is the one feature that uses our server to load a page you request — see the privacy note below.)
Click Capture Screen and pick your entire screen, a window, or a tab. Use the Delay option to give yourself time to set things up.
Trim to just what matters, then add arrows, boxes, text, highlights, and numbered steps.
Blur, pixelate, or black out passwords, emails, and anything else you don't want to share.
Add a background, padding, and shadow, then download or copy the image as PNG, JPG, or WebP.
Yes — completely free with no signup, no account, and no watermark forced onto your images. There are no paywalls or usage limits.
Screen, window, and tab captures — and any image you open — are handled entirely in your browser and are never uploaded; close the tab and they are gone. The one exception is the optional Full-page website screenshot: the web address you enter is sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection to our server, which loads that public page and returns the image to you. That image is generated on the fly and is not saved to any account or database, and there is no sign-in.
Browsers require your explicit permission before any web page can see your screen. When you click Capture Screen, your browser shows a sharing dialog where you choose exactly what to share. This keeps you fully in control of your privacy.
Yes. Use the blur, pixelate, or box tool and draw over anything sensitive. The redaction is baked into the exported image, so the hidden pixels are not recoverable from the downloaded file.
Yes — use the Full-page website screenshot box: type a web address and we capture the entire scrolling page for you. This is the one feature that is not done in your browser: the address you enter is sent over a secure (HTTPS) connection to FreeWWW's server, which loads the page and returns a full-length image to you. That image is generated on the fly and is not saved to any account or database or shared, and only public pages work. (The reason your browser can't do this itself is that its Screen Capture API only ever exposes the currently visible frame — it can't scroll or stitch a page together.)
Any modern desktop browser with the Screen Capture API — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera — can capture your screen. On phones and tablets, operating systems generally block screen capture from web pages, but you can still use Open image to edit a picture you already have.
