One-click screenshot to clipboard for Chrome and Edge. Click the icon, and the visible area of the current tab is captured as a PNG and copied straight to your clipboard — ready to paste anywhere. No editor, no file downloads, no account.
The eldest of three siblings, all built on the same promise — one click, straight to the clipboard. Sister Stitch Screenshot → Clipboard captures the full page, and the youngest, Frame Screenshot → Clipboard, captures the current video frame.

Taking a screenshot, finding the file, and dragging it into a chat is a constant micro-task. This extension collapses it to click → paste:
- Click the extension icon
- The visible part of the active tab is captured as a PNG

Perfect for bug reports, sharing snippets of pages, feeding screenshots to AI chats, and quick documentation.

Why doesn't it work on some pages?
Chrome blocks screenshots on internal pages (chrome://, chrome-extension://, the Web Store) for security. Regular https:// pages all work.
Does it capture the full page? It captures the visible area of the tab — what you see is what you get. Full-page scrolling capture is intentionally out of scope to keep the extension tiny and permission-light.
Where are my screenshots stored? Nowhere. The PNG goes to your clipboard and exists only there.
