🧠 How It Works

Capture Visible Area

Uses Chrome’s captureVisibleTab API to get a screenshot of the visible viewport. Adds the URL header if enabled.

Capture Entire Page

Injects a script to scroll from bottom to top, capturing segments. Each image is stitched into a full-page composite using the Canvas API.

Preview Tab

Opens in a new tab:

Shows screenshot
Adds metadata (URL, timestamp)
Offers buttons to download or copy
Supports keyboard shortcuts for power users

🧪 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Blank screenshots: Wait for the page to load before capturing.
Incomplete full-page capture: Dynamic content might not load in time.
Clipboard copy fails: Check that you’re using Chrome 88+ and not blocking clipboard access.

Performance Notes

Full-page captures may take longer on long or media-heavy sites.
Large captures can use significant memory.
