Free screenshot editor for Chrome: annotate, highlight and blur

Every capture can be opened in DownloadFullPage’s built-in editor. Crop and resize, add arrows and notes, highlight text, and blur or pixelate private information — then download.

Launch statusBeing prepared for the Chrome Web Store. The install button will link to the store as soon as the listing is approved.

How do I edit a screenshot in Chrome? After capturing with DownloadFullPage, click Edit in the preview (or in your history). Choose a tool from the left toolbar, draw on the image, adjust color and thickness on the right, and use Undo/Redo freely. Export as PNG, JPG or PDF, or Save to keep an edited copy in your history. Editing is free.

Blur vs pixelate

Both hide information. Blur softens an area and looks smooth; pixelate replaces it with coarse blocks and is easier to recognize as deliberately hidden. Either way, the effect is applied permanently to exported files. For automatic masking of e-mail addresses, phone numbers and password fields during capture, turn on privacy masking in Settings.

Saving your work

  • Export downloads the edited image as PNG, JPG or PDF.
  • Save adds the edited version to your history as a new screenshot — the original stays untouched.
  • Reset returns to the original capture.

Very tall captures that were saved in several parts are edited one part at a time.
