There are a lot of screenshot extensions for Chrome. Many look similar—until you hit the pain points: watermarks, broken full-page captures, or cloud-only exports.

This checklist helps you pick the right tool (and explains what actually matters).

TL;DR

  • Prioritize no watermark + no login if you want a frictionless workflow.
  • For long pages, reliability matters more than “features”.
  • Make sure it exports in the format you actually need (PNG/JPG/PDF).

1) Full-page & scrolling reliability

Look for:

  • A real full-page stitch engine (not just “print to PDF”)
  • Options to handle dynamic pages (like adjustable scroll delay)

Why it matters: missing images and repeated sections are common on modern sites.

2) Export formats that match real workflows

Must-have formats:

  • PNG for crisp UI and text
  • JPG when file size matters
  • PDF for print/share (bonus if it supports A4/Letter/Custom)

3) Post-capture editing (fast, not bloated)

Look for:

  • Crop
  • Quick annotations (text, highlight, shapes)
  • Numbered steps for tutorials

4) Privacy and data handling

Look for:

  • Local processing / no forced cloud upload
  • Clear privacy policy

If you capture sensitive pages, this is non-negotiable.

5) No watermark, no forced login

Watermarks and account walls hurt productivity. Prefer tools that export cleanly with no “gotchas”.

If you’re comparing tools like Fireshot, GoFullPage, or Awesome Screenshot, this checklist is the fastest way to see what you’ll actually get day-to-day.

A simple recommendation

If you want a tool focused on reliable capture + clean exports (PNG/JPG/PDF) with a lightweight editor, Lliben fits this checklist well.
