Awesome Screenshot For Mac

Awesome Screenshot is a Chrome extension that offers you the possibility to capture the content of any web page, annotate the picture, and then save the output locally or upload it to your account and share it with minimal effort.

Worth mentioning is that you need to register for an Awesome Screenshot account only if you want to make use of the online storage capabilities. Moreover, to simplify the sign-up process, the service allows you to connect to your Google account.

To install the Awesome Screenshot extension, you must navigate to the appropriate Chrome Store entry and press the “Add to Chrome” button that you can find on the page.

The Awesome Screenshot icon will be instantly visible next to the address bar, and you can either rely on the built-in hotkeys to trigger the screenshot capturing process or activate the menu to see all the options.

Keep in mind that you can change both the keyboard combinations and the output image format via the Awesome Screenshot’s Options panel. The add-on can capture the visible part of the page, a selected area, the entire page or the whole screen.

The same area allows you to adjust the delay period when capturing screenshots (3 or 5 seconds) and the default local path for saving images (the add-on also integrates auto-saving capabilities).

After each capture, Awesome Screenshot automatically switches to the annotation panel where you get to draw freehand on top of the image, add arrows or other graphical elements, and so on.

The next step is to decide if you want to store the output locally or upload it to your Awesome Screenshot account. If you opt for the latter, you will get the direct link to the image so you can share it with others, or you can post it directly on Twitter or Facebook.

Bottom line, Awesome Screenshot can extend the capabilities of your Chrome browser and offers you the possibility to deal with capturing screenshots and annotating images without having to switch to a third party application.
