Web Page Screenshots: While browsing, you may sometimes find a webpage that you like, or a text, an image you would like to share with others, but it can be difficult to solve. This issue resolves the Fireshot Capture extension that can be downloaded and installed from the FireShot site.

Quick tip: It integrates into the browser as an add-on and becomes easily accessible via the blue icon integrated into the top right corner of the browser menu.

Most websites are much longer than the screen, so you can only cut a portion that is traditionally visible with other programs, and then you have to scroll down to cut another section. The FireShot Capture plug-in is capable of saving visible parts, or only a selected area, or a portion of the image, or an entire web site what is very useful for webmasters, and can be saved in PDF format if you choose this option, or in PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP.

Do the following:

1.) Click this link: FireShot... "Chrome web store" appears.

2.) On this page, click the Add to Chrome button. In a few seconds it does an operation in the background, which cannot be seen, but be patient.

3.) A small window appears. Click the button Add extension.

4.) A "Manage Extensions" icon appeared in the upper right corner of the browser. Click this icon, and click the Visible icon from the menu that appears.

5.) By clicking the Visible icon, the blue "Fireshot" extension icon appeared on the browser bar, where you can easily access the program as many times as you need.
