Launched chrome-extension wxt react typescript tailwindcss shadcnui vitest
Background
PageCap is a project I built to fulfill my own needs — to capture screenshots of a browser’s visible tab, selected region, or an entire page via scroll stitching. There are plenty of screenshot tools out there but I often found myself switching multiple tools to get the job done. Sometimes I just need a clean screenshot, other times I need a screenshot with a background or frame. I also need a way to annotate the screenshot and hide information with blur effects.
Therefore, I started building the initial version of PageCap in late May 2026, and it was then published to the Chrome Web Store in July 2026.
