How do you take a screenshot with Google Chrome's built in screenshot tool?

 

If you want to take a screenshot of your current Chrome tab, why not use Chrome instead of Windows or Mac? Here's how it works.

Several years have gone by since Google began working on a screenshot tool for Chrome on the desktop. The tool was available through a feature flag in version 98. The performance isn't quite as good as it could be, but it works. Let's take a closer look.
 
Disclaimer: These features aren't available to everyone, and for good reason. They may not work properly and affect the performance of your browser. Activate flags at your own risk.

First, open Chrome on your computer, type chrome://flags in the address bar and press Enter.


Search for "Screenshot" and enable the "Desktop Screenshot" and "Desktop Screenshot Edit Mode" flags.


To apply the changes, click the "Relaunch" button at the bottom of the screen after enabling the flags.

Navigate to the page you wish to screenshot once the browser has reopened. On the right side of the address bar, click the share icon.


From the pop-up menu, select "Screenshot".


If the screen dims, you can drag the mouse to select an area to screenshot, or it will take an immediate screenshot of the entire screen.

After taking the screenshot, a pop-up will appear. Tap "Edit" to view the screenshot editor, or click "Download" to save it.


Additionally, the screenshot is automatically copied to your clipboard, so you can paste it anywhere. All the basic tools are available in the screenshot editor, such as cropping and drawing.
