Description
A fast, open-source, ad-free screenshot tool. Select any area, edit with arrows, shapes, text, or blurs, and save as JPEG. Snippy is a lightweight, blazing fast tool for capturing, annotating, and saving screenshots directly within your browser. It is fully open source and completely non-commercial: no ads, no accounts, no paid tiers, and no data collection — just a screenshot tool. Key Features: - Free & Open Source: MIT-licensed with the complete source on GitHub (github.com/mjacobs/snippy). No ads, no upsells, nothing to buy. - Instant Activation: Click the extension icon or press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) to start selecting. - Smooth Selection: The live viewport freezes in time, letting you drag and select any custom area precisely with real-time dimensions feedback. - Modern Editing Canvas: The captured selection instantly opens in a clean, glassmorphic editing tab. - Comprehensive Annotation Set: Mark up your crops with freehand pens, custom-thickness rectangles, high-contrast text layers, and directional arrows. - Dynamic Highlighting & Blurring: Apply neon yellow highlighters to accent elements, or instantly pixelate/blur sensitive credentials and private data. - AI-Powered Lens (Optional): Connect a personal Google Gemini API key to unlock state-of-the-art vision capabilities—including accurate text extraction (OCR), detailed code explanations, contextual translation, tabular data extraction, and freeform chat about your captures. - High-Performance Exports: Copy the finished result directly to your clipboard to paste in messaging apps, or download as a high-fidelity white-compensated JPEG image.
