The Awesome Screenshot plugin for Chrome browser lets you capture a web page or any portion of it, annotate it with figures and text while also allowing you to blur any sensitive information, and upload with a single click to share it with the intended person. This handy tool is great for highlighting relevant or required information on the web page to colleagues.
Quite often while surfing the web for the desired info, you may come across the relevant information which is subtly mentioned on a web page, needing to be highlighted to a colleague, client or a friend. Even if the web page link is shared and the information is mentioned in the correspondence, it will take considerable time for them to find it. The Awesome Screenshot saves the hassle and places a browser icon in the web address bar of the Chrome browser.
As soon as you feel the need to highlight something on the webpage, you can click on this button to capture or clip the selected area, or all visible portion of the page, or the entire page, annotate it with rectangles, circles, arrows, lines and text and save locally. Also, you can crop the selected area and use the eraser to hide sensitive information. The image file can be shared locally, or you can upload it in one-click to awesomescreenshot.com and get a shareable link which can be accessed by your peers with the accentuated portions. The images saved online can be extremely large in size without a worry about crashes.
This smart application is a great addition to the repertoire of web designers, researchers, and even average users who would like to capture, emphasize, keep, and share the information available online. The Awesome Screenshot extension stays true to its name by functioning extremely well with the Google Chrome platform.
