Hushshot v0.2.1

LocalFullPageCapture has a new name: Hushshot. Same extension, same privacy: no network requests, no account, no analytics.

🌐 Website: https://varunshinde.github.io/Hushshot/

What's changed

• The new name appears in Chrome, the popup, settings, page titles and the PDF "Producer"/"Creator" fields.
• New installs save to a Hushshot folder in Downloads. If you have changed any setting before, your current folder stays as it was; you can change it in Settings.
• The repository and website moved to github.com/varunshinde/Hushshot and varunshinde.github.io/Hushshot. Old GitHub links redirect; the old website address does not.

No new features or permissions in this release.

LocalFullPageCapture v0.2.0

LocalFullPageCapture is now Hushshot. The latest version is on the Releases page.

A redesign that makes LocalFullPageCapture simpler everywhere, with proper crop and zoom.

🌐 Website: https://varunshinde.github.io/Hushshot/

What's new

• New icon in the toolbar and on the extensions page.
• Simpler popup: one big Capture full page button that shows the expected size, plus Visible, Area and Element. Recent captures show as thumbnails.
• Progress on the toolbar icon while capturing, and a red ! if something goes wrong.
• Optional one-click mode: clicking the toolbar icon captures the full page right away (Settings → General).
• Result page built around Download, Copy image and Copy text. The Download button remembers your format; options open only when you ask for them.
• Crop with handles: drag the corners and edges, move the box, or draw a new one. On long pages the view scrolls as you drag. Finish with Done cropping; every download and copy then uses just that area.
• Zoom your way: trackpad pinch, a zoom slider, Fit page and Fit width, and keyboard shortcuts.
• PDF option: add the page address, capture date and page number at the bottom of each page.
• Settings in plain words: General for everyday choices, and every fine-tuning option under Advanced.
• Cookie banners and chat bubbles are now left out of captures by default.

Updated 2 November 2026: Sharp mode fix

The first upload of this release couldn't turn Sharp mode on: Chrome doesn't allow its debugger permission to be requested later, so the "Allow Sharp mode" button did nothing and captures used your screen's resolution. Sharp mode is now part of the install and works out of the box, with an on/off switch in Settings → General. Chrome's install dialog shows a broad warning for this permission; PERMISSIONS.md explains what it's used for. If you downloaded v0.2.0 before this update, download it again and reload the extension.

LocalFullPageCapture v0.1.3

Cleaner multi-page PDFs.

Fixed

• Every PDF page now has the same width. With Orientation "Auto", the short last page of a long capture could flip to landscape and come out wider than the rest. All pages now share one layout.
• Even, minimal space at the bottom of pages. Each page is filled to the bottom, and the page break goes in the nearest gap between lines of text, so lines are never cut and at most about one line is left empty. An image moves whole to the next page only if that leaves at most 10% of the page empty; otherwise it's split exactly at the page edge.
• Nothing runs off the page. Split lines you dragged in the preview are kept for PDFs, with extra breaks added wherever a part would be taller than a page.

Install or update

1. Download LocalFullPageCapture-v0.1.3.zip below and unzip it.
2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
3. New install: click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder. Updating: replace your old folder's contents with the new files, then click the reload arrow on the extension's card.

LocalFullPageCapture v0.1.2

Bug-fix release.

Fixed

• A click in the popup sometimes did nothing, so you had to click twice. When Chrome had put the extension's background worker to sleep after a short idle period, the "start capture" message was lost as the popup closed. The popup now waits for the background to confirm before closing, and shows an error instead of failing silently.
• The first capture could be lost at the permission prompt. Chrome's "Allow debugger" dialog can close the popup mid-click. That capture now starts as soon as you choose Allow or Deny.
• Capture buttons stay disabled for the split second before the popup is ready, instead of ignoring early clicks.

Install or update
