Show HN: I built "Schnippi", my dream screenshot Chrome extension

3•sagering•8h ago
Hi HN,

I've built my dream Chrome screenshot extension, "Schnippi," a combination of features I couldn't find in any other extension.

Features include:

- Optimized for Speed: Reduce the number of key presses or clicks to capture and export (download/copy) a screenshot. With one key press and one click, you'll have a screenshot in your clipboard or download folder.

- Flexible Capture and Selection: Capture any visible HTML element and cycle through the element hierarchy to refine your selection. You can also capture a free-form rectangle or the full viewport.

- Source URL Inclusion: Export your screenshot with the source URL of the captured page.

- Multiple Export Options: Copy to clipboard or download in various formats.

- Zoom-Friendly: Works well with "zoomed-in" pages.

- Privacy-Focused: No server uploads of your screenshots or any data collection.

- Clean UI: Neutral and minimal graphical user interface.

It's completely free! You can try it out here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/schnippi-screenshot...

Why Screenshots Are Great:

- Speed: Unless it's raw text, taking a screenshot is often the fastest way to capture information or data from a website.

- Context: Screenshots can provide essential context around the captured data.

- Universal Format: Most word processors, note-taking apps, email clients, LLM chats, and search engines support image input.

A Problem Schnippi Solves:

An issue with just a PNG file of a screenshot is that an important piece of information is lost: the URL of the captured page. It's like a citation without a source. A screenshot without the page URL is often not very valuable, as you can't easily get back to the page to verify information or learn more about the context.

To fix this, Schnippi allows you to "Copy as HTML," which includes both the URL of the captured page and the image PNG. Many apps support this format, including Google Docs, Gmail, Apple Notes, Pages, Microsoft OneNote, and Word, among others.

How I Use Schnippi:

- For any kind of research or collecting visual inspiration for a project.

- Taking a screenshot of a data graph to share with a colleague. With "Copy as HTML" I don't need to copy the link to the page separately.

- Capture and copy a screenshot from the clipboard to a search engine / llm chat.

- Note down a piece of information including the source URL.

What's next:

I am planning to add the option to annotate the screenshot with text and shapes like arrows, rectangle or circles.

I'd be happy to hear your feedback! Thanks!
