Local processing and no network access
Short answer
Every capture is processed in your browser. There is no server, no account and no telemetry, and the extension requests no host permissions — Chrome grants access to one tab at the moment you press the button and revokes it when the capture ends. Its pages ship a policy of connect-src none, so the browser itself blocks outbound requests.

"We respect your privacy" is not a technical claim, and every extension makes it. What follows is the specific, checkable version — each item is verifiable in the source or in Chrome's own permission dialog.

- Host permissions requested
- None
- Permissions requested
- activeTab, scripting, storage, unlimitedStorage
- When tab access is granted
- On your click or shortcut
- When it is revoked
- When the capture ends
- Network requests made
- None
- Content Security Policy
- connect-src 'none'
- Analytics or telemetry
- None
- Capture retention
- Deleted after 2 hours or 5 captures
What each permission is actually for
- activeTab
- Lets the extension photograph and script the one tab you asked to capture. It is granted by Chrome only in response to a direct user gesture, which is why no host permissions are needed at all.
- scripting
- Injects the capture script, which measures layout and scrolls the page. It reads no page text, no form values and no cookies.
- storage
- Saves your settings — delays, formats, filename pattern. No URLs, page content or history.
- unlimitedStorage
- A full page screenshot is routinely tens of megabytes, which is too large to pass through Chrome's messaging API. The image is written to local storage so the result page can read it, and deleted automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Are my screenshots uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no server and the extension makes no network requests of any kind.
Can the extension read the pages I visit?
No. It has no standing access to any site. Chrome grants access to a single tab at the moment you trigger a capture and takes it back afterwards.
Where are captures stored?
In the extension's own local storage on your device, so the result page can display an image too large to pass through messaging. They are deleted after two hours or once more than five exist.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-in and no email required.
