SVG Screenshots Browser Extension

Chrome Web Store Firefox Add-on main build status release build status license: MIT semantic-release

Browser extension to take semantic, scalable, accessible screenshots of websites, as SVG - as simple as taking a PNG screenshot.

Why use this?

SVG screenshots offer various benefits over normal PNG screenshots, while keeping the good parts:

  • 馃柤 Flexible: Freely select the region of the website you want to capture or capture the whole page.
  • 馃挗 Scalable graphics: Screenshots never get pixelated when zooming in.
  • 馃摑 Semantic: Text can still be selected and copied to clipboard.
  • 馃 Accessible: SVG is annotated with ARIA attributes and can be read by screen readers.
  • 馃枼 Paste into design tools: SVGs will work in design tools like Illustrator, Figma, Sketch etc.
  • 馃敆 Interactive: Links are still clickable.
  • 馃摝 Self-contained: Inlines external resources like images, fonts, etc.
  • 馃摳 Static: Styles and layout are recorded at the time of snapshot and will not change.
  • 馃棞 Small: Depending on the content, SVGs can be magnitudes smaller than PNGs and compress loslessly.
  • 馃洝 Secure: The SVG will not run any JavaScript.
