Questions

Privacy and security

• Does Screenshot Crawler upload my screenshots anywhere?No. Captures are assembled inside your browser and written to your own computer, and the extension makes no network requests of its own.
• Is there any analytics or telemetry?None at all. No analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting and no tracking of any kind.
• Do I need an account?No. There is no sign-up for the free version and none for Pro.
• Can it see pages I am not capturing?No. It reads a page only when you start a capture on it. The single script that runs on its own is on screenshotcrawler.com, so a licence key can be activated from the site.
• Why does it ask for access to all sites?Only if you turn on keeping guides after a page reload, which needs a script that runs at page load. Every capture mode works without granting it.
• Is my licence key sent to a server?No. Keys are verified offline against a public key built into the extension, so Pro works with no internet connection at all.
• Can I use it on confidential or internal sites?Yes. Nothing leaves your machine, so an internal dashboard behind a VPN is captured exactly the way any other page is.
• Does screen recording capture audio or my webcam?Neither. It records the page you have open and nothing outside it, with no microphone and no camera.
• Is the redaction tool a real redaction?Yes. The black bar replaces the pixels on the image itself before anything is encoded, so the covered content is not present in the exported PNG or PDF in any form.
• Should I use blur to hide sensitive information?Use the black redaction bar instead. A blur still carries information about what it covered, and blurred text has been reconstructed before now.
• Does text extraction send my capture to a service?No. Recognition runs on your own machine using an engine shipped inside the extension, with nothing fetched from anywhere.
• Does this website track me?Nothing third-party loads on a page view. Paddle's checkout loads only when you click Buy, because Paddle is the merchant of record for the payment.
• What do you store about me if I buy?Only what is needed to reissue a lost key: your email address, your name if you gave one, and the transaction reference. Payment details are handled by Paddle and never reach us.
• Can I read the source code?Yes. Browser extensions are distributed as source, so every line of what you install can be read and checked. It is readable rather than open source, and the terms of use still apply.
