The problem
A raw screenshot looks unfinished in a blog post, a changelog or a social card. Making one presentable normally means a separate design tool, or a web service that wants an account and a copy of the image.
The approach
PostSnap does capture and beautification in a single step, entirely client-side. The editor opens with the screenshot already loaded, and every adjustment — background, frame, shadow, aspect ratio, overlay text — is applied in the browser. No image leaves the machine.
What it does
Four capture modes
Viewport, element picker with scroll-wheel widening, drag-to-select region with live dimensions, and full-page capture with automatic stitching.
Backgrounds and framing
Sixteen gradient presets plus custom two-colour gradients with direction control, solid and transparent options, padding to 200 px and border radius to 40 px.
Window frames and shadows
Six frames covering macOS light and dark, browser light and dark, and a phone mockup, with six shadow presets and manual control over blur, spread, opacity and colour.
Aspect ratios that do not distort
Free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3 and 9:16 — applied by letterboxing rather than stretching the capture.
Retina-ready export
PNG, JPEG and WebP with a quality slider, at 1x, 2x or 3x scaling, straight to the clipboard or to disk.
Outcome
Published on the Chrome Web Store, open source under the MIT licence. Capture to finished, presentable image is one step and one tab, with nothing leaving the machine in between.
