SVG Screenshots Browser Extension
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:
- 🖼 Flexible: Freely select the region of the website you want to capture or capture the whole page.
- 💢 Scalable graphics: Screenshots never get pixelated when zooming in.
- 📝 Semantic: Text can still be selected and copied to clipboard.
- 🦻 Accessible: SVG is annotated with ARIA attributes and can be read by screen readers.
- 🖥 Paste into design tools: SVGs will work in design tools like Illustrator, Figma, Sketch etc.
- 🔗 Interactive: Links are still clickable.
- 📦 Self-contained: Inlines external resources like images, fonts, etc.
- 📸 Static: Styles and layout are recorded at the time of snapshot and will not change.
- 🗜 Small: Depending on the content, SVGs can be magnitudes smaller than PNGs and compress loslessly.
- 🛡 Secure: The SVG will not run any JavaScript.
