How does this tool differ from using Windows Snipping Tool or Mac Screenshot?

Operating system snipping tools capture your screen resolution (typically 96–144 DPI). Our tool renders the vector PDF directly to a high-DPI canvas (up to 300 DPI) for significantly sharper text and graphics.

Can I capture a full page or only specific cropped regions?

You can capture the full page in one click or draw a precise selection box around specific charts, tables, or diagrams.

What export image formats are available?

You can export your snapshot as a lossless PNG (ideal for text and charts) or a high-quality JPG.

Can I take snapshots across multiple pages?

Yes. You can page through the document and take multiple snapshots without re-uploading the file.

Are my documents uploaded to an external server?

No. All rendering and screenshot generation happen 100% locally inside your web browser.

How do I take high-resolution screenshots of PDF diagrams and charts?

Open your PDF, zoom into the target diagram or chart, drag a selection box around the exact area you want, and click 'Capture Snapshot'. The tool renders the crop at 300 DPI ready for instant PNG or JPG download.

Can I copy the captured PDF screenshot directly to my clipboard?

Yes. Click 'Copy to Clipboard' after capturing your selection to paste high-res PDF figures, receipts, or table snippets straight into Slack, Microsoft Teams, Word, or Photoshop without saving a file first.
