Capturing screenshots
Clip Cabinet's Chrome extension can grab a screenshot of any web page, not just record video. Click the extension icon, choose Screenshot, and pick how much of the page you want. The image uploads right away and opens as its own clip, ready to search, share, and hand to an AI agent like any recording.
The three modes
When you click Screenshot, the popup expands into three choices:
- Capture Visible Page grabs exactly what's on screen right now, at the current scroll position. Fastest when the thing you want is already in view.
- Capture Part of the Page lets you drag a rectangle over the area you want. Everything outside the selection is dropped.
- Capture the Full Page scrolls from top to bottom and stitches it into one tall image, including everything below the fold. Use this for long articles, dashboards, or chat logs that don't fit on one screen.
Use the back arrow to step from the mode list back to the main Record / Screenshot choice.
How full-page capture works
Full-page capture scrolls the page for you, snaps it in slices, and stitches the slices into a single image. While it runs you'll see a short progress indicator on the page. To keep the result clean, the page is briefly frozen during capture: scrollbars are hidden, sticky and fixed elements (like floating headers) are neutralized so they don't repeat in every slice, and smooth-scrolling is paused. Everything is restored the moment it finishes.
Very tall pages are supported. If a page exceeds the maximum image height, Clip Cabinet captures as much as it can and notes where it stopped.
Where screenshots don't work
Screenshots can't be taken on Chrome's own pages (chrome://), other extensions' pages, or the Chrome Web Store. Chrome blocks the capture overlay there. Switch to a normal website, or use Record instead.
Viewing a screenshot clip
A screenshot opens on its own detail page next to its comments, extracted artifacts, and metadata in a panel that stays in view as you scroll. For a tall full-page capture, open it fullscreen to scroll through the whole image at full width, with the controls pinned in place.
If a screenshot fails to process, the clip shows the image with a Retry button so you can re-run it without losing the capture.
