FAQ

Frequently asked.

How do I install the dev build?

While CaptureWizard is in early access, grab the build from the downloads page and unzip it. In Chrome open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top-right), click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder. Pin the icon to your toolbar and you're ready to capture.

What capture modes are there?

Three: snap the visible area, drag out a custom selection, or capture the full scrolling page. There's also a short delayed capture so you can open menus, tooltips and hover states before the shot is taken.

Can I capture a whole page, not just what's on screen?

Yes. Full-page capture scrolls the page for you and stitches it into one tall image — handy for long articles, threads and dashboards. Very long or lazy-loading pages can take a moment while everything renders.

Can I record my screen and webcam?

You can record a screen video with an optional webcam bubble and microphone. Pause and resume while you record, then trim the start and end before you save the file or share a link.

How do blur & redact work?

Before anything leaves your screen, draw blur regions over emails, tokens, faces or anything sensitive. The blur is baked into the exported image, so the hidden content isn't recoverable from the file you share.

How do share links work?

When you create a link, the capture (with its annotations) is uploaded so anyone with the URL can view it. Prefer to keep things local? Copy to the clipboard or download the PNG/WebM instead and skip the link entirely.

Do I need an account?

No. Capturing, annotating, recording and saving files all work without signing in. An account is only needed for optional extras like cloud sync and shareable links across devices.

Where are my captures stored?

By default they stay on your device — captures download to your computer and nothing is uploaded. If you turn on optional cloud sync, synced captures and any share links are stored in your CaptureWizard library so you can reach them from other devices.

Which browsers are supported?

CaptureWizard is built for Chromium-based browsers — Chrome, plus Edge, Brave and Arc, which can load the same extension. Dedicated Mac and Windows apps are on the roadmap; see the downloads page for what's available now.

Is it free? When does paid billing start?

The core capture, annotate and record tools are free to use. Paid plans (Pro and Team) are listed on the pricing page, but checkout isn't open yet — billing is coming soon, and you can create an account now so you're ready when it launches.
