Steadier captures, a Blur that hides the whole box, and recordings that show their length.
- Full page on scaled displays. With Windows display scaling and browser zoom at fractional values (for example 125% and 120%), a full-page capture could lose a row of pixels where two parts of the page are joined. Every row is now kept.
- One capture at a time. A double click on a capture button, or a shortcut pressed while a full-page capture is running, no longer opens a second editor or captures ClarShot's own progress card. The capture already running finishes as usual.
- Blur hides the whole box. Blur no longer lets the sharp original show through near the edges of the box. Solid stays the only irreversible choice.
- Recordings know their length. WebM recordings now carry their duration, so players show how long they are and can jump to any point.
- Region: draw anywhere. When you capture a region, a drag draws your selection anywhere, also inside the suggested frame, and a click keeps the suggested frame.
- A page that gets shorter. A full-page capture of a page that gets shorter while it is captured is complete, and no longer says the page was too long.
- Every language. The popup keeps its size in every language, also with the Timer open, the Blur style buttons fit in every language, and ClarShot's pages tell screen readers which language they are in.
- Microphone on This tab. Recording This tab with the microphone on asks for the microphone the first time, instead of recording without it and saying nothing.
- Format in sight. In the Record tab, WebM or MP4 is chosen right under the recording modes, not inside More options, since it decides where the file plays.
- Editing text. With the Text tool, a click on an existing text edits it instead of opening a new box on top of it.
- Narrow windows. In a narrow window, such as half of a laptop screen, the editor's top bar now moves onto a second row instead of cutting off Download and the format menu.
- Files on your computer. On a PDF or another file opened from your computer, while the browser keeps ClarShot away from local files, the popup now explains how to allow it, with a button to the right setting, instead of failing with a general error. On the browser's own pages, which no extension can capture, it says so up front.
Version 1.0.4 24 September 2026
Sends nothing online (checked)
Insert an image over your screenshot, and Solid now stays solid under blur or pixelate.
- Insert an image. Paste an image (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V), drop an image file, or pick one with the new Image button (I): a logo or another screenshot, placed over your capture. PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF (first frame) and SVG, up to 20 MB. Drag to move, drag a corner to resize. It stays on your device.
- Solid stays solid. A blur or pixelate box drawn over a Solid box no longer shows, in the editor or in the exported file, a blurred or pixelated copy of what the Solid box covers. If you exported with 1.0.3 and drew blur or pixelate over a Solid box, check that file.
- Files that are not images. A file dropped on the editor that is not an image is no longer opened by the browser; the editor says it takes images only.
Version 1.0.3 22 September 2026

Solid redaction, now the default, and a correction to what we said about pixelate.
- Solid redaction. A new mode in the Blur tool, and the default for new areas. Solid is the only irreversible choice. Pixelate and blur are cosmetic.
- A correction. In 1.0.2 we wrote that pixelated text is truly gone. That was too strong: block averaging can be reversed in principle. Use Solid for anything that must not be recovered.
- Recording clarity. The Record tab now notes that native menus and pop-ups may not appear when recording a single tab. Use Full screen to include them.
Version 1.0.2 21 September 2026
A bigger free update: a new way to capture, ten languages, and a cleaner blur. All of it still runs on your device.
- Scrolling area capture. Capture a panel that scrolls on its own, like a chat, a feed or a long table, in one image. Pick the panel and ClarShot scrolls and stitches it, on your device.
- Now in ten languages. The popup, the editor and the menus are translated into ten languages, picked from your browser: Romanian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian and Russian. English stays the default, and you can suggest a better wording from the popup.
- Cleaner blur and pixelate. Pixelate now averages each block instead of sampling one pixel, so the mosaic no longer leaks single pixels. Pixelate stays a cosmetic choice; Solid, the only irreversible one, arrives in 1.0.3.
- A cursor you can see. The crosshair for drawing, and for picking a scrolling area, now has a light outline, so it stays visible on dark screenshots and pages.
Version 1.0.1 17 September 2026
The first update after launch. Like everything in ClarShot, all of it runs on your device.
- PDF with real pages. A full-page capture can be split into A4 or Letter pages, portrait or landscape, and the editor shows the page count before you download. One long page is still available.
- Recordings you did not save are no longer lost. If the recorder tab was closed, the browser crashed, or you stopped a recording and forgot to download it, the popup's Record tab lists it for 7 days. Open it to watch and download, or delete it.
- Files on your computer. On a PDF or a page opened from your disk, ClarShot now explains that the browser needs “Allow access to file URLs” turned on once, and opens the page where that switch is.
- Clearer sharing. Copy tells you where to paste (an email, a chat) and confirms when the image is on the clipboard. The recording page explains how to send the video file.
- Feedback while a file is prepared. Large exports show “Preparing the file…” instead of a silent pause before the download starts.
- A round of small fixes from the launch review.
Version 1.0.0 16 September 2026
The first public release, on Microsoft Edge Add-ons.
- Screenshots: visible area, selected area, and full page with sticky headers and lazy-loaded images handled, plus a timer for menus and hover states.
- Annotation: arrow, rectangle, ellipse, highlighter, text and step numbers. Blur and pixelate are burned into the exported file, then crop.
- Export: PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, or copy to the clipboard. One click makes a PNG much smaller and keeps it a .png.
- Screen recording: a tab, a window or the whole screen, with microphone and tab audio, an optional camera bubble, MP4 where the device supports it and WebM everywhere. No time limit.
- Recent list: the last 10 images you exported, in the popup, on your device.
- No network requests, no account, no watermark. Six permissions, each explained on the site.
