The Screenshot Tool That Captures at 16x - Not Your Monitor's Resolution
Chrome extension that captures any full page, element or region at 2x-16x resolution. Your screenshots never leave your device.

The difference
Most screenshot tools save what your monitor shows
Shotdex re-renders the page through the Chrome DevTools Protocol at the resolution you ask for, so text and icons stay razor-sharp when the image is zoomed, printed, or dropped into a Retina landing page.
Drag the handle across the seam, drag the image to move around, and zoom in until the left side falls apart. Both sides are the same page, the same region and the same moment. Only the capture resolution differs.
- Real re-rendering
- Not an upscale of a blurry PNG. The page is painted again at the pixel ratio you choose.
- No subpixel blur
- Clip edges are snapped to the paint grid, so element and region shots stay clean.
- An honest readout
- The export panel tells you whether the pixels being written are real, including when they are not.

Four ways to take the shot
Every shortcut keeps focus on the page, so you can capture open dropdowns, hover menus and tooltips, the things that vanish the moment you click elsewhere.
One screenshot, every look
Backgrounds, frames and annotation are drawn as vectors at export resolution, so nothing softens when you scale it up.
Gradient
Mesh gradient
Pattern
Frosted backdrop
Transparent
Capture, compose and ship without leaving the tab
Shoot it at the resolution you actually need
True device-pixel-ratio rendering through the Chrome DevTools Protocol, so 4K, 5K and print resolution come off a normal laptop screen.
presets 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x
any custom value from 0.1x to 16x, fractions included
real re-rendering, not an upscale of a blurry PNG
clip edges snapped to the paint grid, no subpixel blur
clear warning at Chrome's 16384 px per side limit
Publishable without opening a design tool
Background, padding, radius, shadow, frame and annotation are all drawn as vectors at export resolution, with colours suggested from the shot's own palette.
ten one-click looks with shuffle and seed
linear, radial and conic gradients up to 8 stops
mesh gradients
padding in px or as a percentage, linked or per side
corner radius uniform, per-corner, or inherited from the element
Sized for wherever it is going
One click for an OG image, an X post, a Dribbble shot or a slide, instead of doing arithmetic in another tab.

X post 1600x900
Dribbble 1600x1200

Everything in the box
Thirteen tools that used to be two apps and a folder of exports.
Full Page Capture
Capture the entire scrollable document - not just what fits on screen - captured in slices and stitched into one seamless image
Element Picker
Shoot one card, one chart, one pricing table - with nothing around it - by walking the DOM tree with the arrow keys
Region Capture
Drag a rectangle around any part of the page - across elements, past the fold - and get exactly that box and nothing else
High-Resolution Capture
True device-pixel-ratio rendering through the Chrome DevTools Protocol - 4K, 5K and print resolution from a normal laptop screen
Focus-Preserving Shortcuts
Capture the things that vanish the moment you click elsewhere - open dropdowns, hover menus, tooltips and autocomplete lists
Annotate
Arrows that bend around the thing in the way, boxes, step badges and redaction - all drawn as vectors at full export resolution
Backgrounds & Looks
Turn a raw screenshot into something publishable in one click, with colours suggested automatically from the shot's own palette
Frame & Padding
Padding, corner radius, layered shadows and borders - with the radius able to inherit the captured element's real corners
Device & Browser Mockups
Ten vector frames drawn at export resolution, with the browser frames auto-filled from the page you actually captured
Canvas Targets
Size the image for where it is going in one click, instead of doing arithmetic in another tab
Export & Clipboard
PNG, JPEG or WebP with a live sharpness readout that tells you honestly whether the pixels being written are real
Library That Keeps The Original
Editing never touches your capture, so a screenshot can be restyled a week later from the original pixels at any resolution
Presets & Design Codes
Save a look once and apply it to every shot in a run, so a set of twenty screenshots looks like a set instead of twenty screenshots
Your Screenshots Stay On Your Machine
Every screenshot is rendered and stored locally and no image is ever uploaded - unlike the incumbents, which send your captures to their servers
How it works
From install to your first export
No setup screen, no project to create. Install it, activate it and take a shot.
Install and activate
Install Shotdex, pin it, and create a free account to activate it. One email and a password - no card.
Pick a mode
Pick a resolution and a mode: full page, viewport, element or region. Or use Alt+Shift+S / F / E / R, which keep focus on the page so you can capture open dropdowns, hover menus and tooltips.
Shotdex re-renders
Shotdex re-renders the page at your chosen device pixel ratio and stitches tall captures into one seamless image.
Style it
The editor opens with the shot. Add a background, padding, a shadow, a mockup frame, arrows, step badges or a redaction - all drawn as vectors at export resolution.
Export or copy
Export as PNG, JPEG or WebP, or copy straight to the clipboard. The original capture stays in your library so you can restyle it later from the original pixels.
Your screenshots stay on your machine
Rendered locally, stored locally, never uploaded. Here are the questions people ask next.
Shotdex against the way this is usually done
Most people use one extension to take the shot and a second tool to make it presentable. Here is what that costs.
Free is for communicating. Pro is for publishing.
Every capture mode, the whole editor and watermark-free export are in Free. Pro is about resolution, and about where the image is going next.
