How It Works

How the SwiftShot Chrome Extension Works

Three steps from tab to annotated screenshot — no desktop app, no cloud upload, no account required.

Click the SwiftShot icon

Open SwiftShot from the Chrome toolbar on any webpage — including pages behind login, single-page apps, and dynamic content other screenshot tools can't capture.

Annotate with 9 tools — or just speak

Draw arrows, add sticky notes, drop callout boxes, place legal stamps, or use voice commands to annotate hands-free. Every annotation tool is one click away inside the extension panel.

Export as PDF, PNG, Word, or email

Save your annotated screenshot to PDF, PNG, or Word. Copy to clipboard for Slack or email. Or save to your encrypted local vault with AES-256-GCM — zero cloud, zero privacy risk.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the SwiftShot Chrome extension.

How does SwiftShot differ from other Chrome screenshot extensions?

Most screenshot tools stop at the capture. SwiftShot adds 9 professional annotation tools (arrows, callouts, sticky notes, freehand, and more), voice commands, legal stamps with Bates numbering, and an AES-256-encrypted local vault — all without leaving Chrome. Lightshot and Nimbus capture; SwiftShot communicates.

Can SwiftShot capture pages that require a login?

Yes. Because SwiftShot runs as a Chrome extension in your browser, it captures whatever your browser renders — including pages behind authentication, single-page apps, and dynamic content that cloud-based screenshot tools can't reach.

How does the encrypted vault work?

Screenshots are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud server unless you use the Law Firms plan, which uses direct-to-S3 uploads with WORM (Write Once, Read Many) object lock for tamper-evident evidence storage.

What export formats does SwiftShot support?

SwiftShot exports annotated screenshots as high-resolution PNG, professional PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), email attachment, or encrypted .ssp file. Clipboard copy is also supported for quick paste into Slack, email, or any other application.

Is SwiftShot free to use?

You can add SwiftShot to Chrome for free. The paid Individual plan ($10.99/year) unlocks unlimited captures, all annotation tools, voice commands, legal stamps, and PDF export. The Law Firms plan ($25/seat/year) adds cloud WORM vault storage and chain-of-custody logging.

SwiftShot vs Snagit vs Lightshot — what's the difference?

Lightshot is a basic screenshot tool with minimal annotation — no voice commands, no legal stamps, no encrypted vault, and no PDF export. Snagit is a powerful desktop app ($62.99 one-time) but requires installation and doesn't run inside Chrome. SwiftShot lives entirely in your browser as a Chrome extension: capture any live page, annotate with 9 tools or voice commands, export to PDF or PNG, and store evidence in an AES-256 encrypted local vault — all for $10.99/year. No desktop app, no cloud upload required.

Does SwiftShot work on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge?

SwiftShot is a Chrome extension and works in any Chromium-based browser — Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Arc. Firefox is not currently supported. The extension is available free from the Chrome Web Store.
