Chrome extension · screenshots & capture

Screenshots,
made beautiful.

Capture a region, the visible page, or the whole page — then Backlit wraps it in a gradient backdrop, a clean window frame, and a soft shadow. Share-ready in one click, right in your browser.

The wedge

Every capture tool hands you a raw PNG.
Backlit hands you something worth posting.

Raw-capture tools stop at the screenshot; web beautifiers can't capture. Backlit is the one that does both — in the place you already work.

Raw capture
Beautified with Backlit
01

Capture

Drag a region, grab the visible tab, or scroll-stitch the full page. No banners, no upload.

02

Beautify

A great default style is already applied. Nudge the backdrop, frame, shadow, and corners.

03

Share

Export a high-res PNG or copy straight to your clipboard. Drop it into a tweet, doc, or release note.

Beautify

Two choices, then it's done for you.

Backlit leads with a tasteful default so a first capture already looks intentional. Everything below is a nudge away.

Your screen never leaves your device.

Every capture is processed locally in your browser — no screenshot is ever uploaded. Backlit sends only anonymous, content-free usage counts (e.g. that a capture happened), never your images, the pages you capture, or any personal data. Read the privacy policy →
