Pokéshot is now LIVE on the Chrome Web Store — free, no account, and it never sees your screenshots.
A fast, 100% private screenshot tool + editor, built for 1Hack:
Snap a full page, a region, or the visible screen — one tap each.
Edit on the spot: draw · text · arrow · circle · crop · blur/redact (an irreversible mosaic baked over passwords, keys, faces, card numbers).
Save as PNG · JPG · PDF (the PDF can keep a real, selectable text layer), copy to clipboard, or keep a searchable, wipe-anytime history.
Everything happens on your device — Pokéshot holds zero website permissions and ships with no networking or telemetry code at all, and you can verify it live from the menu (“see the proof”: a permission x-ray + a network log showing 0 bytes out).
If Pokéshot is useful to you, please rate + review it on the store — that’s what pushes it up the rankings. Reaching the top is hard, but not impossible, and every single rating counts.

Missing a feature? Reply and tell us — we’ll fold it into the next update.
A website that’s hard to screenshot? Drop the link (and what breaks) and we’ll add support for it in the next update.
@western_duplek done — it lands as an automatic update within ~48h (nothing to reinstall; if you have Pokéshot installed it just updates itself), then set the save format to PDF and switch ✎ editable on: your text stays selectable and your arrows, circles and pen stay editable shapes instead of being flattened into the picture.
Thanks Marie, glad it feels neat! Heads-up though — the version you’re on is a fair bit older. We’ve just pushed a new update with even better bits — you should see it land within 48 hours, so keep an eye out.
On the backgrounds/mockups — could you tell us a little more about what you’re picturing (even a quick example)? Then we can build exactly what you have in mind.
I tried it on my browsers Arc and Chrome and it works well, thanks for the update!
On backgrounds, I meant like a padding, a background which supports custom colours in hex codes and custom background image. For the mockup, I meant a realistic or illustrated frame/mockup like a laptop, e.g, Macbook, Acer, etc. for full-screen screenshots (this would need a transparent background or white/custom colour/image too).
It’s here. The new Pokéshot just went out — it arrives within ~48h as an automatic update (already installed? nothing to do, it updates itself).
@Marie — your backgrounds made it in! Open any shot in the editor → Frame:
Background: a custom colour (any hex), 6 ready-made gradients, or upload your own image
Padding (S/M/L), rounded corners and a drop shadow — so a bare shot looks finished
On the laptop/device mockup — we decided against it. A fake MacBook/Acer shell is mostly decoration: it eats space, dates fast, and doesn’t make the shot any more useful. So instead we added a real browser Address bar — it shows the page’s actual URL (domain or full) with a genuine SSL lock, light or dark. You get that clean “real page” look without faking a device, and it’s honest.
Editable PDF (as promised, @western_duplek) — one important thing: this is not OCR. We do not scan or “read” the text inside your screenshot — OCR would be a hard no here: it typically ships your image off to a server (that breaks the whole nothing leaves your device promise), and it guesses the letters, so it gets things wrong. Instead, the text you type and the arrows / circles / pen you draw are saved as a real, editable layer in the PDF — so later, in any PDF app, your text is still selectable, a typo is still fixable, and your shapes are still movable. The screenshot stays the picture underneath; only your markup stays live.
Also in this build:
Tougher full-page capture — trickier sites now stitch clean, top to bottom
Editor polish + a one-tap “see the proof” privacy page you can run yourself
Thanks for the push, Marie — genuinely made this one better.
