Screenshotting a web page?

Blur it first, then capture it framed

A background makes a screenshot look finished. It does nothing about the email address in the corner. The Blurr.ing Chrome extension blurs names, emails, keys and numbers in the page itself, then captures the tab with those blurs already in the pixels and opens the same background, padding, corner, shadow and border controls you see here.

  • Blurring in the page is free and unlimited.
  • The free plan includes 5 screenshots; Premium removes the limit.
  • The image is built in your browser and never uploaded.

How it works

How to add a background to a screenshot

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Add your screenshot

    Drop an image on the preview, paste it with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) straight after taking it, or press Choose image. PNG, JPEG and WebP all work.

  2. 2

    Pick a background

    Choose None for a transparent margin, Solid for one of 35 colours or your own, or Gradient for one of 35 presets, from pale light grounds to dark ones for a dark screenshot.

  3. 3

    Shape the frame

    Set Padding, Corners, Shadow and Border with the sliders. Add a macOS or Windows window bar if you want, and pick a Size such as 16:9 or 1:1 to fit a post. The canvas grows to the ratio and never crops your image.

  4. 4

    Export it

    Press Download for a PNG, JPEG or WebP at full resolution, or Copy image to paste it straight into Slack, a doc or a social post.

No upload

Your screenshot stays on your device

Screenshots often show customer names, inboxes and dashboards, so this tool never uploads them.

Drawn on your device

Your image is decoded and painted onto a canvas in this tab. There is no server step.

Never uploaded, never stored

The page does not send the image anywhere and does not save it. Close the tab and it is gone.

Free, no account, no watermark

Frame as many screenshots as you like. The file you download is yours, with nothing stamped on it.

FAQ

Screenshot background questions

Is this screenshot background tool free?
Yes. It is free with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many images you frame. It runs entirely in your browser.
Is my screenshot uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is read from your device and drawn on a canvas inside the page. It is never sent to a server and never stored, so closing the tab discards it.
Which file formats can I export?
PNG, JPEG and WebP. PNG and WebP keep transparency, so with the background set to None the margin and rounded corners stay see-through. JPEG has no transparency, so that area turns white.
Does it reduce the resolution of my screenshot?
No. The export keeps every pixel of your image and adds the padding, border and window bar around it. Choosing a size such as 16:9 grows the canvas on its short side instead of cropping the picture.
Can I hide sensitive information before I add the background?
This tool frames the image; it does not blur it. To keep names, emails or keys out of a screenshot of a web page, blur them in the page with the Blurr.ing Chrome extension before you capture, so the data never reaches the image at all.
How is this different from the screenshot feature in the Blurr.ing extension?
This page frames an image you already have. The extension captures the live page with your blurs already in the pixels and opens the same background, padding, corner, shadow and border controls on the result. The free plan of the extension includes 5 screenshots; Premium removes that limit.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Choose a picture from your photos, adjust it and press Download. Copying an image to the clipboard depends on the browser; where it is not supported, Download still works.
