Description from extension meta

Take a screenshot of any YouTube video with one click.

Image from store Screenshot YouTube

Description from store Adds a “Screenshot” button to the YouTube video player which saves a screenshot of the currently playing video as a file, or copies it to the clipboard, or both. Optionally with keyboard shortcuts, and buttons for changing the playback rate. New in version 3.0.0: moved to the newly required manifest v3, and removed the history permission, which should also make the screenshot button more reliable. This extension does not contain any malicious or tracking code. No viruses. No ads. Only good software. Thanks to Ari Velazquez, and Zertsu for their contributions.

(2024-11-04) Patrick Bill: Used to be the best, but it no longer supports chrome v3 and can't be installed and used in the latest chrome official version, luckily I found its replacement, the functionality is the same, the screenshots are shown as a button instead of text! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screenshot-youtube-new/mflhfbknkdbjbfmnfmblhjchcbopejhg
(2024-10-12) Hans: like if you downloaded this because of PeoChan
(2024-10-12) that_guywhoisnotok: it does not work at all.
(2024-09-29) Владимир Лефтеров: Button works in a flaky manner, sometimes it's completely missing from the page. After reviewing the code, I can see a lot of personal-use code that's not related to the described screenshot functionality. Also, the button is not well positioned on the bar, tested it with most recent YouTube version.
(2024-09-10) Sage Sapphire: Most of the time the screenshot button doesn't load. Race conditions maybe. When the button loads it works.
(2024-08-17) Chi Ho Fung (Kagami.576): Easy to use, but please update asap. Chrome might stop this from running in future.
(2024-08-09) Hassan Dayeh: Amazing!! Efficient and straightforward.
(2024-08-03) Bahaa Mahmoud: Great Tool, Saved me a lot of time and effort 👍
(2024-07-25) H. Y.: Monitoring Chrome's task manager, this extension doesn't release Chrome's memory even when the user is not on a YouTube URL. As a result, it might take screenshots of other sites or it might gather user's data besides YouTube. ( i.e. I can't trust. ) If the developer promises to protect user privacy, they should fix this bug.
(2024-07-21) Saucey: Great app, does as described. But why does it need permissions to view your browsers history?
(2024-06-21) Rik Tech: What I have been looking for. Great
(2024-06-17) DBH “PJ”: Was having issues too @meraaki1 -- Reloading the video often brought the Screenshot Logo back. Today - no success. Unistalled and Reinstalled results in YT Screenshot working again. Not sure if that is a Windows update issue or YTS. Will wait and see how long the new reinstall holds for before starting to look elsewhere as, it really is convenient :)
(2024-06-15) meraak1: the screenshot button doesnt show up anymore.
(2024-06-09) Ezekiel pol (EZEtouch): perfect
(2024-06-04) nadia: Great extension! Works on other video sites besides Youtube as well :)
(2024-06-01) Chris Vydas: Works 1 time, then all subsequent grabs capture an invisible image
(2024-05-19) Pavel Z: I'm not sure of the point of this. The 'Print Screen' button works just fine. But, if you could get this to work with YouTube TV, that would be amazing.
(2024-05-16) Cbd Rich: it works like a champ win 10 64 pro
(2024-05-13) amna humayun: good for youtube
(2024-05-08) mass: arbitrarily disappears and you have to keep trying to reload it. Sometimes it comes back but sometimes it doesn't. Not worth the trouble.
(2024-05-01) Nate Bartley: Strangely enough, it started behaving weirdly when I hid my bookmarks bar. The screenshots would come out solid black. Luckily I had only taken a few before I noticed the issue. Turned the bookmarks bar on and it works fine again :) 5 stars since it meets my needs.
(2024-05-01) Aadam: Does what it says on the tin, no fuss, no issues.
(2024-04-23) Nate Roe: [NOT ACTUALLY 1/5 STARS] One of my favorite Chrome extensions, but randomly stopped working for me recently. Removing and reinstalling it does nothing, and it says it's up-to-date. I'm leaving a 1/5 in hopes that the developer will see this and get it fixed, and then I'd be more than willing to change my rating to a 5/5
(2024-04-05) J: Doesn't work very well. Sometimes saves max 1 screenshot per video and even then have to reload the page for it to work a 2nd time on the same video. Sometimes won't work even once per video.
(2024-04-03) Chrystian: Perfect
(2024-04-02) Kalbi Chiu: Just one click and download screenshot from youtube video in PNG. Convenient and helpful.
(2024-04-01) Aaron Gee: Works quick and amazing! one click is all it takes. I'm happy that it downloads into PNG. (I'm on Opera GX)
(2024-03-27) Bloodziak: doesnt work
(2024-03-14) alex swin 2.: great. but 1 question? 0.0 what's the keyboard shortcut for the button???
(2024-03-14) Gisela L Vawdrey: awesome! works easy peasy and straight to my download images! thanks
(2024-03-13) Stanislav Stankov (Slav): Great tool! Working everytime. Just one small improvement - Yutoube player is quite filled with options already: https://share.cleanshot.com/XlPTFpKb and sometimes clicking on Screenshot button pause/un-pause the video my mistake. Would love this button to be just under the player, so I do not hit controls by mistake. Solid 7/5
(2024-03-09) Israel Wilkins: Does exactly what it is suppose to do.
(2024-03-03) Matthew Roughton: Best extension ever. Why couldn't they officially add this feature to the YouTube site? Edit: Now 1 star. Doesn't show up on YouTube player.

(2024-02-10) Aristides Katramatos: Perfect, the screenshots are clear and HD!
(2024-01-31) Jose Leal: works as intended. A good feature would be to be able to change the shortcut key
(2024-01-21) Redeye: It works
(2024-01-13) BL Man: I cannot see the screenshot button when watching my own unpublic video
