Lightshot (screenshot tool)
Description from store

Lightshot is the fastest way to take a customizable screenshot. Simple interface, nothing useless and light weight.

Features:
* take screenshot and share it in few clicks
* select any part of the page
* edit screenshot in place
* save on a disk or upload to the cloud
* search for similar screenshots
* copy screenshot in clipboard

Privacy policy: https://app.prntscr.com/en/privacy.html?privacy

Clarification of the extension permissions:
* Read your browsing history - Chrome adds this line when we request tabs manipulation permission. Lightshot opens screenshot in a new tab, that is why we need it.
* Display notifications - Lightshot displays notification every time you upload screenshot
* Modify data you copy and paste - Lightshot allows you to copy screenshot into your Clipboard
* Manage your downloads - Lightshot allows you to save screenshot as a new file (works using download functions)

Was amazing, until it broke in Oct 2025. "cannot load a thumb" error across multiple cloud screenshots. No replies from "help email". Shame.

The extension stopped working forme today. I have the extension installed on my chrome browser and I have used it for a long time. But today, it decided not to take screenshots. It opens, lets me select the area to screen and that's all it does. It doesn't upload to the cloud or open the screenshot taken. Any help please? Thank you!

Not generating screenshot any more. Whenever you took a screenshot and paste it it shows black image. Not useful any more. Please improve this otherwise you will be out of market soon.

Used this for years without issue (since 2016). For months now it hasn't been working properly. It takes me at least 3 tries of screenshotting for it to work. The first 3 are blank.

perfect extension :)

Its good but not good enough. Doesn't work all the time, whenever I try to screen shot something and copy it, its just a blank image. No screen shot, just a blank image. It lags a ton too. Sometimes it doesn't even open. Not sure how people find this good but when it works, it works.

Lightshot still producing just a blank image - has been happening for months now. My underlines are the only thing I can see. For folk wanting something that gives a full page screenshot you should use the PrintFriendly extension for that.

Just what i needed

no settings, no option to capture the whole page.... no options.. primitive

Chrome plugin was working great until recently. Now probably 30% of my screenshots are blank when I paste (the annotations are still there, but the main content is missing). This needs to get fixed ASAP. Update: Still happening a lot since I originally posted this review almost a year later.

Dear Lightshot Support Team, I am currently using an AusExperBook laptop, and I’ve encountered an issue where Lightshot is no longer working. It was functioning perfectly fine yesterday, but after a recent system update, I’ve been unable to open or use the application. Here are the steps I’ve already tried: Re-downloaded and reinstalled Lightshot Ran the application as an administrator Toggled off “Use Print Screen key to open screen capture” Ended all Lightshot-related tasks from the task manager Despite these efforts, the application still doesn’t launch. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. Please let me know if there are any additional troubleshooting steps or logs I can provide.

Делает только видимую часть страницы, невидимая в пролёте( скриншоты pdf файлов открытые в chrome также не делает. Уйня короче.

I have been using this tool for almost 12 years now. It is the first thing I install on any new machine I get. So indispensable.
Heather Berner
Lightshot is GREAT because I can snip the exact area I wanted to capture. Thank you!!! I Love the Retro-ish theme to it too. "If it aint broke dont break it" !! Thank you for not being sketchy like "GoFullPage" <-- [Dont Download] <--) That is all.

Opens another page to capture, - super bad when you wanna easily screen capture multiple moments in a movie, in a row. Very annoying performance so I'll delete this one.
