What is new in PageSnap
Every update, newest first, with its date.
Version 1.3.0
The page toolbox and more tools
New
- Page toolbox: click the PageSnap button on any website to draw, highlight, add arrows, boxes, ovals, lines, numbered steps and typed notes right on the live page.
- Edit the words of any website, hide or blur parts of it, move parts around and measure in pixels. Then take the screenshot with your changes in it.
- Design tool: click any part of a page to change its font, size, colours, borders, shadow, spacing and size, with ready-made styles for buttons and pictures. Copy the CSS you changed.
- Ruler with pixel marks and guides you add with a click, and a spacing tool that shows the size, margin and padding of any part.
- The toolbox now comes with the ad blocker switch, the SEO check and the QR code studio ready to use.
- Whole page tool: change the page colour, text, heading, link and button colours and the font of everything in one place, with ready-made themes.
- Save your layers on this computer, restore them later on the same page, or download the marks as an SVG file. Nothing is uploaded.
- Save the full page as a PDF or a Word file straight from the toolbox.
- The welcome page now links to short video tutorials.
- Four new languages for every screen and the toolbox: Italian, Korean, Vietnamese and Malayalam (15 in all).
- Upload a picture is now a real file button, so it works on every website, and "Add a picture" opens a small card with the same button and a drop area.
- Picking a colour no longer opens a card over the page, and dragging with a drawing tool no longer selects page text.
- Copy, cut and paste now work while you edit words, even on websites that block them. Pasting keeps plain text.
- Pictures: add a picture to any page, or change one that is already there. The Picture tab shows a preview and its size, and you can drop a file on it. Works on sites with strict security rules.
- The design panel has tabs (Look, Text, Box, Space, Picture) and a clear Upload a picture button with drag and drop.
- Colour picker for the whole screen, with the colour name, HEX, RGB and HSL and a list of recent colours.
- Add your own picture to a page, or change a picture that is already there.
- Live SEO and speed panel inside the toolbox: scores, load times, page weight, title and description with a Google preview, and what to fix first.
- More screenshot tools in the toolbox: select an area, one element, timer, copy to clipboard, save as PDF, and all panels of a chat app side by side (contacts list and chat in full).
- Make the toolbox yours: add, remove and drag tools in the toolbox or in Settings. Tools you pick for the PageSnap button show there too.
- Merge, split, rotate and reorder pages of PDFs and pictures, with text and links kept. Compress and convert lives in the same place.
- Spreadsheet and document editors (Excel .xlsx and Word .docx), QR code studio, a My files library with backup and folder sync.
- SEO and speed check for any page, with a broken link checker and Google PageSpeed scores.
- Optional ad blocker for websites and YouTube, with a pause switch for each site.
- Pin your favourite tools to the top bar. Search finds every tool.
- The PageSnap button can open the toolbox, or a list of actions you choose. Settings has a Check my setup page.
- The screens are available in 12 languages and follow your Chrome language.
Improved
- New settings page with search and a side menu.
- New look for the Pac-Man progress bar.
- Smoother pen strokes and sharper arrows.
Fixed
- Drawings made over a chat panel now scroll with that panel.
- The outline of a selected part no longer shows over the toolbox panels.
- Search no longer shows pinned tools that do not match.
- The ad blocker now removes the empty grey boxes that blocked ads leave behind.
- A full page screenshot of a chat app such as WhatsApp Web now scrolls the contacts list and the chat from top to bottom and puts them side by side.
- Only one toolbox shows on a page, even after an update or when it starts twice at once.
- The toolbox panel has labelled groups and an even grid.
