Shotko - Screenshot & Annotate Edge extension security report

Shotko – Screenshot & Annotate Shotko is an advanced browser extension designed to streamline the entire process of capturing, annotating, and sharing screenshots directly from your browser environment. Developed by LXB Studio, it caters especially to professionals such as developers, designers, support teams, content creators, and project managers who rely heavily on visual communication. Whether you're documenting bugs, reviewing designs, preparing tutorials, or clarifying tasks, Shotko provides an intuitive yet powerful platform to visually communicate ideas quickly and clearly—all without needing external software or complex workflows. This extension integrates seamlessly with major browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, providing cross-browser compatibility and a consistent user experience. At its core, Shotko allows you to capture screenshots in multiple ways: full webpages with automatic scrolling, visible viewport snapshots, or precise user-defined selections. Once captured, images immediately open in a robust, canvas-based annotation editor that offers a wide range of professional markup tools. Users can add arrows, text labels, shapes (rectangles and circles), highlights, and notes to emphasize or explain elements. Sensitive content can be obscured using a blur tool, while a color picker lets you customize annotation colors to match branding or personal preference. Shotko features comprehensive undo/redo functionality supporting up to 50 steps per session, letting you refine your annotations comfortably. Its interface is designed with modern aesthetics, including a sleek dark mode, responsive design optimized for mouse and touch inputs, and easy-to-access popup controls. Keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+Shift+S for selection capture and Ctrl+Shift+F for full-page capture) and right-click context menu integration speed up your workflow considerably. Sharing annotated screenshots is effortless with Shotko’s one-click upload feature, which automatically copies a shareable link to your clipboard. Images are cleanly watermarked with subtle shotko.com branding, hosted securely for seven days without requiring user registration or accounts. Each user is provided a fair usage of up to 10 free uploads daily, with images automatically deleted after the hosting period, ensuring privacy and responsible storage management. Your data remains private as all processing happens locally on your device prior to upload, and no personal data collection occurs. In short, Shotko is an essential extension if you need a professional, quick, and privacy-conscious solution to capture and annotate screen content with ease. Its powerful feature set combined with seamless sharing empowers teams and individuals to communicate visually with greater clarity and efficiency.
