Guide
Stop drowning in unnamed screenshot files. Here's how to build an organized, searchable screenshot library directly in Chrome.
Chrome has no built-in screenshot organization — every capture saves to your Downloads folder with a generic name. After a few weeks, you have hundreds of files called "Screenshot 2024-11-14 at 3.45PM" and no way to find anything. Here's how to fix that.
Install Screenmarks from the Chrome Web Store
Search for "Screenmarks" in the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome". Sign in with your Google account to set up your library.
Set your keyboard shortcuts
Screenmarks works with Alt+Shift+S (visible page) and Alt+Shift+R (region). These defaults work immediately after install — no setup required.
Capture your first screenshots
Browse to any page and press Alt+Shift+S. The screenshot saves directly to your Screenmarks library, then background processing generates a title, extracts text, and tags it.
Create collections for your projects
In your Screenmarks dashboard, create collections for your main projects or topics: "Design Inspiration", "Client Research", "Bug Reports". Add screenshots manually or use Live Collections to auto-populate.
Search by what's inside
Type any word in the search bar. Screenmarks searches titles, tags, and the text inside your screenshots (OCR). Find any screenshot by what it contains, not just when you took it.
Pro Tip
Use Live Collections (Pro) to automatically sort screenshots by website URL. Every capture from a client's site goes into their collection automatically.
Install the Chrome extension, create your library, and start with a 7-day trial.
