Awesome Screenshot review
Capture webpages or screens, annotate images, and share recordings across devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Awesome Screenshot brings screen capture, recording, annotation, and sharing into one product for individuals and teams, including designers, developers, and educators. It runs as a web app, Windows and macOS desktop apps, an iOS app, and a Chrome extension. Capture options range from a visible area or selected region to a full webpage or entire screen, making it useful when a basic image capture is not enough. Users can save screenshots locally or to cloud storage and create shareable links.
Its capture and editing features cover several common documentation needs. Screenshots can be annotated with text, lines, arrows, shapes, cropping, and watermarks; webpage capture includes scrolling and full-page capture. The product also records screens and cameras, with editing tools for cuts, text, and shapes. OCR text extraction is specifically available in the Windows desktop app. Integrations include Trello, Slack, Asana, Jira, Google Drive, and YouTube, offering routes into collaboration and storage workflows. Teams that need capture across browser, desktop, and mobile platforms may find this breadth useful; those looking for OCR across every platform should account for its Windows-only scope.
The Free plan allows up to 100 screenshots and 20 cloud recordings, with recording resolution up to 720p; local screenshots are unlimited. Basic raises screenshots to unlimited and includes all annotation tools, while retaining the 20-recording and 720p limits. Professional includes unlimited screenshots and recordings and supports up to 4K recording resolution. All plans provide a way to start without a paid commitment, while higher recording volume or resolution depends on plan choice. Awesome Screenshot suits teams that want capture, annotation, and sharing together, but may be less suitable when OCR outside Windows or top-tier recording resolution without Professional is essential.
