FireShot review
A browser-focused capture tool for full pages, scrolling content, and batch screenshots.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FireShot is a browser extension and desktop software for capturing webpages, from visible areas and selections to full pages and scrolling elements. It is suited to people creating browser-based documentation, QA records, support materials, training resources, or research notes. Its focus is broader than a quick screen grab: captures can be edited, annotated, exported, copied, or sent to connected services. Browser-heavy users who need complete-page records are the clearest fit; people seeking primarily general desktop capture may prefer a tool centered on that workflow.
Capture options include all open tabs, batches of URLs, and infinite-scrolling pages. Editing tools include resizing, cropping, highlighting, blurring, erasing, and text annotations. FireShot can create searchable, linked single-page and multipage PDFs, and save images as JPEG, PNG, GIF, or BMP. Pro adds OCR, capture history, batch and automated captures, advanced PDF export, and on-device processing. The editor and smart annotations on Windows are included in the Pro Yearly plan, while advanced Pro capabilities vary by platform, so buyers should match the required workflow to their operating system before choosing it.
The free Lite version provides a way to start without a paid plan, and the Pro trial lasts 10 days before reverting to Lite. According to the vendor's pricing page, Pro Yearly costs $39.95 per year; Pro Lifetime License costs $99.95 once and includes future updates and use on two devices. FireShot supports Chrome extension, Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus integrations with Microsoft OneNote, Gmail, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, FTP servers, and HTTP servers. Its API supports website integration. Choose FireShot for browser capture, export, and annotation needs; consider alternatives if you need a consistent Pro editor across platforms or a broader desktop-capture focus.
