Install the Clipus Chrome Extension

Three-step install for the Clipus browser extension. Works on any Chromium-based browser.

Installing the extension takes under a minute. The extension is what lets Clipus see your live product the way a user would.

Step 1 — Open the listing

Search the Chrome Web Store for Clipus — SaaS Screenshot & UI Capture, or visit the install link from your dashboard.

Step 2 — Approve permissions

The extension asks for three permissions only:

  • activeTabRead the page you have open when you press Start Capture.
  • storageSave your local capture session before upload.
  • offscreenRun on-device OCR in an offscreen browser document.

Host permission: https://*/* — only used during an active capture session.

Step 3 — Sign in

Open the extension, sign in with the same email as your clipus.io account, and you are ready to start a capture session.
