A good, lightweight browser-based tool
As a 30-year user of TechSmith's SnagIt screen capture and recording tool, I found this browser extension a good, lightweight tool to capture what's in a browser frame. SnagIt can capture outside the browser frame, which this can't, and that can be limiting for someone wanting to capture screen areas outside the browser. Also, you can only save an image as a PNG file, not JPEG or other file format, and you have to (re)name the file on your local system, not before downloading - this adds an additional step I think. On the plus side, it can save output to your cloud; specifically Google Drive. They're still working on connecting to OneDrive and DropBox.
As for screen (video) capture, the UI is nice and clean, with a visual timeline that you can edit and add a audio track to at the bottom of the screen.
The customer service is responsive and helpful, but I think it needs to add some product documentation and How-To tutorials to allow users to take full advantage of the product.
Overall, this browser extension is good -- but a work-in-progress (v1.0), and not a mature product like SnagIt. Bottom line: For the price of a medium pizza, it's hard to not get this!

Nov 5, 2026Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and the five stars! Coming from someone who has used Snagit for 30 years, that means a great deal to us.
You raised some important points, and I'm happy to share that we've already addressed two of them.
Image formats: Since v1.1.13, you can download images as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Just select your preferred format next to the Download button in the editor.
Details: https://framiocam.com/changelog?version=1.1.13
File naming: We've added the option to choose a filename and destination folder before downloading. This feature is included in v1.1.14, which is currently on its way to the Chrome Web Store.
Once updated, simply Click the FramioCam icon in your toolbar --> FramioCam Settings --> File Naming System and enable Ask where to save each file It's optional, so you can keep the one-click download experience if you prefer.
Documentation and tutorials: You're absolutely right about this. We're working on a dedicated How-To section on our website, which will also be accessible directly from the extension. We want to make it easier for everyone to get the most out of FramioCam.
I know FramioCam still has room to grow, and I'm committed to making it better with every update.
Thank you for supporting us and helping shape the product with your feedback!
