Taking a screenshot is easy, but getting a perfect result with the right size, aesthetics and format for its use is no easy feat.
Many people use the key Print screen (Print screen) of their keyboard which creates a large file, impractical and not very suitable for sharing on the Internet where loading speed is essential. The common solution is to use online image compression services to reduce the file size, but you still need to edit the capture to beautify it and make it worthy of being shared on your social networks. And that's where FabPic comes in.
Make your screenshots cooler with FabPic
FabPic takes care of this second step by offering a simple online editor to improve your screenshots. First of all, FabPic is not a tool for making screenshot, it is just intended to help you make them prettier.
To get started, you need to grab your image from your computer, drag it onto the web app's editing area, or simply paste it using Ctrl + V if you're on Windows or ⌘ if you're on a Mac.
In terms of available options, FabPic allows you to add a background (color, gradient or image to import), add a frame, make rounded corners or even create a shadow under the capture. All these options are partly customizable and it is also possible to adjust the height/width ratio of your image (square, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, etc.). These modifications are accessible at any time via a side menu, and you can see all your modifications in real time.
Once your image is edited, you can download in format PNG or copy it to the clipboard. The site offers keyboard shortcuts for fans: Ctrl + S to save the image and Ctrl + C to copy it.
All you have to do then is use the image you created wherever you want, share it on social networks or integrate it into any document.
FabPic is presented in the form of a web app that is completely free and ad-free. The tool also requires no registration or account creation.
A Chrome extension from FabPic to go further
Although it is not mentioned on its site, FabPic also has a Chrome extension available here: FabPic Chrome Extension. Particularly interesting if you regularly take screenshots of web pages, this extension is very easy to use.
Simply click on the extension icon to take a screenshot of the active web page. The capture will then be automatically opened on the FabPic website and ready to be edited!
In short, without being the tool of the century, FabPic and its extension represent a tool that can prove to be quite practical if you need to embellish, add a frame... to screenshots or images !
