Stop Taking Screenshots Manually, there's a Better Way: Screenshot with URL

Ever sent a screenshot to a teammate and had them reply with “which page is this from?”

We’ve all been there. Whether you’re reporting a bug, documenting a test case, or sharing a UI update – a screenshot without the URL is just a picture with no story.

That’s exactly why Screenshot with URL exists.


What is Screenshot with URL?

It’s a free Chrome extension by SelectorsHub that does one thing really well – it captures your screenshots with a clean URL address bar automatically overlaid on the image. No more copying URLs separately. No more “check the link in the chat.” Everything your viewer needs is right there in the image.

But honestly, it does way more than just that.

Here’s what it packs:

📷 Visible Area Capture – One click to grab exactly what’s on screen. Fast, clean, done.

✂️ Selected Area – Drag and select just the part you need. Pixel-perfect precision.

📜 Full Page Screenshot – It scrolls the page for you and stitches everything into one seamless image. You can literally see the progress as it captures.

🎥 Screen Recording – Yes, it records your screen too. Capture a tab, a window, or the full screen and save it as a video.

✏️ Built-in Editor – Arrows, shapes, text, highlights, blur for sensitive info — all built right in. No need to open another tool.

🕐 Timestamps – Auto-stamps the date and time. Perfect for audits, documentation, and compliance.

💾 Save, Copy, or Both – Download the file, copy to clipboard, or do both at once. Your call.

Why I Actually Like Using It

I’m not going to pretend every screenshot tool is the same. What sets this apart for me is how thoughtfully the workflow is designed. The URL bar overlay uses a clean Chrome-style theme (dark or light), so it actually looks like part of the screenshot – not some ugly watermark slapped on top.

The file naming is smart too. Every file saves as domain_timestamp.png, so your downloads folder stays organized without any effort.

And the privacy angle matters – no accounts, no cloud uploads, no data leaving your machine. Everything is processed locally. That’s a big deal if you’re working with sensitive dashboards or internal tools.

Who Is This For?

Honestly, anyone who takes web screenshots regularly:

  • QA Engineers & Testers – Bug reports with URL context save everyone time
  • Developers – Share UI issues with the exact page reference
  • Product Managers – Document features and flows with proper context
  • Technical Writers – Screenshots that actually tell readers where they are
  • Support Teams – Capture customer-reported issues with full page context

If you’re still using Snipping Tool or Cmd+Shift+4 and then manually adding URLs to your notes – give this a try. It’s one of those small workflow improvements that saves more time than you’d expect.
