The problem
Agencies and designers capture pages and record walkthroughs many times a day. Doing it with separate desktop tools is slow, and many browser capture tools miss the full length of a page.
For audits, client reporting and design reviews, a partial screenshot is not much use. If the capture stops at the visible area, the person capturing has to scroll, take several shots and stitch them together, or leave out part of the page. Recording a walkthrough with a separate desktop app adds more steps: open the tool, set it up, record, then find the file.
We wanted both jobs, full-page capture and screen recording, to happen where the work already happens, inside the browser, with as little setup as possible. It also had to be light and reliable, since an extension that slows the browser quickly gets uninstalled.
What we built
SnapFlow captures full-page screenshots and records the screen directly in Chrome.
- Full-page capture, not only the visible area
- Screen recording from the browser
- Manifest V3 compliant and lightweight
- Reliable across major Chromium browsers
Manifest V3 is Chrome's current extension standard, and building on it from the start keeps the extension in line with the Chrome Web Store's requirements. Keeping the extension lightweight was a deliberate choice, because it sits in the browser all day.
Capturing the whole page, and not just what is on screen, is what makes the output usable for audits and client reports. Our Chrome extension development service covers this whole path, from scoping to the store listing.
The extension runs in the browser the team already uses, so there is nothing separate to install for each capture job, and the output is ready to attach to an audit or send to a client. Testing across major Chromium browsers keeps behaviour consistent for people who do not all use Chrome.
The result
SnapFlow is live on the Chrome Web Store and used for audits, client reporting and design reviews. It also shows our process: scoping, building, privacy policy and store review handled end to end.
That last part matters for clients. Getting an extension through store review needs more than working code: it needs a clear privacy policy and a listing that meets the store's rules. We handle those steps ourselves, so a client's extension reaches users and does not stall at review.
SnapFlow is also a working example of what we build for clients: a focused tool that does one job well, passes store review and stays maintainable. If you have a repeated browser task in your own workflow, it may be a candidate for the same treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a Chrome extension?
It depends on the features and on store review. We confirm the timeline after a free discovery call, once the scope is clear.
What does a Chrome extension cost?
Pricing is project-based. We give a fixed quote after a free discovery call, once we understand the scope.
What is Manifest V3 and does it matter?
It is Chrome's current standard for extensions. New extensions are built on it, so we build on it too, and it keeps the extension in line with Chrome Web Store requirements.
Do you handle the Chrome Web Store submission?
Yes. For SnapFlow we handled scoping, the build, the privacy policy and store review end to end, and we can do the same for your extension.
