Changelog
A summary of public Capture updates and established workflows. Version 5.10.7 is the current Chrome Web Store release, live since 26 October 2026. Older notes stay below.
Playback has a prominent Save video button. It saves MP4, or WebM when MP4 is not available. The extension popup shows what is being recorded, and the popup header has a Rate button. Settings is responsive, and you can move between its tabs with the arrow keys, Home, and End. This release adds no new permissions, and screenshot features are unchanged.
Screen recorder fixes. You can mute or unmute your microphone while recording. When you start from a normal tab, the recorder opens in its own small recorder window and Capture hides itself before recording, so it does not appear in the video. The name of the tab, window, or screen being recorded is clearer. Fixes for the review prompt are included.
Capture may occasionally ask you to rate it on the Chrome Web Store after you have used it a few times.
When you stop a full-page capture of a growing feed with Stop and save, the editor now labels it “You stopped the capture” and keeps that stop reason. The site-specific long-feed banner text was removed. The History page now explains that nothing was deleted and that Free keeps the last 5 captures on this computer for 24 hours.
Updated Free and Pro recording: Free records for up to 5 minutes at up to 1080p with no watermark, MP4 download and basic start/end trim. Pro adds recording without a time limit, up to 4K, GIF export, drawing annotations and middle-section removal.
Privacy detection stays local and Free, with suggested blurs applied individually. Pro adds one-click Apply all suggestions and advanced blur/pixelate styles. Full-page capture now exposes Stop and save immediately, lets growing feeds continue, and opens a stopped partial capture in the editor.
Corrected recording annotation plan labels, clarified that Free captures remain locally retained for their stated window, and separated automated capture-integrity warnings from manual review items.
The Chrome Web Store listing shows version 5.7.34, updated 21 October 2026. This release ships a new popup and editor design, and an editor tools fix.
Screen recording is included. Open More, then Record, and choose This tab, Window, or Screen. No account is needed. Recordings stay on your computer. Microphone, webcam, and tab audio stay off until you turn them on. Free records up to 10 minutes at up to 1080p, with no watermark, unlimited recordings, a GIF of any 8 second range, and one continuous trim. Pro has no time limit, can ask for 1440p or 4K when the shared screen is that large, can export a GIF of any 30 second range, and can cut out a middle section. Both plans can draw on a shared tab and save WebM, or MP4 when this Chrome can write it.
Visible area and Select area stay free. PNG, JPG and WebP downloads stay unlimited on Free, with no daily cap. PDF stays on Pro. Emoji stays free. Business stamps, custom stamps, and the optional text watermark stay on Pro.
Separate patch notes between 4.88.1 and 5.7.34 are not listed here unless they are part of this installed package.
On 14 October 2026 the official listing showed version 4.88.1. Its public description documents the 4.88 full-page capture improvements: handling fixed and sticky elements, nested scroll panels and same-origin iframes, brief waits for lazy images, Clean Capture for common overlays, and a safety stop for infinite feeds. Results still depend on the page; check the final image and any limit notice.
For practical guidance, see capture troubleshooting, History and backup and comparison sharing. This entry does not infer separate patch changes that are not described publicly.
