What is Awesome Screenshot?
Awesome Screenshot is a screen capture and screen recording tool from Awesome Screenshot, Inc., a company that has been in business for over a decade. It began as a browser extension and now also ships desktop apps for Mac and Windows and an iOS app. The extension captures visible-area, selected-region, or full-page screenshots and records screen and webcam video, then lets you annotate captures with built-in editing tools before saving them locally, to its own cloud, or to connected services such as Google Drive, Slack, Trello, Asana, and Jira. Recordings get instant shareable links. The company reports more than 3 million users and an average 4.6-star rating across roughly 18,000 Chrome and Edge Web Store reviews.

Pricing
The free plan covers core capture and basic annotation but caps stored screenshots and recordings (third-party listings cite limits around 100 images and 720p, short-recording video). Paid plans start at a Basic tier around $2/user/month for unlimited screenshot storage and recording, with the Professional tier at $6/user/month adding integrations like Slack, Jira, and Trello; a Team plan is offered at a higher per-user price.
Best for
People who capture and annotate web pages daily and share them with a team — QA testers, support agents, designers, and product managers giving visual feedback in tools like Slack, Jira, or Trello.
