Obnoxious Advertising Even On Paid "Pro" Version

12-11-25 - I've been using this extension for nearly a year now and overall I'm satisfied with its performance. I have three major problems that prevent me from giving it 5 stars:

1) The dev insists on printing "Captured by Fireshot" and "Get Fireshot" on every single page of your finished PDF! There is no way to disable this obnoxious advertising! It's an insult to customers who paid for the pro version to have that unnecessarily cluttering up their PDFs and wasting ink when you need to print the pages.

2) The finished PDF sizes are ENORMOUS. For example, a recent pdf I saved from Reddit resulted in a 3 page file that is 2.9MB! This is insane considering that I saved the exact same pdf using Vivaldi's FREE built-in "print to pdf" feature and that pdf is 5 pages and just 366kb! One of my largest Fireshot pdf files is a 205 page Reddit post that resulted in a 219.5MB file! My average Fireshot file size is about 50MB and I save up to one hundred per day, so this is a big problem for someone like me.

To be fair, Fireshot's resulting PDF looks more accurate compared to what you're seeing on the screen (Vivaldi's shrinks the first Reddit post to half of its actual width for some reason, which adds more pages to the finished file), but that accuracy doesn't matter when you're saving thousands of pdfs per week because Fireshot's huge pdf file sizes really add up! Now I have to add the cumbersome step of compressing dozens of pdfs per day with an external app to my workflow. Extremely annoying!

3) Fireshot has an obnoxious nag screen that auto opens after you've saved a certain number of pdfs. The only purpose of that nag screen is to pester you into leaving a review! It's unacceptable to nag your paid "Pro" customers to leave a review on top of your already obnoxious branding on every saved pdf page!

For a free way to save to pdf, you'll have to switch to another browser if you're on a Mac (you can save to pdf on Firefox for free too, but the finished pdfs are untitled). I recommend Vivaldi if you must used a Chrome-based browser for this; just remember to tweak your privacy settings and use the UBlock Origin extension and other privacy-protecting addons.

After one solid year of using Fireshot to print to pdf, I've decided to switch to Vivaldi as my daily driver simply because these 3 major Fireshot issues have made saving to pdf on Firefox too cumbersome and annoying.

Must have addon

Save to PDF option downloads a .exe file, which seems sketchy. otherwise, high praise!

I've used FireShot for about 2 years to copy selected elements of pages for future reference. I particularly like the different options to capture either all or part of a webpage & the options to save to different formats.

The plugin helps me at work and home!!

First tool that helps to create a whole Screenshot! That's it!

you have to take pro for full functionality

Incredible add-on! I used it to capture comic books from Comic sites that block you from right clicking to "save as" on the pages. Works like a champ!

It works great. The only annoyance is that it updates very frequently, and every time it does, it pops up a new announcement about the next time you go to use the app. But that's a very minor thing.

I mainly use this to screenshots pictures in websites that don't have a choice to save after right-clicking on the pic, screenshots pictures with headlines or screenshots manga/manhwa/manhua online pictures (because if you right-click & choose open image in new tab, it's a long pictures & not just a specific picture of what you want)

It's a simple & effective tool to use. Right click the picture, scroll down & expand to find your choices. It saves in png & I don't know if other types are available or not.

A very useful tool to screen long pages
