screen capture

Capture the current browser tab as a PNG image and open it in a new tab.

How it works

Click capture this tab to trigger the browser's screen-sharing prompt. Select the current tab when asked. The page uses the Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia) internally via `@keegancodes/capture-screen`, which grabs a single frame from the video stream and renders it to a canvas before returning a PNG blob.

The resulting image is opened directly in a new browser tab via a temporary object URL — nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.

Browser support

Chrome and Edge fully support the preferCurrentTab hint, which pre-selects the current tab in the sharing dialog. Firefox and Safari will show the standard screen-picker without the hint.

Notes

• The capture happens at the moment you confirm the sharing dialog, not at the moment you clicked the button.
• Closing the new tab releases the object URL automatically.
