Screenshot Commands

Capture the visible tab, copy a capture, export a full page, or select one webpage element.

Four screenshot commands

Run from the active webpage

Visible areaDownload the current viewport as PNG

Copy & downloadSave the PNG and copy it

Full pageExport the scrollable page

ElementSelect one element to capture

Choose the capture you need

Screenshot commands run against the active webpage. cmdOS closes its command surface before capturing so the documentation/search UI is not included in the saved image.

Capture Screenshot · default prefix cs

Captures the currently visible tab area as a PNG and saves it through the browser download flow.

Clip & Download · default prefix ccs

Captures the visible tab, downloads the PNG, and also copies the same image to the clipboard.

Capture Full Page · default prefix cfp

Captures the complete scrollable page and lets you finish the export as PDF, PNG, or JPG.

Capture Element · default prefix ces

Starts element selection on the current page so one hovered and selected element can be captured as a PNG.

Capture the visible tab

Use this when the content already visible in the browser is exactly what you want to keep.

1Open webpage search

Open cmdOS while the target webpage is the active tab.

2Choose Capture Screenshot

Search for the displayed command name or use its configured command prefix.

3Save the PNG

After cmdOS closes, the extension captures the visible tab and sends the PNG to Downloads.

Only the visible browser-tab content is captured; content below the current viewport is not included.

Copy and download one capture

Clip & Download Screenshot is useful when the image must be pasted immediately and retained as a file.

1Run Clip & Download Screenshot

Select the command from the webpage command surface.

2Allow the capture to finish

cmdOS captures the visible tab after its own surface has closed.

3Use either result

Paste the clipboard image into another app or open the downloaded PNG from the browser Downloads list.

Capture the complete scrollable page

The full-page command scrolls through the document, captures its sections, and combines them into one export.

1Open the page at its normal size

Let the page finish loading, including images and content that appears while scrolling.

2Run Capture Full Page

cmdOS begins the scrolling capture for the active tab.

3Choose the output

Finish the capture as PDF, PNG, or JPG using the format chooser shown by the extension.

Capture one page element

Element capture isolates a selected part of the page instead of saving the entire viewport.

1Run Capture Element

The extension enters element-selection mode on the active webpage.

2Point to the element

Move over the page until the intended element is highlighted, then select it.

3Save the result

cmdOS captures the selected element and downloads it as a PNG.

Capture Element requires a normal webpage where the extension can inject its selection overlay. Command prefixes can be changed in Prefix Settings.
