Changelog

New features, improvements, and important fixes from each release — including the next version in progress.

v1.0.10 Latest

Clearer signals for improving WebCapture

  • Optional measurement now records an anonymous install, first successful capture, and coarse active days, so product decisions start from demonstrated value instead of clicks alone.
  • The Admin Purchase intent view can now filter by date, plan, browser, source, feature, and extension version, with clear data-quality caveats and focused improvement signals.
  • Analytics keeps capture content, URLs, titles, email, raw IP addresses, and browser user agents out of product measurement.
v1.0.9

Your free trial shows you Pro straight away

  • Capture entire page finishes in around a third less time on long pages, and very long pages hold far less memory while they are being put together.
  • Capture is no longer greyed out on pages where it works. Add-on store pages and the browser's own pages such as chrome://extensions now offer visible capture, and store listings for other browsers get every capture mode back.
  • Starting a free Pro trial from Capture all tabs now runs the capture immediately, instead of asking you to pick options first.
  • In the editor, PDF export, GIF and BMP export, the ellipse/text/pen tools, saving annotations, sharing, and cloud upload now offer the free trial in place — and then finish the action you clicked.
  • Opening a capture older than 7 days offers the free trial and then opens that capture, and the history page gained an unlock button for locked captures.
  • Buying a plan now goes straight to checkout, so you enter your email once instead of twice.
  • During the last two days of a trial you can optionally ask us to email you what Pro keeps unlocked. It is never required, and it is a single message, not a mailing list.
  • New Help Center with step-by-step guides for every capture, editing, export, history, and licence task.
  • New Activate Pro page with a screenshot for each step of using your licence key on another browser, taken from the current version of the extension and highlighting the exact button to press.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we now email you, keep Pro working for a short grace period, and give you a link to settle that exact invoice — no second subscription, no silent lockout.
  • Cancelling now sends a confirmation with the exact date your Pro access runs until, and you can undo it any time before that date.
  • Confirmation dialogs everywhere now say exactly what will happen and default to the safe choice.
  • Every email we send — your licence key, a management link, a cancellation, a payment problem, a trial reminder — now looks like WebCapture and reads properly in any mail app, including plain-text ones.
  • Options, History, and the editor now show your plan and version, matching the popup.
  • The popup is now a calmer, action-first list: plan status, five capture choices, Pro gates, licence controls, and a labelled Settings link no longer stack cards or obscure one another. On browser-only pages unavailable modes are disabled without a message covering the popup.
  • Usage measurement can be switched off in Options, which also deletes the anonymous ID it used. It now also helps us see which features belong on Free and which belong on Pro — recorded once a day per installation, never per action, and never including what you captured.
v1.0.8

Capture availability you can trust

  • Capture controls now explain which modes the browser permits on the current page, instead of exposing raw browser errors.
  • Visible capture now refuses a background tab, preventing it from saving the active window's pixels by mistake.
  • If the browser blocks a Free capture after a daily credit was reserved, WebCapture restores that credit.
  • Keyboard-shortcut capture failures now show a clear notification when the popup is not open.
  • Sharing avoids restricted add-on-store tabs and uses a regular scriptable webpage instead.
v1.0.7

A smoother path from trial to capture

  • Starting a Pro trial from All Tabs now continues directly to the batch-capture choices.
  • Starting a Pro trial from Batch URLs now opens the URL queue immediately, so you can continue without repeating your task.
  • Pricing offers clearly show sale price and normal renewal price. Monthly and Yearly sales apply to the first payment; Lifetime sales apply once.
  • Admin controls sale schedule, plans, status, and discount without changing the existing Stripe subscription model.
  • After verified checkout, Pro unlocks automatically in the purchasing browser; the emailed license key remains available for recovery or another browser.
  • Once a 7-day trial has ended, the extension shows upgrade-only messaging instead of offering another trial.
  • Checkout activation and backend requests are protected with tighter validation, short-lived activation binding, and abuse safeguards.
  • Payment fulfilment, management links, and account actions now have additional safeguards against unpaid checkouts, leaked link data, and cross-site requests.
v1.0.6

Keyboard shortcuts, your way

  • Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+1/2/3) now follow your chosen Quick action — capture and copy, or capture and open the editor — instead of always opening the preview.
  • Copy-to-clipboard shortcuts now copy the image directly and show a quick confirmation notification when the copy succeeds.
  • On pages where the browser blocks copying (its own pages or the web store), the shortcut now tells you why and points you to the toolbar button to capture and copy there — and your capture is still saved.
  • Made shortcut capture reliable when used repeatedly, so the second and later shortcut presses always work.
  • Added shortcut hints under the capture buttons in the popup so the keyboard workflow is easy to discover.
  • Refreshed the extension icons for crisp display in system notifications and on dark taskbars.
v1.0.5

Try Pro free, plus tougher long-page capture

  • Try Pro before you buy: export a couple of PDFs and use the advanced annotation tools (ellipse, text, pen) free before upgrading.
  • More reliable full-page capture on long feeds and infinite-scroll pages, modals, and dialog views.
  • “Stop capture” now stops immediately and keeps everything captured so far.
  • Cleaner long-page stitching — no more duplicated or overlapping sections.
  • Faster, more accurate capture on app-style single-page sites.
  • Friendly reminders when you are near your daily free limit or your Pro trial is about to end.
v1.0.4

Sharper full-page captures

  • Fixed full-page capture coming out blank on modern dashboards and web apps.
  • Fixed full-page capture grabbing only a sidebar or side menu instead of the whole page.
  • Made capture faster and flicker-free on pages that already fit a single screen.
  • Added a built-in “Help Improve WebCapture” option to report a bug or suggest an idea — with optional Pro rewards for reports that help us improve.
  • Fixed copying a capture to the clipboard for visible-area and selection captures, and smoothed out the selection crosshair.
v1.0.3

Smarter full-page capture for web apps

  • Full-page capture now finds and captures the main content area on app-style sites like ChatGPT, instead of just the page frame.
  • Captures content inside scrollable panels even when a site blocks normal page scrolling.
  • Restores your original scroll position after a full-page capture finishes.
  • Start a free Pro trial directly from the extension.
v1.0.2

More reliable full-page captures

  • Improved full-page capture on websites that lock scrolling or use fixed-position page layouts.
  • Added a compact progress view while full-page capture is running.
  • Changed the Free plan allowance to 20 captures per day.
  • Improved license and checkout reliability.
v1.0.1

Edge review support

  • Added the Microsoft Edge Add-ons review link for the in-extension rating prompt.
  • Improved version consistency across the extension and automated UI checks.
v1.0.0

License-key activation

  • Replaced account sign-in with simple license-key activation.
  • Added device-bound Pro licenses with self-service device management.
  • Kept captures and capture history local to the browser.
  • Removed cloud upload and server-side sharing while retaining native device sharing.
v0.1.9

More dependable native sharing

  • Improved native share behavior so the operating-system share dialog opens reliably.
  • Increased the Free plan allowance from 10 to 30 captures per day.
v0.1.8

Review prompt

  • Added a lightweight review prompt after successful capture actions.
  • Added snooze behavior and automatic Chrome or Edge store detection.
v0.1.7

Clearer capture controls

  • Improved Pro feature gating and disabled-state messaging.
  • Added full-page capture progress feedback and the extension version to the popup.
  • Improved capture behavior on restricted browser pages.
  • Expanded automated UI coverage.
v0.1.6

Store compliance update

  • Locked the extension backend to the production WebCapture origin.
  • Removed local-development origin handling from the published extension.
v0.1.5

Public release baseline

  • Established the baseline for tracked WebCapture releases.
