Nimbus makes capturing screenshots very easy and simple. You get a lot of inbuilt options for capturing screenshots using this extension. You can capture a screenshot of the Visible Page, a Fragment, some Selected Area, Entire Page, or Screen. The best feature of this extension is scrolling screenshots, which helps you take long screenshots of the screen. And all of this happens in a single click.

How to use Nimbus
Add Nimbus extension to your Chrome browser. On clicking on the extension button, you’ll see the drop-down menu with all the options and settings of the extension. A screenshot of the same is given below.
In that menu, you can see all the options for taking a screenshot. I’ve written in short about them to clarify the work of each one. They are as follows.
Visible part of the page: It captures the screenshot of the visible part of the web page only.
Capture Fragment: It captures the screenshot of small fragments of the page.

Delayed Screen: It captures screenshots after a delay of a few seconds. The screenshot consists of the visible part of the web page.

Blank Screen: Opens a blank screen for you, where you can paste any picture or use it as a canvas.
Record Video: Starts video recording of the screen. It also gives you a variety of options and settings to choose from like recording the screen or webcam, switching the mic on and off. And other video settings like resolution, countdown, etc.
After capturing the screenshot, Nimbus opens the screenshot in another Chrome tab. Here you can edit the image, add annotations etc., or just download the image to your device. The image is downloaded in PNG format. You can also change the post capture settings in the menu.
