Questions

Is Toolbox cheaper than Awesome Screenshot?
Not on its own. Awesome Screenshot's paid plans cost less than Toolbox if a screenshot tool is all you pay for, and it has a free plan. Toolbox pays off once you'd also pay for a recorder, a PDF editor, a link shortener or a text expander. Add up yours in the calculator above.
Can Toolbox capture a full, scrolling page?
Yes. It scrolls and stitches the page in the background, shows sticky headers once, and splits very tall pages into parts. You can also pick a scrolling panel inside a page and capture just that.
Where do my screenshots go?
By default they open in the Toolbox editor on our website, saved to your account so you can edit and download them from any browser. Or set the extension to save them straight to your Downloads folder instead.
Is Toolbox free?
Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like full-page captures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds signatures, Office conversions and bookmark cleanups on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
Try it before you cancel anything.
Every tool works on the free plan, so run it next to what you have now, then keep the subscriptions you still need.
