Captorify browser permissions
Learn how Captorify uses browser permissions to capture pages and save files, what changes when you connect a paid account, and how to revoke access.
Least-privilege by design
Captorify requests only the browser permissions a screenshot workflow actually uses, and nothing more. The aim is to keep the extension able to capture, edit, and export without reaching into your browsing beyond the page you choose to capture.
Each permission below maps to a concrete capability.
Capturing the page
To capture a screenshot, the extension reads the contents of the tab you are on. It uses the active-tab and scripting permissions to scroll the page, capture each tile, and compose the result.
Active-tab access is granted by your action, such as clicking the toolbar button or using a capture shortcut, and it applies to the current tab at that moment rather than to your browsing in general.
- Active-tab access is triggered by your capture action.
- Scripting drives the scroll-and-stitch capture in the page.
- It applies to the tab you choose to capture.
Saving and storing locally
The downloads permission lets you save an exported PNG, JPG, or PDF to your computer. The storage permission keeps your settings and local captures in the browser so the workflow stays in your hands.
On the free tier this all stays local, with no upload to Captorify.
- Downloads saves your exported files.
- Storage holds settings and local captures in the browser.
Extension housekeeping
A few permissions support the extension itself rather than your data. Tab access lets the extension target the right tab for a capture, alarms schedule routine background tasks, and the side-panel permission powers the History and Settings panel in browsers that support it.
None of these send your browsing anywhere; they keep the capture workflow working inside the browser.
Connecting a paid account
When you connect a Pro or Team account, the extension talks to captorify.com to link the account, and it uploads synced captures directly to Captorify cloud storage. Host access to the storage endpoint exists for that upload.
Account linking and cloud sync use network access. Free extension capture processes screenshots locally without uploading them to Captorify.
- captorify.com access links a paid account.
- Cloud-storage host access exists for paid capture uploads.
- Free extension capture does not upload screenshots.
Free versus paid behavior
Free extension capture processes the image locally. Capture permissions let the extension prepare the page, capture pixels and save the result.
Pro and Team accounts can upload captures when cloud sync is enabled. Check the sync setting before capturing sensitive content and review the image before sharing it.
Reviewing and revoking access
You can review the exact permissions Captorify holds on the extension's details page in your browser, and you can remove the extension at any time to revoke them all.
Removing the extension revokes its browser access. Files you exported and captures you synced to the cloud must be deleted separately.
Free public image tools
The website’s public tools process a PNG, JPG or WebP you choose in the browser. They do not upload your image or extracted text. OCR downloads recognition software and English language data when needed.
These tools do not create an account or a cloud capture. Cloud sync and hosted sharing are separate workflows. Review the exported file before sending it to another service.
