Install the Clipus Chrome Extension

Three-step install for the Clipus browser extension. Works on any Chromium-based browser.

Installing the extension takes under a minute. The extension is what lets Clipus see your live product the way a user would.

Step 1 — Open the listing

Search the Chrome Web Store for Clipus — SaaS Screenshot & UI Capture, or visit the install link from your dashboard.

Step 2 — Approve permissions

The extension asks for the permissions needed to open the Workbench, capture the current tab after user action, and store local session state:

  • activeTabCapture selected evidence from the current tab after you start the Workbench campaign flow.
  • storageStore Clipus sign-in state, tokens, Workbench session state, and limited local extension state.
  • offscreenRun locally bundled image and text processing without opening a visible tab or window.
  • scriptingRun locally bundled content scripts on the active tab during user-initiated Workbench flows.
  • sidePanelShow the Clipus Workbench after you click the toolbar icon.

Host permission: https://*/* — used for user-started Workbench capture and limited signed-in intelligence snapshots on SaaS pages.

Step 3 — Sign in

Click the Clipus toolbar icon to open the Workbench, sign in with the same email as your clipus.io account, and you are ready to create a campaign from the current page.
