The short answer

Nimbus Screenshot alternative: Nimbus Capture, now part of FuseBase, captures and annotates screenshots, records your screen (5 minutes on the free version) and shares through its online workspace. ScreenSnap, our free Chrome extension, is screenshots only, kept on your device, with a free editor and blur, element and all-tabs capture, OCR in 16 languages and PDF export.

Nimbus Screenshot, now sold as Capture by FuseBase (Nimbus Web Inc.), is a screenshot and screen-recording extension tied to FuseBase's collaboration workspace: share by link, upload to Slack, YouTube, Google Drive or Dropbox. ScreenSnap does only screenshots, saved to your computer.

When to pick Nimbus Screenshot instead

Pick Nimbus Screenshot if…

  • You record your screen with webcam and microphone, or trim and export video as MP4 or GIF.
  • Your team shares captures through FuseBase's workspace, comments and tasks.

Why pick ScreenSnap

  • Six capture modes, including single elements and all tabs (a ZIP of images or one PDF).
  • Free editor with blur, redact and annotations; OCR in 16 languages.
  • No account and no cloud: screenshots are saved to your device.
  • Free, no paid tier.

Why people look for a Nimbus Screenshot alternative

  • Free screen recordings are limited to 5 minutes (up to 10 hours on Pro).
  • Sharing and storage go through a FuseBase account.

Nimbus has grown into FuseBase, a collaboration workspace, and its capture extension is part of that: screenshots and recordings that you share by link, comment on and file alongside your team's documents. If that's how you work, it fits well.

ScreenSnap is for capturing and editing screenshots on your own computer. Six capture modes, a free editor with blur and redaction, OCR to copy text out of an image, and PDF export, with no account and nothing stored online. It doesn't record video and doesn't share links; it does send anonymous usage stats, which you can switch off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Nimbus Screenshot alternative without an account?
Yes. ScreenSnap needs no account: install it and capture. Screenshots are saved to your device.
What happened to Nimbus Screenshot?
Nimbus Web's products now sit under the FuseBase name; the screenshot and screen-recording extension is offered as Capture, for Chrome and Edge, according to FuseBase's site (October 2026).
Does ScreenSnap upload my screenshots?
No. Screenshots are captured and edited in your browser and saved to your device; they aren't uploaded. The editor and OCR open as a page of oneclickpdf.net, so they need a connection. ScreenSnap sends anonymous usage stats to Google Analytics (which features are used, never screenshots or page content), on by default; you can switch them off in the popup.
Can ScreenSnap record my screen?
No. ScreenSnap is for screenshots only. For recording, a tool such as Nimbus Capture is the better choice.
