Turn your computer’s webcam into a digital scanner with EdShot. Once you have added the EdShot extension, you’ll have access to one click screenshots and one click web cam activation.

EdShot is perfect for anyone who struggles with organizing their materials. Once the extension has been added, simply use the webcam feature of your computer to capture any image and download it to your device. Once images, screenshots or web cam shots have been EdShot, simply copy and paste them to any document.

EdShot allows you to keep your photos private, as images are only accessible to the device user when using the download to device option. This makes EdShot a perfect choice for classroom teachers who are trusted to protect the privacy of their students, as images are never shared with any outside server. Unlike our screenshot competitors, EdShot considers privacy to be paramount.

Chris Garzelloni (ID: 0000008b4bddafcf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2017 I love this extension for my classroom! After Google removed the take snapshot function from Drawings we needed a way to photograph student work. This works perfectly!!! The only thing I would add is an option to name the file before downloading.
