alex chacón (ID: 000000b52a0e0844) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/10/2023 The image still has a little shadow overlay from the UI at the top of the screen but other than that, it works as advertised.

icon

Jinu Won (ID: 00000068f388dfcc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/10/2022 It works if you use it from Google Maps and it doesn't work if you use it from Google Earth. Street names are still left there, so a 4 star

icon

Noah Sapnu (ID: 000000b6f02de241) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2021 It works. Just press the actual extension to take a screenshot.

Gilles R. (Gingko) (ID: 000000bd6cf46aec) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/27/2021 Unless you really decide to convert screenshots pictures to PNG format, please, could you at least give them the proper extension, that is, .JPG?

Mathias (ID: 000000a7c2678c93) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/12/2021 The whole street view interface is there in the screenshot. Useless.
