Article   Talk
From Wikipedia · adapted excerpt

A hyperlink connects a reader to another document or to a particular place within one. In , a link can be attached to words, images, or other elements. Its visible label is called . Following a link in a lets a reader move between related sources.

On the World Wide Web, links bring together articles, references, and other resources. They make each page part of a larger story.

An image saves the view. A link keeps the connection.

Browser extension for Chrome

Capture the page. Keep the links.

Keep the links in your webpage captures. Organize them in your local library, then deep search, revisit, share or export them anytime.

Free Core Features

Every page you capture has a trail.

After you capture a page, hover over a hotspot on the screenshot to see its link, and click to follow it.

Sample pages are recreations of public pages, used under their licenses: NASA (public domain) · The Met (CC0) · Rijksmuseum (public domain) · PLOS One (CC BY 4.0) · NPS (public domain) · Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

Keep the view. Carry the connections.

Capture what you need, mark it up and keep it in your local library. Organize captures your way and find them with deep search. Share a capture as a temporary link or a linked PDF, and export or import your whole library as a backup.

Capture your way

Choose a region, the visible browser area or a full page, collect what you need, and keep the page’s links in the capture.

  • Region capture with scrolling
  • Visible-area capture for the current view
  • Full-page capture for longer pages

Hyperlink

A hyperlink connects a reader to another document or to a particular place within one.

In hypertext, a link can be attached to words, images, or other elements.

Links on the web

The visible label of a link is called anchor text. Following a link in a browser opens a related source.

Reading across pages

Definitions, articles and references can be connected through links. Each page offers a path to another idea.

Keep the context

A saved page is easier to revisit when its original links remain available alongside the image.

Link destinations

A link can lead to another article, a file, or a specific section within a longer document. Its destination URL keeps that connection explicit.

Reading with references

Follow a definition to understand a term, then return to the original article. References and related pages let a reader explore an idea from several directions.

Saving a useful source

A long article may contain context well below the first screen. Keeping the complete page preserves the introduction, supporting details and references together.

Further reading

Continue with Hypertext, Anchor text and Web browser. Each source offers another path through the same topic.

Annotate & edit

Mark up right on the capture. Box, point, write and blur, while its links stay in place.

Linxshot searches the page text inside your captures. When the text in a capture, or part of a link’s address, matches what you type, it takes you straight to that spot on the image.

  • Searches page text and links inside captures, not just titles
  • Text matches turn yellow; matching links get a blue dashed edge
  • Precise text matching
  • Copy text from captures freely

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Linxshot, clickable PDF exports, pricing and security.

Yes, in two ways. Export the capture as a linked PDF: a standard PDF with real link annotations that opens in Chrome, Edge, Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview or a phone's PDF viewer, with no Linxshot needed. Free includes 3 linked PDF exports a day, and Pro removes the limit. Or create a share link: recipients view the image and click its links in their browser, and Linxshot users can save a copy. You can also download the original image as PNG.
Linxshot is free to start: every capture mode, link hotspots, an unlimited local library, search by name, domain and links, deep search over the last 5 days, library backups, 3 linked PDF exports a day with manual page breaks, and 5 share links a day. Pro is a one-time purchase that lets you keep using its local features, adding deep search across every capture, unlimited linked PDF exports, advanced annotations, selecting and copying page text, and custom hotspot colors, plus 100 share links a day. Share-link limits follow the share service’s rules and may change.
Not by default. Screenshots, link positions and library data stay in your browser's local database, and backups are files you export yourself. A copy is uploaded only when you choose to create a share link; revoking it or letting it expire never deletes your local original. The full privacy policy is linked at the bottom of this page.
Linxshot supports Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The official store listing is the final word on availability.
No. Pro is a one-time purchase that lets you keep using the Pro features listed at purchase. Possible future services that rely on servers running continuously, such as cloud sync, aren’t included and will be offered separately.

Your next screenshot can keep its links.
