Chrome browser extension

One click. Court-ready proof.

HashShot's Chrome extension captures any screenshot, hashes the bytes locally with SHA-256, and anchors the fingerprint to a public blockchain — before the page can be edited or taken down.

Capture

Screenshot the visible tab, the full page, or a selection.

The extension pops up wherever you are — newspaper article, infringing listing, regulator's dashboard. Click once and the image is captured, hashed, and anchored without leaving the page.

Validate

Re-verify any file, instantly.

Switch to the Validate tab and drop in a JPG. The extension computes its SHA-256, checks it against the on-chain record, and tells you in milliseconds whether the bytes match the original capture.

Privacy

Pixels never leave your device.

SHA-256 is computed in the browser. Only the resulting 64-character fingerprint — which reveals nothing about the underlying image — is written to the public ledger. The screenshot itself stays on your disk.

Specifications

Lightweight, auditable, and fully offline-capable for verification.

Anchor
Public ledger
Hashes are written to a public, independently-operated blockchain.
