PageReel — Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026

PageReel is a Chrome extension that captures a full, scrolling screenshot of the webpage you are currently viewing. This policy explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with your data.

What PageReel does

When you click "Capture full page," PageReel scrolls the active tab, takes a series of screenshots using Chrome's built-in captureVisibleTab API, stitches them into a single PNG image entirely on your device, and saves that file to your Downloads folder.

What PageReel does not do

• It does not collect, transmit, or store the content of any page you capture.
• It has no backend server. No page content, screenshot, or browsing data ever leaves your computer.
• It does not use analytics, telemetry, or third-party trackers.
• It does not sell or share data, because none is collected.

Permissions PageReel requests, and why

• activeTab / scripting — to read the page's dimensions, scroll it, and draw the temporary progress overlay, only on the tab you actively invoke the extension on.
• downloads — to save the finished screenshot to your Downloads folder.
• offscreen — to stitch the captured tiles into one image using a canvas, which isn't available inside the extension's background service worker.
• storage — to remember your preferred capture quality setting (Fast/Balanced/Thorough) locally on your device.
