Screenshots for QA & bug reports — capture, mark up, redact
To file a screenshot for a bug report, capture the whole page in one click, mark the problem with arrows and notes, hide any sensitive details before you save, and export it as PNG or PDF — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Rendry bundles capture, markup, redaction, single-element capture, and a tidy list of a page's links so you can document a defect and check for broken links without leaving the tab.
How do I capture a screenshot for a bug report?
Open the page where the bug appears and press Alt+Shift+R, or click the Rendry icon and hit capture. You get the entire page — including content that loads as you scroll — as a single clean image, so a reviewer sees the full context rather than a cropped viewport. Cookie banners, chat widgets, ads, and popups are tidied away automatically, so the report shows the actual defect and not the clutter around it.
Full-page PNG and PDF capture is free, with no watermark and no signup. Every capture opens in the built-in editor, where crop, copy to clipboard, and PNG/PDF export are also free — enough to attach a precise, readable screenshot to any ticket.
How do I redact a bug-report screenshot?
Bug reports often pass through Jira, Slack, or a shared drive, so a screenshot can quietly expose a customer's email, a token, or an account number. Smart Redact (Pro) hides sensitive details before you save, then lets you review, undo, or restore each one in the editor — so you can file the bug without leaking the next person's data. For anything else, the editor's blur tool covers a region by hand.
Everything stays on your machine; redaction happens in the browser and nothing is uploaded. See how to redact a screenshot for the full walk-through.
How do I mark up a screenshot with arrows and notes?
After capture, the editor opens in a local tab. The Pro markup tools let you draw arrows to point straight at the broken element, add shapes to box off an area, and drop text notes describing what went wrong and what you expected — turning a flat image into a clear, self-explanatory report a developer can act on without a back-and-forth.
If you only need the broken component rather than the whole page, element capture (Pro) grabs a single element — including the part scrolled below the fold — so your report stays focused. See how to screenshot one element.
How do I check a page for broken links?
From a capture, copy the page's links (Pro) to get a clean, complete list ready to paste into a checker, a spreadsheet, or a ticket. It is a fast way to audit navigation, footers, and CTAs for dead links during QA, or to hand a reviewer an at-a-glance inventory of where every link on the page points.
You can also copy the page's text and tables in the same step, which is handy for capturing exact error messages or copy that needs fixing alongside the screenshot.
Who it's for
- QA testers documenting defects with full context and clear annotations.
- Developers filing or triaging bugs who need the broken element, not the whole noisy page.
- Support teams replying to tickets without exposing another customer's data.
- Product managers and designers reviewing pages and flagging issues for the build team.
Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to take a screenshot for a bug report?
Press Alt+Shift+R on the affected page. Rendry captures the entire page in one click — no scrolling or DevTools — and opens it in the editor where you can mark up the issue and export. Full-page PNG and PDF capture is free, with no watermark and no account.
Can I hide sensitive data before sharing a bug screenshot?
Yes. Smart Redact (Pro) hides sensitive details before you save, and lets you review, undo, or restore each one in the editor. You can also blur any region by hand. Redaction runs in your browser, so private information never leaves your machine.
How do I capture just the broken component instead of the whole page?
Use element capture (Pro): choose Capture element in the popup, then click the part of the page you want. Rendry grabs only that element — including content scrolled below the fold — keeping your bug report focused on the defect rather than the surrounding layout.
Can Rendry help me find broken links on a page?
Yes. With Pro you can copy a page's links from a capture as a clean, complete list, ready to paste into a link checker or spreadsheet. It's a quick way to audit navigation, footers, and CTAs for dead links during QA.
Is Rendry free for bug reports?
The core is free: full-page PNG and PDF capture, automatic clean-up of banners and popups, and the editor's crop, copy, and export. Markup tools, Smart Redact, element capture, and copying links are Pro ($2/month) with a 7-day free trial.
