The screenshot is also automatically copied to your clipboard, so you can paste it anywhere you want right away. The screenshot editor has all the basic tools you’d expect, like cropping, drawing, and text.

That’s all about it! This is a nifty little feature to easily take and edit screenshots in Chrome. The editor window is especially nice since you don’t have to drop the screenshot into another app to make changes. Chrome has a lot of little features like this to know about.
