What is the Screenshot Tool?

The Screenshot Tool captures an image of the current webpage. It takes a picture of exactly what you see on your screen and saves it as a file on your computer.

This is useful for saving information from websites, keeping a record of important pages, or sharing what you see with others.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • Students who need to save information for assignments
  • Anyone who wants to keep a record of webpage content
  • People who need to share what they see online with others
  • Researchers who want to document web sources
  • Anyone who needs to capture website content quickly

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.

I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says they really understand people with dyslexia

Huge fan of the zoom feature. It trumps the native zoom in your browser since the zoom level you set actually stays with you no matter what page you go to, which is very helpful and meshes well with the other features the app offers.
