Heya Hunters 😻 I’m Jim, the indie hacker behind BrandBird, and I’m very excited to show you the new Chrome extension! In a nutshell, the Chrome extension is a quick way to import a website screenshot (or part of it) into the BrandBird studio and turn it into a beautiful sharable social media graphic. Inside the BrandBird studio, you can customize its background, add mockups, annotate it, add catchy 3D effects, and many more. The BrandBird Chrome extension supports 4 options (for now 😏): ✷ Screenshot Active Tab ✷ Extract Specific Element ✷ Generate an Open Graph (OG) Image ✷ Highlight Product Features (for tutorials, feature announcements, etc) On top of that, you can access all your BrandBird account templates, and apply a specific preset to all your screenshots. To celebrate the official release of the plugin, I want to offer an exclusive 2-week offer. Grab a license today, and get 15% off for all the plans with the code PH15. Valid until July 7th. Very excited to hear your thoughts & learn your idea to make it even better 🚀 Cheers, Jim Raptis

I've been using BrandBird since January 22nd, and since then, it's become my all-time favorite tool made by an Indie Hacker. Designing beautiful graphics has *never* been easier for me. I use it for literally everything. - Tweet images - Blog Post Feature Images - Guides and Annotations - Sharing Screenshots I couldn't stop paying for it even if I wanted to!

I've been using the Beta Extension for the last 3 weeks and it's almost magical haha Congratulations on the launch @draptis!

A tool for really beautiful screenshots, I wish I had know it before launching automation with 'ordinary' website screeenshots. And you dont even mention the neat bulk image creation feature ...

@torsten_p Ohh man, that's a bad coincidence! Good luck on your launch today 👌 Bulk image creation is a use case that I'll focus on in the upcoming months. I've already built a website screenshotting tool and want to combine it with the BrandBird API for beautiful website screenshots in bulk.
Tom P.
@draptis Thanks, looking forward to the improved bulk features. Just suggested you for nosignup tools

@mironshe Happy to learn your thoughts once you check it :) Thinking about options like cropping an area, extracting tweets, and making the highlight feature editable.
Payam
Great work and very useful product for making component screenshots. I tried it but it kept asking me for API key, even though I have already entered the API key before. Congrats on your launch.

@payam_saremi Thanks for checking Payam 🙌 That sounds like an annoying bug, will have a look at it. Does it ask for your API key, you enter it, run a command, and then it asks it again the next time you use the extension? Or doesn't it accept the API key at all?
Payam
@draptis yes, the extension popup asks for API key again after I have already used the product once.
