Free Nimbus Capture alternative: Webshot vs Nimbus Capture

Where Nimbus Capture works well

Teams already using FuseBase who want captures filed straight into client portals and workspaces.

Users who are happy with a short cloud-hosted clip and basic annotations.

Where people hit a wall

• A FuseBase account is required even for free use, and free recordings stop at 5 minutes.
• Blur, watermarks, video trimming and, according to recent reviews, full-page capture sit behind Pro.
• The original Nimbus listing is gone. The replacement extension carries a different name and a smaller install base.

What Webshot gives you free

• No account, no workspace, no registration step before the first capture.
• Unlimited recording length at full resolution.
• Full-page, region and element capture free, with blur and annotation free too.
• An auto-zoom editor that follows the cursor.
• Captures are saved on your device; upload is an option, never the default.
• A maintained Firefox version alongside Chrome, Edge and Brave.

Who should pick which

Pick Webshot if

• You liked Nimbus as a capture tool and have no use for a workspace product.
• You want blur and full-page capture without a Pro plan.
• Your recordings run longer than 5 minutes.
• You use Firefox.

Stay with Nimbus Capture if

• Your team's documents and client portals already live in FuseBase and captures belong next to them.
• You pay for Pro and want captures to land in the workspace automatically.

Switching from Nimbus Capture

1. Install Webshot. There is no registration; the popup opens on the Capture tab.
2. Screenshots and recordings save to your Downloads folder, or open in the editor first. Share links are available if you upload from the editor.
3. Export anything you still need from your FuseBase workspace before you leave it.

Every feature above is covered in the help center, and the Trust page lists what the extension can see and what it never sends.
