Share Files and Screenshots Directly From Chrome

The TempDrop Chrome extension brings temporary file sharing, full-tab screenshots, area snipping, and clipboard uploads directly into your browser toolbar. No accounts, no subscriptions, and automatic 72-hour expiration.

The Desktop Power-User Companion

Built on Chrome Extension Manifest V3 with native host permissions

While the TempDrop website is ideal for one-off transfers, the Chrome extension eliminates repetitive context switching. Whether you need to share a quick bug screenshot with an engineer, drop a 2 GB client video render, or convert a copied image into a temporary link, you can execute the entire workflow without leaving your current browser tab.

Why Use the Extension Instead of the Website?

Fewer Steps & No Tab Clutter

Never open a separate tab just to upload a file. Click the toolbar icon, drag your file into the popup, and copy the link in seconds.

Screenshot to Link in 1 Click

Capture your current tab or crop a custom region with crosshairs. The extension creates the screenshot and uploads it automatically.

Instant Clipboard Paste

Copied a graphic in Figma, Slack, or a design tool? Press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V directly inside the extension popup to upload it immediately.

Right-Click Context Menu

Right-click any image or media asset on any web page to share it through TempDrop without downloading it to your local hard drive first.

Dedicated Local History

Access your last 10 uploads directly in the popup. Re-copy active links or check expiration countdowns without visiting the website.

Unrestricted Host Permissions

Native extension permissions allow direct upload streams to the storage provider, bypassing restrictive browser CORS barriers.

Full Extension Feature Set

  • Up to 4 GB file uploads: Send large videos, ISOs, and project archives directly from Chrome.
  • Tab screenshot capture: Snapshot the visible tab in high resolution with one click.
  • Area / snipping capture: Drag a custom bounding box over any page element to upload only what matters.
  • Clipboard paste detection: Press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V to convert copied graphics into temporary links.
  • Automatic link copy: As soon as the upload completes, the shareable link is copied to your clipboard.
  • QR code generation: Scan generated QR codes on your phone for immediate mobile handoffs.
  • Multi-file ZIP bundling: Package multiple files into a single compressed archive automatically.
  • Automatic 72-hour deletion: Same strict privacy model—all files self-destruct after 3 days.
