Setup

Install with Load unpacked

Until Chrome Web Store approval, use Developer mode. Same steps for Chrome, Edge, and Opera.

Download ZIP (v1.0.0)

Extract first — browsers load a folder, not the ZIP itself.

  1. 1

    Download & extract

    Download the ZIP below, then extract it to a folder you will keep (for example Documents/genpbr-capture). Do not leave it only in Downloads if you clean that folder often.

  2. 2

    Open extensions

    In the address bar open chrome://extensions (Chrome), edge://extensions (Edge), or opera://extensions (Opera).

  3. 3

    Enable Developer mode

    Toggle Developer mode in the top-right of the extensions page. This is required for Load unpacked until the store listing is live.

  4. 4

    Load unpacked

    Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder that contains manifest.json (not the parent ZIP, and not a nested empty wrapper).

  5. 5

    Pin GenPBR Capture

    Open the toolbar puzzle / extensions menu and pin GenPBR Capture for quick access to free-use status and API key settings.
