Best Chrome Extensions for Creative Work

Among the most well-known and extensively utilized browsers globally is Google Chrome.  According

to StatCounter, 66.30% of the global browser market is occupied by Google Chrome.  Edge and

Mozilla Firefox is the next most popular browser, with Safari coming in second.  Although some

users might disagree due to privacy issues, Google Chrome is commended for its user-friendliness and

productivity.  Due to its strongest feature—expandability—it is also the most preferred option for the

majority of developers.

If I told you that I am an authority on Chrome productivity addons, you would probably think that I am a model of efficiency and concentration.  In reality, my competence stems from a desperate struggle to control a brain that said, "No, I'd rather juggle flaming chainsaws," after viewing the concept of "linear thinking," all because of ADHD.

Must-have Chrome extensions for designers

The work of a designer is imaginative and enjoyable. However, every profession involves some degree of annoyance and tiresome manual labor.  We've put together a list of 15 of our top Chrome extensions that could improve your productivity, spark your creativity, or make you love your work more overall. To be honest, the lowest three utilities aren't Chrome extensions. But because we thought they were so amazing, they remained on this list.

Colorzilla

Everyone finds HEX code to be inconvenient.  The same brand colors should be used on websites and in display ads. You don't always have your brand book with you. At least when it comes to colors, you can avoid doing so if you have Colorzilla installed.  You can receive a color reading from anywhere in your browser using ColorZilla, and you can adjust the color quickly and paste it into another program.  With so many more helpful features, it is the most comprehensive color picker on the market.

Site Palette

Site Palette is your tool if you require every color from a website. It creates color schemes using the website's coding as a guide. It lets you download automatically generated Sketch templates and make shareable links.

WhatFont

Have you ever investigated the typeface on a website you genuinely like?   How many times have you not brought anything?   WhatFont can determine the font used for any text you view in your browser by hovering over it. When a customer at an agency forgets the font name they want to use for their display ads, it's really useful.

Image Downloader

Image Downloader is the perfect add-on if you ever need to download a lot of images from a webpage.  For publishers and agencies that produce a lot of display ads for SMB clients with limited resources, this is a particularly helpful tool.  With the help of Image Downloader's other features, you may alter the width, columns, border size, and color of an image's display or filter photos on a page by width, height, and URL.

Pageruler

Use Pageruler to maintain pixel-perfect designs.  With the help of this useful tool, you can measure and draw a ruler to determine the proportions and placement of pixels on any webpage.

Designers Ruler

A straightforward on-screen ruler called Designers Ruler allows designers to measure anything on the internet.  It's really easy to use, but it has some really helpful features like type measurements and a drop-down overlay.

Corporate Ipsum

I'm not sure if this is a genuine issue, but Corporate Ipsum produces arbitrary corporate jargon that differs from the standard lorem ipsum writings.  This tool's ability to produce filler content by word or paragraph is what makes it so helpful.  An unquestionable time-saver!

Window Resizer

If their designs are appropriate for varying screen resolutions, digital designers want to know.  Using Window Resizer, you can test your ideas across a range of screen and browser resolutions.  An excellent tool for making a last-minute edit to your designs.

Dark Reader


With this eye-care plugin, you may create dark themes for websites instantly by enabling night mode.  Bright colors are inverted in Dark Reader, which creates a strong contrast and makes it easier to read at night.  Font settings, dark mode, contrast, brightness, sepia filter, and ignore-list can all be changed.  Deactivate related extensions before installing.

Pexels Chrome extension

Everybody can use a little inspiration now and again.  Every time you open a new tab in your browser, the Pexels Chrome extension displays a stunning image.  You will be amazed by this extension a few times every day.  One of the many excellent stock photo sites that provides a wealth of free content is Pexels.

Easy Screen Capture

With its frequent updates and ability to save screenshots as PNG and PDF files or share them immediately, this screen capture application is a superb alternative to most other options available.  The extension provides some basic editing capabilities so you don't have to open, modify, and save your file, and Easy Screen Capture also lets you specify a default folder for your screenshots.

RescueTime for Google Chrome™

On most days of the week, you are occupied all day.  By the end of the week, though, it is difficult to remember exactly what you did.  not to mention by the conclusion of the previous month.  Does that sound familiar?  RescueTime facilitates the generation of insights from your job.  You may check how many hours you've spent on which projects for which clients, for instance, if you spend your time making display adverts for them.

TinyJPG/TinyPNG

Since everyone will eventually use TinyPNG to resize, compress, or crop images, it's a hard service to overlook.  It is primarily used to meet ad networks' file-size constraints or just to optimize your website's compression for speed and user experience.  TinyPNG is the place to go if the images you wish to use for your display advertising are heavy for whatever reason.

Conclusion

The purpose of these extensions is to provide designers with more productivity, creativity, and inspiration.  By adding these useful tools to your browser, you may improve your design process and reach new heights of efficiency and creativity.
