Helping to put your best digital foot forward is Snip and Share.

As the name suggests, this free Chrome extension lets you capture and share virtually any sort of content from the web. Whether it's a GIF, image, video, text or screenshot.

Here's how it works. You either log in via Facebook or Twitter, then select the Snip and Share icon when you want to share content.

The extension allows you to either take a screenshot, highlight a certain element (such as a GIF) or share the entire page.

You can also add your own text to content, and share it via Facebook, Twitter or email.

If you're looking to liven up your social posts with some sweet shared content, Snip and Share could be just the ticket.
