SnapGban: The Ultimate Go Game Record Editor

📥 Download from Chrome Web Store

SnapGoban is a free browser extension for viewing, editing, printing, and exporting Go (Baduk/Weiqi)
game records. Compatible with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Renamed from “GORewrite” (v3.0.0)
The former name was inspired by the desktop app “GOWrite.” However, pasting diagrams into Microsoft
Word/Excel in vector format (EMF/WMF) proved impossible due to browser extension limitations. We have
shifted our focus from being a Word/DTP-oriented tool to a lightweight, browser-based Go kifu tool for
everyone.
