About Split Screen for Google Chrome

Split Screen for Google Chrome — organize your browser windows into clean, side-by-side layouts with a single click. No more dragging, resizing, and lining windows up by hand: pick a layout and Split Screen instantly tiles your Chrome windows across one or more monitors. This release is a ground-up refresh — a redesigned interface, a brand-new visual layout editor, smarter multi-monitor handling, and a leaner, more private set of permissions. WHAT IT DOES Split Screen arranges your Chrome windows into tidy grids so you can see everything at once. Watch a video while you take notes, keep chat and docs side by side, compare two pages, or run a four-window dashboard. Open the popup, choose a layout, and your windows snap into place — pixel-perfect, edge to edge, with no awkward gaps or overlaps. It works whether you have a single screen or several monitors, and it remembers exactly how you like to work, so your perfect setup is always just one click away. A FRESH, SIMPLER DESIGN The popup has been rebuilt from scratch for clarity and speed. Switch between One screen and Two screen layouts with a tap. Every layout is shown as a live preview card, so you can see exactly how your windows will be arranged before you click. A friendly confirmation appears with each action, and the whole experience is fast, lightweight, and clutter-free. BUILD YOUR OWN LAYOUTS The new visual layout editor lets you design exactly the arrangement you want. Drag panes to move them, drag a corner to resize, and everything snaps to a tidy grid automatically. Add or remove panes, rename your layouts, and use quick-fill templates like Halves, Thirds, Quad, and Heads Up to start fast. Your custom layouts appear right alongside the built-in ones in the popup, and everything saves automatically. BUILT-IN LAYOUTS Get going immediately with ready-made presets: Half & Half, Big & Small, Small & Big, The Four, Heads Up, and Heads Down for a single screen, plus One & One, Four Across, Solo + Split, and Split + Solo for dual-monitor setups. REAL MULTI-MONITOR SUPPORT Split Screen now detects your displays reliably and arranges windows on the screen you are actually using — no more layouts unexpectedly jumping to your primary monitor. Two-screen layouts span your monitors the way you would expect. Not sure which display is which? Use Identify Screens to flash a big number on each one. The number overlays now close themselves automatically. SPREAD YOUR TABS Turn on "Spread my open tabs across the new windows" and Split Screen will distribute the tabs from your current window into the new ones as it arranges them — no more empty New Tab pages. Your pinned tabs stay put, and your tab groups are preserved, keeping their names and colors intact. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Apply your favorite layouts without opening the popup. Press Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+2 for your first two layouts, and Ctrl+Shift+0 to restore. You can customize every shortcut from Chrome's keyboard settings. ONE-CLICK RESTORE Changed your mind? Restore puts your windows back where they were before the last arrangement — a simple, reliable undo. SNAP A SINGLE WINDOW Right-click the toolbar icon to snap just the focused window to the left half, right half, top, bottom, or full screen, without touching your other windows. PICK YOUR TARGET SCREEN For single-screen layouts, choose whether to use the monitor your current window is on, or always use your primary display. WHAT WE FIXED This release squashes a long list of issues reported by users: - Multi-monitor layouts no longer jump to the wrong screen. - Windows now tile precisely with no gaps, overlaps, or off-screen edges, across different display-scaling settings. - Your settings and custom layouts now save and persist correctly. - The Identify-screen overlays reliably close on their own. - Numerous stability and polish fixes throughout. PRIVACY FIRST We trimmed the extension's permissions to only what it truly needs. Split Screen does not read your browsing history, your tab contents, or the pages you visit. It only needs to see your displays and to move and group your windows. No tracking, no data collection, no surprises. WHO IT IS FOR Perfect for multitaskers, researchers, traders, developers, writers, students, and anyone teaching or presenting online who wants to keep several windows visible at once — with or without a second monitor. Whether you are comparing sources, watching and working at the same time, or building the perfect dashboard, Split Screen makes it effortless. Install Split Screen for Google Chrome and turn window-wrangling into a single click. Spend less time fiddling with windows and more time doing the work that matters. We would love your feedback and a rating — it genuinely helps us keep improving the extension for everyone.
