Features that make screenshots effortless

Everything you need to capture, mark up and share — built right into your browser.

Capture anything

Grab the visible area, a single element, or a full scrolling page that SwiftShot auto-stitches into one tall image — plus delayed capture for hover menus and tooltips.

Powerful annotation

Pencil, highlighter, arrows, lines, shapes, text in three styles and numbered step markers — every element stays movable, resizable and editable after the fact.

Blur & pixelate

Hide private data, faces or emails before you share, with adjustable blur or pixelation intensity over any region.

Stickers & emoji

Drop in 90+ animated stickers, cursors and shapes, the full emoji set, or your own PNG / JPEG / GIF / WebP uploads — recent and favourites always one click away.

One-key shortcuts

Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + S to capture, number keys to switch tools, V to select, S for stickers — stay fast and stay in flow.

Local & private

Screenshots and history live in your browser and are never uploaded automatically. No tracking, no analytics, no account required.

Frame & Beautify

Wrap any shot in gradient, solid, pattern or image backgrounds with padding, rounded corners, shadows, social aspect ratios and browser or macOS window mockups.

Share & export

Save as PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, export an animated GIF or WebM, or copy, upload, email and post to Slack — all from one button.

Searchable history

Every capture is kept locally and searchable, filtered by Today, 7 days, 30 days or Favourites. Star the ones to keep and reopen any in the editor.
