Capture

• Area, window and full-screen screenshots from a shortcut or the Drop Zone
• One-click window capture, with its shadow on a transparent background on Mac
• Pixel-exact selector with a frozen screen, a magnifier and Smart Crop Snapping
• Screen recording at 30 or 60 fps, or 120 on 120 Hz screens, with computer sound, microphone or both
• Pause, resume, restart or discard; Cropped's windows stay out of the video
• Quick Trim before a recording is optimized; the original is kept
• Annotate with arrows, boxes, circles, X marks, text, numbered steps, drawing, focus mask, blur, hide and crop
• Guides: step-by-step how-tos from screenshots, restyled all at once
• Captures auto-optimized, copied to the clipboard, dragged into any app
• 5-second timer, repeat last area, capture history with Delete and Undo
• Every shortcut editable, Mac screenshot keys optional

Images

• Crop with rotate, flip, exact sizes and smart crop
• Resize by width, height or scale; compress to a quality
• WebP, AVIF, JPEG and PNG
• Remove backgrounds in one click, on your computer: see-through or any colour behind, with an edge brush
• Compare before and after, with real file sizes
• Presets and collections, shareable by link or JSON
• 51 platform sizes for X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok and 7 more
• Frames: every export size side by side, previewed in a feed post, Story or header
• PNG or JPG copies of WebP and AVIF social sizes, ready to post
• Favicon and app icons: favicon.ico, iPhone and Android icons, a web manifest, Mac .icns and Windows .ico from one image
• Arrange several screenshots into one image, evenly spaced on the background you pick
• Batch: settings apply to every image in the queue
• Agent / LLM preset for lighter screenshots in AI chats

Video & GIF

• Trim, crop, resize and choose the frame rate
• Video editor: join videos and images, split, reorder and trim on a timeline
• Zoom on clicks: recordings zoom in smoothly on each click, and you can move, change or turn off every zoom
• Your own music under the video, a recorded voiceover and each clip's volume
• Captions made on your computer from what's said: edit, time and style them, burn them in or save .srt and .vtt
• Clip picker: hover the timeline, press + to keep a part, drag its ends; kept clips export joined
• MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and GIF
• H.264, HEVC, AV1 and VP9; AAC or Opus audio up to 5.1
• Aim for a quality, an average bitrate or a maximum file size
• Preset groups for the web, email, sharing and more
• HDR clips converted instead of failing
• GIF to MP4 and back, with loop, color and dithering controls

Drop Zone & app

• Floating Drop Zone in any corner of your desktop
• Drop a batch: progress bar, one success card and Undo
• Drag results into Finder, Mail, Slack or a browser
• Select several captures or results and drag them out together
• AI tools for Claude, Cursor and Codex: capture, annotate, resize and edit video, with ready-made prompts and recipes
