ScreenshotX

Guides for screenshots and screen recording on Mac

Short, practical answers on capturing, marking up and sharing what's on your screen.

A screenshot tool for Mac with markup and sharing

ScreenshotX is a menu-bar screenshot app for Mac. Press a shortcut, choose an area, window, full screen or scrolling page, mark it up with arrows, text and blur, then copy it, save it or share it as a link. Basic costs $25 once.

How to take a scrolling screenshot on Mac

macOS can't capture a long page in one go. In ScreenshotX, choose Scrolling capture, select the area, and scroll: the app stitches the pieces into a single tall image you can annotate, save or share.

How to copy text from a screenshot on Mac

Use ScreenshotX's "Read text from screen" command: select any area of your screen and the text inside it is recognised on your Mac and copied to the clipboard. Recognition runs on-device, so the image is not sent anywhere.

Share screenshots and screen recordings with a link

With ScreenshotX Pro, one click uploads a screenshot or recording to your private cloud and copies a share link. Viewers need no account, you see view counts, and links can be password protected, restricted to your team or set to expire.

A CleanShot X alternative for Mac

ScreenshotX is a Mac screenshot, screen-recording and annotation app with cloud sharing, built for people who want the same kind of workflow as CleanShot X. Basic is $25 once with a year of updates; Pro is $84 a year with unlimited cloud.
