A screenshot tool that does not stop at the capture

Take the screenshot and it opens in an editor instead of landing in a folder. Mark it up, drop it on a background, blur what should stay private, or lift the text straight out of it.

Scroll Capture is part of Pro, a one-time $39 purchase. Everything else on this page is free.

A captured table open in the OwnClip screenshot editor, its markup toolbar along the top, with the email addresses and phone numbers in it being blurred — The screenshot editor working on a capture — here, blurring the personal data out of it

The capture opens somewhere useful.

The shot arrives in the screenshot editor. Markup sits on the toolbar, and the menu beside it holds Adjustments, Beautify and Extract Text — on the capture you took a second ago.

Ways to take a screenshot

Five ways to take one, and the panel that catches whatever comes out of them.

A whole display

One screen captured whole, menu bar included.

A single window

The window on its own, without the desktop showing around its edges.

A region you drag

A rectangle over the part that matters, at the moment it matters.

A region across two displays

Drag past the edge of one screen and the selection carries on over the next.

A page that scrollsPro

Scroll Capture keeps going past the bottom of the window and returns the whole page as one image.

Quick Access

Each capture lands in a floating panel alongside the last few, so the next step is a click instead of a hunt through a folder.

Beautify

A flat shot, ready to send.

Drop the capture onto a background with padding, rounded corners and a shadow when it is going into a changelog or a deck.

It all happens on your Mac

Captures are ordinary image files in a folder on your Mac. Text extraction, object removal and the adjustments run on your own machine — nothing is uploaded to be processed.

Magic Erase paints something out of a shot and closes the background behind it. Its High Quality engine downloads a model once, then works from your Mac like the rest.

You do need to sign in to use OwnClip, so it is not usable fully offline. Free exports carry a small watermark; Pro is $39 once and removes it.

From shortcut to sent

1Take itA display, a window or a region you drag, straight from a keystroke.
2Catch itThe capture appears in the Quick Access panel with the last few, so none of them go missing.
3Work on itMark it up, blur what should stay private, or put it on a background.
4Send itCopy it to the clipboard, save it, or drag it into wherever it was going.

Capture Text

Text in a picture, as text.

Drag over any text on screen and get it back as text you can edit and paste. It runs on your Mac. Free accounts get five extractions a month; Pro and Studio are unlimited.

What people take these for

A bug someone else has to fix

The error, the state it happened in, and an arrow at the part that went wrong — one image instead of a paragraph.

Feedback on a layout

A box drawn around the spacing problem, instead of three replies describing where it is.

A step in a written process

Numbered badges on a capture, so the document shows each step rather than describing one.

Something you need as text

A reference number or an error string, pulled out of the image instead of retyped from it.
