How to copy a screenshot to your clipboard

On Windows, press Windows+Shift+S and select an area. On a Mac, press ⌘+Ctrl+Shift+4 and select an area. Both put the screenshot on your clipboard, ready to paste here.

Better bug reports

An arrow and a number on the exact element saves a round of “which button do you mean?”. Blur customer data before attaching the screenshot to a ticket.

Frequently asked questions

How do I paste a screenshot?+

Copy it to your clipboard (Windows+Shift+S on Windows, ⌘+Ctrl+Shift+4 on a Mac), then press Ctrl+V or ⌘+V anywhere on this page.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?+

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Closing the tab discards it.

Which image formats can I open?+

PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP and, in recent browsers, AVIF. For a GIF, only the first frame is used. The result is always saved as a PNG.

Does it reduce the image quality?+

No. Your marks are drawn onto a copy at the image’s full resolution, and PNG is lossless. Very large images (over about 16 megapixels) are scaled down so browsers can handle them.

Is it free? Do I need an account?+

Yes, it’s free and there’s no signup, watermark or daily limit. An account is only needed if you want teammates or clients to comment on the file in edits.io.
