Share a screenshot or a recording with a link, without running your own storage. Upload from Snim, get a snim.dev link on your clipboard, and let it stop working after a while. For captures that…
Pick the color of any pixel on screen and copy its hex code, without opening another tool.
Decide what happens after each screenshot. Copy it, save it or upload it, then open the editor, show a small preview card in a corner of the screen, or show nothing at all. Most captures are copy…
Publish Snim on Flathub next to Snim's own Flatpak repository, so it shows up in GNOME Software and Discover.
Code-sign the Windows installer and executable, so SmartScreen stops warning on the first launch.
Install Snim on Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions straight from the AUR, with the helper you already use, and update it along with the rest of your system. Until then, Arch users can install the…
On KDE Plasma, Snim takes screenshots straight from KWin, Plasma's compositor. Press the hotkey and the area selector is there at once, with no permission dialog in the way, every single time.
Your keyboard's screenshot key can open Snim instead of the system tool: Print Screen on Windows and Linux, Shift+Cmd+3, 4 and 5 on macOS. Snim frees the key for you and gives it back just as…
Drive Snim from a terminal, a script or an AI coding agent: take a screenshot, record the screen, read text with OCR and upload a file, without touching the tray. Nothing is reachable until you switch…
Make a raw screenshot presentable in one click: set it on a solid, gradient or wallpaper background with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow. Ready for docs, slides, posts and READMEs…
Select any part of the screen and Snim copies the text in it to your clipboard. Perfect for error messages, text inside images and videos, or apps that will not let you select. Recognition runs on…
Turn a screen recording into an animated GIF or WebP that plays inline almost anywhere: chats, issues, pull requests and docs. Trim the recording first, then export just the part that matters.
Pick a color anywhere on screen and copy it as hex or rgb. A small thing that would save a trip to another app.
Capture a whole page by scrolling and stitching the frames. Hard to get right across toolkits, but the most requested capture mode.
A zero-setup upload target for people who do not run their own storage. Anonymous uploads keep it simple.
Put yourself in the corner of a screen recording: a round, live webcam bubble that is recorded along with your screen. Handy for walkthroughs, demos and bug reports, where a face and a voice explain…
Crop a screenshot inside the editor after you take it, without starting over. Cut away the extra desktop, frame just the dialog you care about, and keep your annotations and backdrop as they are.
Pause a recording while you look something up or set up the next step, then pick up where you left off. The pause is cut out of the file, so the video plays straight through with no frozen frames…
Install and update Snim the way your system expects: a .deb or .rpm on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, a Flatpak on any Linux distribution, and a Homebrew cask on macOS. No building from source and no…
Snim runs natively on Windows 10 and 11, with the same capture, annotation, recording, OCR and upload features as on Linux and macOS. Install it for your user without admin rights, or keep a…
