Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats can I upload?
You can upload PNG, JPG, and WebP images. Additionally, you can paste screenshots directly from your clipboard using Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) after taking a screenshot with your system's screenshot tool.
What formats can I export?
You can export as:
- PNG — Lossless format with best quality, ideal for documentation and web use
- JPG — Smaller file size with adjustable quality from 10% to 100%, perfect for social media and email
Is there a file size limit?
There is no strict file size limit since all processing happens in your browser. However, very large images (over 4000px in width or height) may take slightly longer to render depending on your device's processing power.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing is done entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, and no data is sent to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security for your screenshots.
What is the window frame feature?
The window frame adds a decorative title bar above your screenshot, mimicking the look of a macOS or Windows application window. It includes realistic details like:
- macOS: Traffic light buttons (red, yellow, green) for close, minimize, and maximize
- Windows: Standard window control icons for minimize, maximize, and close
This feature makes your screenshots look like they're captured from actual application windows, adding authenticity and context.
Can I use custom colors for the background?
Yes. You have full control over background colors:
- Custom Gradient: Pick two colors to create your own unique gradient
- Solid Color: Toggle the solid color button to use a single flat color as your background
- Preset Gradients: Choose from 12 professionally designed gradient presets
This flexibility allows you to match your brand colors or create the perfect aesthetic for your content.
What are the aspect ratio presets for?
Aspect ratio presets ensure your exported image has the correct dimensions for specific platforms. For example:
- Twitter: 1200 × 675 pixels (16:9) for optimal display in tweets and Twitter cards
- Facebook: 1200 × 630 pixels for link previews and shared posts
- LinkedIn: 1200 × 627 pixels for article headers and updates
When you select a preset, the canvas automatically adjusts to that ratio while keeping your screenshot centered and properly scaled.
How do I reset all settings?
Click the Reset button in the top-right corner of the interface. This action will:
- Clear the current image from the canvas
- Reset background to default gradient
- Restore padding, shadow, and radius to defaults
- Remove window frame if applied
- Reset export format to PNG
This gives you a clean slate to start beautifying a new screenshot.
