Step by step

Three steps, a few seconds.

  1. Capture the area

    Press ⌘⇧2 on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+2 on Windows, then drag over what you want. A small card shows the screenshot.

  2. Annotate it if you like

    Press Edit on the card and add an arrow, a numbered step or a highlight, so people see what you mean.

  3. Press Get link

    The screenshot goes to your own bucket and the link is copied to your clipboard. Paste it anywhere.

Worth knowing

Before you share it.

  • Links need your own storage

    Add a Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2 bucket once, in Settings. The storage is yours, so nothing passes through our servers.

  • The link stays yours

    The file sits in your bucket under a long random name. If VizShot ever disappeared, your links would not.

  • Your own web address works

    Point a domain at your bucket and your links use it.

  • Pixelate can be reversed. Redact can’t.

    For passwords and card numbers, use Redact. It is a solid block.

The same on Mac and Windows.

Same steps, same tools. Only the shortcut changes. One key covers two computers.

Questions

Asked, and answered.

How do I turn a screenshot into a link?

Take the screenshot with VizShot and press Get link on the card. The screenshot is uploaded to your own bucket and the link is copied to your clipboard.

Where does the screenshot go?

To your own Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2 bucket, straight from your computer. It never passes through our servers.

Who can open the link?

Anyone who has the link. Every upload gets a random 32-character name, so nobody can guess a link they have not been given.

Can the link use my own web address?

Yes. Point a domain at your bucket and your links use it.

How do I share a screenshot online?

Upload it and send the link. With VizShot that is one press of Get link: the screenshot goes to your own storage, and anyone you give the link to can open it in a browser.
