What's New

New

• 25 languages. ScreenSnap Pro now speaks your language. Pick from 25 languages in Settings → General → Language — English, Українська, Deutsch, Русский, Español, Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Français, Italiano, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Polski, Nederlands, Türkçe, Čeština, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk (Bokmål), Suomi, Magyar, Română, Ελληνικά, हिन्दी, and Tiếng Việt. Each language appears in its own native script with a country flag, so finding yours is easy even before you switch.

What's New

New

• Capture History. Every capture is now kept in a private, local history so you can re-open recent shots even after deleting the original. Choose how long entries are kept — 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or 1 month — from the new History section in Settings. Open the History tab from the left navigation or directly from the tray menu, hover any thumbnail to restore it straight into Quick Preview, and clear the entire history at any time with one click. Off by default; turn it on whenever you want.
• Background effects — Blur and Noise. Soften the background behind your screenshot with a Blur effect, or add cinematic film grain with Noise. Dial in exactly how strong the effect is with the intensity slider.
• Shadow styles. Choose between three shadow presets — None, Spread (a soft, wide drop shadow), and Hug (a tight shadow that follows the screenshot edges) — and tune the opacity to taste.
• Quick Preview customization. A new Quick Preview section in Settings lets you pick where the preview appears (any corner), its size (Extra small through Extra large), how long it stays on screen before auto-closing (1–11 seconds), whether it closes after you drag it somewhere, and whether it follows your cursor across displays.

Improvements

• The Library tab now updates instantly when a new capture is saved or a file is deleted — no more switching tabs or refreshing to see your latest shot.
• Taking a screenshot no longer pulls the editor to the front. If your editor was tucked behind other windows when you grabbed a quick screenshot, it'll stay right where it was.

Fixes

• Pixelate and blur annotations in exported images now match exactly what you see on the canvas. Arrows, shapes, text, and other annotations placed on top of a pixelated or blurred area stay sharp and visible in the exported file.
• Multi-selecting annotations with Shift+Click now reliably works for three or more elements. Previously, after selecting two, adding a third would sometimes drag the existing selection instead of adding the new one.
• Fixed screen recording with Hide desktop icons enabled so Finder no longer pops up during recording and desktop icons return afterward.

What's New

Fixes

• Fixed Cmd+C in the screenshot editor so it copies the edited image again.
• Fixed screen recording with Hide desktop icons enabled so Finder no longer pops up during recording and desktop icons return afterward.

What's New

Improvements

• The Library now loads faster and keeps thumbnails more reliably up to date.
• App updates now happen quietly in the background and are applied the next time you open the app.
• You can now reveal Library files directly in Finder on macOS or Explorer on Windows.
• Library filters and hover states are easier to read and feel smoother.
• The editor header now only shows controls that are relevant to the current tab.

What's New

What's New

Improvements

• Renamed the sidebar Cloud tab to Library and updated its icon.
• Expanded Library to show local screenshots and recordings from the configured save folder, alongside cloud-backed files.
• Added Library filters for All, Cloud, Images, Videos, and GIFs, plus a remembered Grid/List view toggle.
• Added cloud badges, source-aware actions, local Save As conversion, and a cloud delete dialog for deleting cloud-only or both local and cloud copies.
• Improved Library performance for large folders with paged indexing, virtualized grid/list rendering, lazy thumbnails, and bounded thumbnail cache cleanup.
• Improved Pencil drawing reliability, especially for Windows users, by keeping active strokes alive when the pointer leaves the image edge.
• Added OCR inside the editor with selectable recognized text regions and automatic full-text copy when OCR is activated.
• Added editor image Crop mode with draggable/resizeable crop bounds, Apply/Cancel controls, and annotation-preserving image replacement.
• Added an Eraser mode alongside Hand for hover-previewing annotations and deleting them with a click.
• Reworked the primary tool panel: Emoji is now a first-row tool, Pencil is the default Text-group tool, and emoji placement switches to Hand with the new emoji selected.
• Made tool controls more consistent with disabled placeholders for unavailable color/size controls, plus a more opaque tool panel and higher-contrast sidebar labels.

What's New

Improvements

• Made Quick Preview appear faster after area, fullscreen, and window captures by showing the preview before background save work finishes.
• Cleaned up the window picker so ScreenSnap's own hidden helper windows no longer appear as capture choices.
• Improved OCR packaging on macOS so production users do not need Xcode command line tools to use text recognition.
• Improved native recording diagnostics and stability when ScreenCaptureKit exits unexpectedly.

What's New

Improvements

• Improved the blur tool so the editor preview now matches the exported result.
• Refined the default blur intensity for a more natural, less aggressive look.
• Fixed dragging, resizing, and rotating so they no longer get interrupted when the cursor moves near the edge of the canvas.

What's New

Improvements

• Fixed an issue where the editor could appear while selecting a screenshot area on Windows.
• Fixed captures on Windows so the selected area is captured instead of ScreenSnap's own overlay or editor window.
• Improved the capture flow so the editor hides before clipping and returns after the capture is complete.
• Improved screen recording startup on Windows to prevent ScreenSnap setup or picker windows from appearing in the recording.
• Added native Windows window controls to the editor, including minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
• Adjusted the Windows editor header spacing so native window controls have their own space above the app controls.
• Preserved the existing macOS editor experience, including the custom rounded window and native traffic light controls.
• Kept the fast macOS capture flow intact while improving shared capture reliability across platforms.
• Maintained the current macOS screen recording behavior while tightening startup timing for a more consistent experience.

What's New

Smoother recordings

• We made screen recordings start and stop cleanly every time, even after long sessions of back-to-back recordings.
• We now let you know straight away if something goes wrong while recording, instead of leaving you with a broken video.
• We cleaned up leftover background activity after a recording ends, so the app stays light and responsive.

Snappier everywhere

• We stopped the brief pause that happened when cloud uploads were getting started.
• We made preview thumbnails for recordings appear faster.
• We tidied up preview windows so the app keeps feeling fresh, even after a full day of use.

Safer under the hood

• We picked up the latest security updates from the tools we build on.

Screenshots and the editor are just as instant as before — we made sure not to touch what already feels fast.

What's New

• Significantly reduced CPU and GPU usage. Disabled CSS animations, transitions, and backdrop-filter blur effects that were causing a constant 25–30% CPU/GPU load on Mac even while idle.

What's New

Performance

• Screenshot activation is now near-instant — pressing the screenshot shortcut now shows the capture overlay in under 30ms, even on repeated use. Previously, subsequent activations could take up to 6 seconds.
• Fullscreen & window screenshots show previews faster — the quick preview now appears immediately after capture, without waiting for file saving to finish. Saving happens silently in the background.
• Text recognition (OCR) no longer has a cold-start delay — previously, using OCR after a few minutes of inactivity caused a 5+ second wait. Now it responds in under half a second every time.
• Editor zoom is smoother — zooming with trackpad pinch or scroll wheel is now fluid and responsive, with no more stuttering at higher zoom levels.
• Panning while zoomed in is smoother — dragging the canvas with the hand tool no longer lags.

New Features

• Quick Preview position setting — choose which corner of the screen the preview appears in: Bottom Right (default), Bottom Left, Top Right, or Top Left. Find it in Settings > Quick Preview.
• Auto-hide toggle for previews — choose whether previews disappear automatically after a few seconds, or stay on screen until you swipe or close them. Find it in Settings > Quick Preview.

What's New

• Smoother captures and recordings
  Starting a screenshot or recording should feel quicker and more responsive, especially when you jump straight into saving, editing, or recording.

• Faster preview popups
  Your preview window now appears more smoothly when you finish a capture, while the app stays lighter in the background when you are not using it.

• More reliable setup and license screens
  Opening onboarding or Settings repeatedly should feel more stable, with fewer chances of buttons or status updates acting strangely behind the scenes.

• Better wallpaper browsing
  Browsing large custom wallpaper collections should feel lighter and less memory-hungry, while keeping the currently selected wallpaper quick to view and use.

What's New

• Camera overlay on Mac
  Using your webcam in recordings should work more reliably. If a permission window doesn’t appear when you ask for camera access, the app can take you to the right place in Settings, with short tips on the permissions screen. If ScreenSnap Pro isn’t listed there yet, installing the latest version of the app again often sorts it out.

What's New in ScreenSnap Pro

• Choose your default screenshot format
  You can now pick whether screenshots and editor exports save as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or AVIF.

• More flexibility for sharing
  Stick with PNG for maximum quality, or choose smaller formats when you want files that are easier to send and upload.

• Clearer format choices in Settings
  The screenshot format setting now includes simple guidance so it is easier to choose the option that fits your workflow.

• Better support for modern image formats
  ScreenSnap now works more smoothly with newer formats like AVIF when opening, exporting, and managing images.

• Save As still gives you control
  Even with a default format selected, you can still choose a different format anytime you use Save As.

What's New

• Smarter performance behind the scenes — Reduced unnecessary background work so ScreenSnap makes better use of your Mac's CPU, GPU, and memory (RAM), helping the app feel lighter while keeping captures fast when you need them.
• Improved resource handling — Cleaned up temporary capture elements more efficiently and trimmed extra startup activity, which helps reduce overhead and supports a more stable experience over longer sessions.

What's New

• Overall polish — Refined the app's UI and UX and improved overall stability for a smoother, more reliable experience.

What's New

• Custom file naming — Added a new File Name Pattern setting. Use tokens like {{datetime}} and {{UUID}} to customize saved screenshot names.
• Smarter saves — Your naming pattern now applies to screenshots, edited image exports, and recordings, with automatic duplicate handling.
• Faster tool access — The active grouped tool icon now opens the same tool dropdown as the chevron.
• Cleaner control panel — Removed hover motion and extra chevron chrome for a calmer, more polished tool panel.
• Steadier text controls — The text style dropdown now keeps a fixed width and no longer resizes the control panel.
• Settings tab fix — The control panel now stays hidden on Settings, Shortcuts, and Cloud even after screenshot refreshes.
