Presets

What a preset saves

A preset stores the styling from the editor sidebar so you can reuse it: Padding, Inset (its size and whether the color is auto-detected or custom), the corner radius, the shadow style (None, Spread or Hug) and its Opacity, the background effect (None, Blur or Noise) and its Intensity, the aspect ratio, and the background (Wallpaper, Gradient, Plain or Transparent, with the wallpaper, gradient or color you picked). Annotations are not part of a preset.

Save a preset

Save the look of the current screenshot so you can apply it to other screenshots in one click.

1. 1Style a screenshot the way you like in the editor sidebar. See Style a Screenshot.
2. 2Click Presets in the top bar. It shows the name of the current preset above the word Presets.
3. 3Type a name into the Preset name... field (up to 20 characters). Give each preset its own name.
4. 4Click Save as preset or press Enter. The new preset becomes the active one.

Apply a preset

Click Presets in the top bar and click a preset's name. The sidebar switches to its settings immediately. ScreenSnap Pro remembers the last preset you applied and uses it again when the editor opens.

Update, rename or delete a preset

Each preset you created has three buttons in the Presets menu:

1. 1Rename (pencil icon): edit the name in place, then press Enter to save or Esc to cancel.
2. 2Update (circular arrows icon): replaces the preset's saved settings with the editor's current settings. You are asked to confirm, because this cannot be undone.
3. 3Delete (trash icon): removes the preset right away, without asking. If it was the active preset, the editor switches back to Default.

The Default preset

Default is built in and always listed first. It cannot be renamed, updated or deleted, so you can always return to the standard look. Your own presets are stored on this computer.

Video presets are separate

The video editor has its own Presets menu for background, camera and cursor styles of recordings. Image presets and video presets do not mix.
