Screenshots
A screenshot behaves exactly like a recording: capture it, get an instant link, and share it. Screenshots are perfect when a still image says it faster than a video — a bug, a design, a quick "see this?"
Capture a screenshot
- Trigger a screenshot from the CaptureFlow toolbar.
- Select a region (or window/screen) the same way you do for a recording.
- CaptureFlow uploads the image and copies a share link to your clipboard.
The screenshot viewer
Screenshots open on their own share page with:
- A zoomable image viewer.
- The same visibility model as recordings — public, private, or workspace-only (see Sharing).
- A download action and copy-link button.
- Attribution showing who posted it and when.
Edit a screenshot
Open the screenshot editor to annotate or adjust before (or after) sharing, then update the title or visibility. Like recordings, screenshots live in your dashboard under Screenshots and count toward your storage quota.
Screenshot vs. recording — which to use?
| Use a screenshot when… | Use a recording when… |
|---|---|
| One frame tells the story | You need to show a flow or motion |
| You want to annotate a still | Narration or a walkthrough helps |
| Filing a quick visual bug | Demoing a feature or reproducing steps |
