Capture and share screenshots and recordings.

Linkshot captures screenshots and screen recordings and allows you to quickly share them over the web, using your own web server, Dropbox, Imgur, Twitter, Facebook, and more. You can also use the Linkshot Cloud Sharing service to share images and recordings via the Linkshot website without needing your own server, and without any ugly or distracting ads.

Linkshot global window
Always there

Linkshot's global menu gives you access to:

  • Capture screenshots
  • Capture screen recordings
  • Open from the Clipboard
  • Control auto-sharing after capture
  • Toggle countdown before capturing
  • Recently captured images and recording

That's a lot of functionality just one click away. You can even drag and drop images straight onto the icon in the menubar to share them.

 

Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard power user? Linkshot has customizable keyboard shortcuts for capturing a screenshot and capturing a screen recording.

Capture Window

In the capture window, markup, copy to the clipboard, drag to another location, or share to a destination.

Unlike the built-in screenshot feature in macOS, never have to deal with files cluttering up your Desktop, or having to hunt and find the right file. In Linkshot, it's immediately there, and never in your way.

You can even drag the capture and drop it anywhere, avoiding the need to hunt for the screenshot file in Finder.

Linkshot markup images
Markup and Annotate Images

Need to highlight, add arrows, labels, or callout to something important? No problem. With Linkshot you can markup images before sending them on their way.

  • Arrows and Lines
  • Circles, Rectangles, Stars…

  • Darkening Highlights
  • Text Labels
  • Pen Drawing
Linkshot share menu
Destinations

Share the capture to any of your designated destinations (FTP, Imgur, Dropbox...), or use any of the system-wide share services, such as Twitter and Facebook.

In Preferences, you can setup automatic sharing to a chosen destination.
