One extension, the whole workflow

Everything you do with screenshots, done better

Stop juggling a snipping tool, an image editor, a screen recorder and a mockup app. Hover and click the tiles — every one is a live demo.

01 · Capture FREE

Full-page capture that just works

Z-Shot scrolls the page and stitches it into one image — long articles, dashboards, whole landing pages.

  • Full page, visible area or any region
  • Delay timer for menus and hover states
  • Right-click or Alt+Shift+F
02 · Select FREE

Pixel-precise regions, or one element

Drag a box and see the size as you go — or hover a card, menu or button and capture exactly that element.

  • Live width × height while dragging
  • Element capture snaps to the page
  • Alt+Shift+A from anywhere
03 · Annotate FREE

Make the point in seconds

Arrows, numbered steps, highlights, callouts and blur — 15 tools with undo, layers and a ⌘K command palette.

  • Curved arrows, callouts & stickers
  • Auto-numbered step markers
  • Blur or solid-redact anything
04 · OCR FREE · 20/MO

Copy text out of any image

Error messages, invoices, slides, photos — recognised on your computer, never uploaded.

  • 17 languages, works offline
  • Accurate mode for photos & handwriting
  • Unsure words highlighted for review
05 · Privacy FREE · 10/MO

Auto-redaction before you share

Z-Shot finds emails, phone numbers, card numbers, API keys and tokens — you check each one, then hide them.

  • Luhn-checked card numbers
  • GitHub, Stripe, AWS keys, JWTs, bearer tokens
  • Runs 100% on your device
06 · Guides FREE · 5/MO

Step-by-step guides that write themselves

Press record and use the website. Every click, field and menu choice becomes a step with a screenshot.

  • Element outlined on every step
  • Typed text is never stored
  • Export Markdown or HTML / PDF
07 · Bug reports FREE · 10/MO

Bug reports developers can act on

Screenshot, page details and — if you want — console errors and failed requests, in a filled-in issue.

  • GitHub, GitLab or Linear in one click
  • URL, browser, OS, viewport added
  • Secrets stripped from logs
08 · Share FREE · 10/MO

Your brand, your storage, one link

Add your logo, export at 2× or 3×, then upload straight from your browser to your own bucket or a webhook.

  • Your S3 / R2 bucket, Imgur, Slack, Discord
  • Logo or text watermark on every export
  • No Z-Shot server in between

Mark up a screenshot right here

This is a small part of the Z-Shot editor running in your browser. Draw an arrow, number the steps, blur the private bits, drop it in a frame and download it. Nothing is uploaded.

Drop your image
Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

The full editor adds curved arrows, callouts, stickers, spotlight, crop, OCR, layers, 2×/3× export and more.

Explain anything in one screenshot — or one click-through

Record a step-by-step guide by simply using the website, or send a short narrated video instead of a long email.

  • Every click becomes a step with a screenshot and the element outlined
  • Export guides as Markdown or a printable HTML/PDF manual
  • Screen recording with voice and a webcam bubble
  • Auto-detect emails, phone numbers, cards and API keys before sharing

  • Share links via your own S3/R2 bucket, Imgur or a webhook
  • One affordable plan instead of four subscriptions

Your screenshots never leave your computer — unless you send them.

1

Stored in your browser

Screenshots, recordings and edits are kept in your browser's own storage. There is no Z-Shot cloud that holds your images.

2

Processed on your device

Text recognition and auto-redaction run locally. Images are never sent to an AI service.

3

You choose what to share

An image only leaves your computer when you copy, download or upload it to a destination you picked — Imgur, your own S3/R2 bucket, a webhook or your team.

Worth every cent

Pro pays for itself in the first week

Move the sliders to your own numbers. Most people get their money back from the time saved on a handful of screenshots and one demo video.
