After Capture

Choose what happens after every screenshot and recording. Save, copy, open the editor, or show the Quick Access panel.

Per-Mode Action Matrix

Snapzy lets you set different post-capture actions for each capture mode. Open Snapzy → Preferences → After Capture to configure:

  • Save — write the file to your chosen export folder.
  • Quick Access — show the floating panel for quick actions.
  • Clipboard — copy the file or image to the clipboard.
  • Annotate — auto-open the capture in the annotation editor.

Each mode (fullscreen, area, scrolling, recording, GIF) can have its own combination of these actions.

Quick Access Panel

The Quick Access panel is a floating card that appears after every capture. It gives you instant actions without opening the full app window:

  • Copy — copy the capture to your clipboard.
  • Edit — open in the annotation editor or video editor.
  • Drag-to-app — drag the capture directly into another app.
  • Open — reveal the file in Finder or open with the default app.
  • Delete — remove the temp file if you do not need it.
  • Cloud Upload — manually upload to your configured S3 or R2 bucket.
  • Pin — pin the screenshot as a floating window. Pinned windows can be zoomed using scroll or pinch gestures.

Tip — Quick Access countdowns pause while a card is converting to GIF or uploading to cloud, then resume after the work finishes.

Remove Background Auto-Crop

When you use the object cutout capture, Snapzy can automatically crop the transparent canvas to the subject bounds. This is controlled by a global toggle in Preferences.

  • Enabled by default for cleaner exports.
  • Disable it if you want to keep the full canvas with surrounding transparency.
  • The crop tool in the annotation editor also supports crop-aware auto-crop for remove-background results.

Screenshot Preset Auto-Application

When capturing, Snapzy can automatically apply predefined screenshot presets (including custom background gradients, paddings, shadows, and borders) to your captures. This provides a lightweight canvas rendering flow, making your screenshots look instantly professional and ready for sharing. You can configure and toggle these auto-applied presets under Preferences → After Capture → Presets.
