Feature spotlight: screenshots

🎵 These are a few of our favorite things (about screenshots, that is!)

1. Did you know that when you take a screenshot with ScreenPal, the image is automatically copied to your clipboard? No saving to your desktop so you can find your image (we can’t be the only ones who do this…) just paste into your email, slide presentation, or videoproject!
2. Scrolling. Screenshots. Need we say more? You can press Tab once you open the screenshot capture tool to take a scrolling screenshot. No additional extension required!
3. Easily edit and annotate screenshots with our free image editor. Add arrows, highlight, and rich text; customize with freehand drawing; quickly add numbered steps. You can even overlay images on screenshots with our newest version of ScreenPal!
