Why Screenshots Need Framing
A raw screenshot sits awkwardly in a blog post or timeline because its edges collide with the surrounding page — white UI on a white background simply dissolves. Padding and a contrasting background give the image a boundary, which is what makes it read as an intentional figure rather than a stray crop.
The soft shadow does similar work in a subtler way: it lifts the screenshot off the background so the eye registers it as a distinct object. Rounded corners echo the shape of modern app windows, and the optional title bar makes that reading explicit.
Exports are rendered at twice the preview resolution, so images stay sharp on high-density screens and when a platform scales them down. If you are posting to a specific network, choosing its aspect ratio up front prevents an automatic crop from cutting off the part you cared about.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this useful for?
Raw screenshots look flat in blog posts, changelogs, app store listings, and social media. Adding padding, a background, rounded corners, and a soft shadow makes the image read as a deliberate visual rather than a crop.
What does the window frame option do?
It draws a title bar above your screenshot — either the familiar three-dot macOS style or a plain dark bar. This visually signals "this is an application window" without you needing to capture the real chrome.
Why choose a fixed aspect ratio?
Social platforms crop images to their own ratios. Exporting at 16:9 or 1:1 means you control where the edges fall instead of letting the platform decide.
What resolution is the download?
The export is rendered at twice the preview size so it stays sharp on high-density displays and when scaled down in a blog post.
Is my screenshot uploaded?
No. The image is drawn onto an HTML canvas in your browser and the download is produced locally. Nothing is sent to a server.
