PostSnap
Beautiful screenshots, one click.
The problem
A raw screenshot looks unfinished when it goes into a blog post, a changelog or a social card. Making one presentable normally means a separate design tool, or a web service that wants an account and a copy of the image.
The approach
PostSnap does capture and beautification in a single step, entirely in the browser. The editor opens automatically with the screenshot already loaded, and every adjustment — background, frame, shadow, aspect ratio, overlay text — is applied client-side. No image ever leaves the machine.
What it does
- Four capture modes
- Viewport, element picker with scroll-wheel selection widening, drag-to-select region with live dimensions, and full-page scroll capture with automatic stitching.
- Background and framing
- Sixteen gradient presets plus custom two-colour gradients with direction control, solid and transparent options, adjustable padding to 200px, and border radius to 40px.
- Window frames and shadows
- Six frames covering macOS dark and light, browser dark and light, and a phone mockup. Six shadow presets plus full manual control over blur, spread, opacity and colour.
- Aspect ratios that do not distort
- Five presets — free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3 and 9:16 — applied by letterboxing rather than stretching the capture.
- Retina-ready export
- PNG, JPEG and WebP output with a quality slider for lossy formats, and 1x, 2x or 3x resolution scaling. One-click copy to clipboard or download.
