CleanShot for Mac

Product summary

CleanShot X is a feature-rich screen capture app built specifically for macOS. It replaces the system screenshot tools with a single, integrated utility that streamlines taking images, recording video, and preparing content for sharing or presentation.

Capture modes and options

• Capture long webpages and other scrolling content without stitching images manually.
• Take full-screen snapshots instantly for quick reference.
• Select and capture a custom region when you only need part of the display.

Editing, annotation and recording

• Record your screen as MP4 or export short animations as GIFs.
• Add annotations directly from the quick-access overlay: text, arrows, shapes and highlights.
• Make fast edits before saving or sharing so files are presentation-ready.

Sharing and workflow enhancements

• Upload captures to the cloud immediately and get shareable links without extra steps.
• Use OCR/text recognition to extract typed content from screenshots for copy-and-paste.
• Hide or manage desktop icons to create cleaner screenshots and reduce visual clutter.

Who benefits most

• Designers, developers and documentation writers who need polished visuals and quick edits.
• Anyone who frequently shares screen content and wants a faster, more capable alternative to macOS’s built-in tools.

Bottom line

CleanShot X combines advanced capture modes, in-app editing, recording, and convenient sharing features into one macOS-native application, making it a solid choice for users who require professional-level screen capture functionality.
