Shotmesh is free while in beta. Your reply lands straight in my inbox, and I read every single one.
No sign up. No email. Takes 10 seconds.
Paste a screenshot, drop it on an aurora background, annotate with hand-drawn arrows, hide anything sensitive, and export a scroll-stopping GIF, all in your browser.
Turn a static screenshot into a looping GIF: animated mesh backgrounds, stickers, and hand-drawn annotations that draw themselves on. Exports are deterministic and always under the 15MB X upload limit.
One click finds emails, API keys (Stripe, GitHub, AWS, JWT), card numbers, amounts, phone numbers and @handles in your screenshot, then hides them with real blur, pixelation or black bars. OCR runs in your browser; the image never leaves your machine.
44 curated gradients: dark aurora meshes, pastel glows, multi-stop linears, each fully customizable layer by layer: base color, glow blobs, angle. Or match any brand color in seconds.
macOS, browser and terminal chrome in light or dark. Sketchy arrows, underlines, highlight markers and shapes powered by rough.js, so every stroke looks hand-drawn and can animate in your export.

Yes. Animated backgrounds, stickers and annotations export to a looping GIF that is automatically compressed under the 15MB X upload limit.
No. Editing and the privacy scan (OCR) run entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your machine.
Click Privacy scan. Local OCR finds emails, API keys, card numbers, amounts, phone numbers and @handles, grouped by type. Tick a group to blur, pixelate or black-bar every match at once.
Motion and privacy. Animated GIF exports (backgrounds, stickers, self-drawing annotations) plus a fully local privacy scan that competitors do not have.
