Beautify screenshots for X, with motion

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.

Animated exports that stop the scroll

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.

Privacy scan with 100% local OCR

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.

Aurora mesh backgrounds

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.

Window frames & hand-drawn annotations

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the screenshot editor free?

Yes. Editing, backgrounds, frames, annotations and PNG export are free. A Pro plan removes the watermark and unlocks premium export options.

Can I export an animated GIF for X (Twitter)?

Yes. Animated backgrounds, stickers and annotations export to a looping GIF that is automatically compressed under the 15MB X upload limit.

Does my screenshot get uploaded to a server?

No. Editing and the privacy scan (OCR) run entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your machine.

How do I hide emails or API keys in a screenshot?

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.

What makes this different from other screenshot beautifiers?

Motion and privacy. Animated GIF exports (backgrounds, stickers, self-drawing annotations) plus a fully local privacy scan that competitors do not have.
