How to use Snapee

That’s it. The capture goes straight into Boom’s own storage — no outside service ever holds it — and the link you paste shows the image right in Slack, ClickUp, Gmail or a text.

Ctrl + Shift + C is Snapee’s choice (it was Gyazo’s); the Print Screen ones are ShareX’s defaults. Change any of them in ShareX → Hotkey settings: pick the row, click its key box, press the new keys. While ShareX runs, Ctrl + Shift + C belongs to it everywhere — in a browser it no longer opens DevTools’ element picker. If Print Screen opens the Snipping Tool instead, see Troubleshooting.

• MP4 for walkthroughs and bug reports — sharp, small, and it can carry your voice.
• GIF for a few seconds of motion that should loop silently in a chat thread.
• No length limit. Recordings upload straight to storage, not through the website, so a ten-minute demo works the same as a screenshot.
• The first recording asks to download FFmpeg. Say yes — it’s what ShareX records with.
• To include your voice, pick a microphone under Task settings → Screen recorder → Screen recording options → Audio source.

Turn on After capture tasks → Open in image editor and every capture opens for a quick edit before it uploads. Close the editor and it carries on as normal.

• Arrows, boxes and text to point at the thing that matters.
• Step numbers — click, click, click — for how-to screenshots.
• Blur or pixelate anything private: client data, emails, passwords, card numbers.
• Highlight and magnify to pull the eye to one small detail.

• Every link is the file itself on Boom’s CDN, so chat apps and email show it inline — no click-through page.
• Links don’t expire. They stop working only when you delete the capture.
• Captures are filed by month, so a link tells you roughly when it was taken.
• To send one to your phone, turn on After upload tasks → Show QR code and scan it.

Everything you’ve captured lives in your dashboard, newest first, grouped by day. Sign in with your Boom account — the same one as every other Boom app.

• Press / to search by file name, and filter to images, clips or files.
• Copy link to share an old capture again; Delete removes it from storage for good.
• In Chrome or Edge, use Install app from the address bar to pin the Library to your taskbar like any other program.

1. Install ShareX (free, open source).
2. Only if you use the Print Screen hotkeys: on Windows 11, free up the key — see Troubleshooting.
3. Sign in and open New machine. It lists every ShareX setting with a copy button next to each one.
4. Take a test capture. It should appear at the top of the Library.
