Looking good! What does it mean that it is free forever? That the code is available on GitHub and we should not have to be concerned about the site going offline or moving to a different place (that is not free)? Or, if it takes off, that we should begin to see ads? Or that this is the free tier option and future iterations can expect you to pay to, say, remove a watermark?
I can maybe see some value for opening a web page like this, then taking a set of screenshots (for me CMD+SHIFT+4) which automatically get added to the web page, which the user can then curate in some way to generate a final image for download. If the dev who built this web page can work out a way to get the web page to automatically ingest user screenshots while the page is open then I think this tool becomes a lot more interesting.
As a dev who loves sharing stuff on X, this is super useful.
You can use it to post clean screenshots for:
- showing off a new UI component you built
- sharing code snippets or errors with context
- bug reports that don’t look like chaos
I'm equally confused. Why would I want to take a perfectly good screenshot and then shrink it down so it fits within a square and fill >50% of the canvas pixels with a gradient background?
I think this is some (new?) social media trend, my school started doing it too with their images on facebook. Half the image is just a border so the actual image is really low res. I have no idea why they do it though.
Some social media sites and apps like to cut off the sides to fit content onto different screen sizes and aspect ratios.
I think adding a border is an attempt to preserve the essential parts of the images in those situations. It really should not be necessary, but alas modern/stupid problems require modern/stupid solutions.
The border can look nice in certain settings, the annotation tools are handy for drawing attention to specific elements. It has the ability to hide/mask things too. All wrapped in a nice intuitive interface.
hello compliments for moocup, your screenshot generator is convenient, fast and really easy to use for example for X o bsky. Some tips, currently there are only a few colors for the borders, I would also like to have the possibility of a movement or transaction and export to gif. what do you think would be possible? thanks
How is this a screenshot generator? You have to drag an existing image onto it...
The title is a bit misleading, he actually generated a screenshot beautifier.

What is this for? I don't see the use case.

I did a similar thing for generating a video from multiple screen captures - GitHub repo here: https://github.com/KaliedaRik/sc-screen-recorder

But it's not a clean screenshot. There's a space-wasting gradient fill behind it.

so it's for drawing attention on social media?
Because it looks nice and makes it pop in a social media feed.
I liked its output. Maybe there is a use for it?
Looks great, congrats on the launch.
Could you tell us more about how you made it? What libraries did you use, or did you code it with an AI?
It's nice. I actually pay for something like this.
The only thing I think I would need to switch is canvas size, ideally where I can select sizes for Twitter, Instagram etc.
Being able to paste an image would be nice too.
Nice work!
What value does it provide? (Genuine question, not intended as snarky!)
I use a similar tool, Gradia.

This is a frame generator. It accepts images, assumed to be screenshots, as an input.
