Full feature parity

The same core capture, annotation, recording, presentation, upload, recent-item, theme, and account workflow on both supported platforms.

From download to first link

Three steps, then it stays out of the way.

01

Install the desktop app

Download the current installer selected for your browser platform and complete the normal macOS or Windows installation.

02

Connect your account

Create a free account or sign in, then approve the single-use desktop connection handoff.

03

Capture and share

Take a screenshot or recording. When you use cloud sharing, the resulting link is copied after upload succeeds.

Operating-system permissions

You stay in control of what the app can capture.

Creator Shots requests system access only for features you choose. Your operating system may ask you to approve screen capture or recording, microphone, camera, or file access.

ScreenRequired when you capture screenshots or record a display, window, or region.
MicrophoneRequired only when you choose microphone narration.
CameraRequired only when you add a webcam layer to a recording.
FilesUsed for supported screenshot-folder watching, custom backgrounds, and local media workflows.

Free local workflow

Downloading does not start a trial clock.

Use Creator Shots locally without a paid subscription. Connect a free account when you want hosted links, viewer reactions, view state, and a searchable web library with 1 GB of cloud storage.

Always close by

Capture from the menu bar or system tray.

Open Creator Shots whenever you need it, see recent uploads, copy a link again, or start your next screenshot or recording without interrupting the rest of your work.
