About SimplShot

SimplShot is a free all-in-one tool for capturing, annotating, and refining screenshots, images, and PDFs. Add annotations, apply quick edits, use templates, and export polished visuals in seconds.

Built for everyone who captures, annotates, and shares.

SimplShot fits into your workflow whether you're annotating a PDF, editing an image, filing a bug, or shipping polished screenshots for docs and tutorials.

Capture your macOS app at every required size in one click. Annotate spec PDFs or edit screenshots without switching tools. No manual resizing, no back-and-forth.

Annotate screenshots and PDFs with arrows and numbered callouts. Blur sensitive data before sharing. Resolve tickets faster — no matter what file you're working from.

Turn any screenshot or image into a polished launch asset. Edit directly, frame it, and batch-export at every size — website hero, Product Hunt, social post — in one shot.

Make every tutorial screenshot or annotated PDF look professional with custom backgrounds and consistent framing. No design skills needed.

    Can batch capture automatically create screenshots at multiple preset sizes in one click?

    1. Maker

      Yes! Just select the app you want screenshots of in the menu list, add all the sizes you need, a ratio and click "Capture [Name of App]". If you have enabled templates, that template will be applied automatically to all sizes as well.

    Can the OCR text in screenshots and PDFs be searched or copied after processing?

    1. Maker

      This is OCR capture, meaning you can copy text from any source on the screen and then paste anywhere else. I guess you are referring to search and find in a "photo of text"? That is not yet included, but a good idea. I will implement that. You can obviously search in PDF's already, as long as it's text and not an image of text. Hope that helps.
