How to share a screenshot as a link that expires

With Capture Pro ($10/month or $100/year), capture the page and click Get share link in the side panel, or choose Share as a link in the editor. Pick 1 day, 7 days or 30 days and press Create link. Anyone with the link can view and download the image until then. After that the link stops working and the image is deleted.

A link keeps tall screenshots out of email and chat attachments, and one that expires doesn't leave a copy of your screenshot online for good.

Step by step

Share a screenshot as a link that expires

  1. Open the side panel

    Add Capture from the Chrome Web Store, then click its icon in the toolbar to open the side panel.

  2. Capture the page

    Choose Full page, Scrolling area or Visible area and capture.

  3. Click Get share link

    When the side panel shows Your capture is ready, click Get share link. To blur or mark it up first, click Edit instead and share it from the editor.

  4. Pick how long it works

    Choose 1 day, 7 days or 30 days, then press Create link. Capture uploads the capture and gives you a capture.appzlr.com/s/ link.

  5. Copy and send it

    Click Copy and paste the link into a chat, email or ticket. Slack, Discord and other apps that show link previews show the image.

  • From the editor: click the arrow next to Save PNG, choose Share as a link, pick how long it works and press Create link. The link shows the image with your edits.
  • Press Delete link to stop it working sooner. The image is deleted from Capture's servers straight away.
  • Anyone who has the link can open it, so blur private details first.
FAQ

Questions and answers

Are share links free?

No. Share links are part of Capture Pro, $10/month or $100/year. The free plan downloads captures as PNG, which you can attach or send yourself.

What happens when the link expires?

The link stops working and shows a page saying it has expired, and the image is deleted from Capture's servers. You can delete it sooner with Delete link.

Who can see a shared screenshot?

Anyone who has the link. The link isn't listed anywhere and search engines don't index it. Capture stores the image, your account id, its size and when it expires, not the page's address or title.

Can I change the image after I share it?

The link keeps the version you shared. If you edit the image in the editor afterwards, the share dialog offers New link with your changes.
