What you can do after a screenshot.

Float & pin

Five minutes. No hurry.

Keep up to fourteen previews open, including pinned ones. Unpinned previews close after five idle minutes; saved original files remain. Hovering, editing, or dragging pauses the timer. Pin a preview to keep it open.

Crop & markup

Mark what matters, then share.

Crop, add arrows and text—all in one toolbar. Save, copy, or drag into another app.

Pixelate

Cover what shouldn’t show.

Fine, medium, or coarse brushes. Then save or share.

Drag out

Drag it where you need it.

Drag a screenshot straight from its bubble into Notes, Mail, and other image-friendly apps. No digging through folders.

Compress

Smaller files. Faster sends.

Resize or compress PNG/JPEG files by width or target file size, individually or in batches. Preview before export.

Copy text

Copy text from the image.

On-device recognition on Mac. Edit the result, then paste into notes or chats.

Use your usual shortcuts.

Keep your Mac’s built-in shortcuts. Once a screenshot is saved, its preview appears in SnipPop.

Processed on your Mac.

Edit, compress, and extract text on your Mac. No image upload needed.

Your original stays put.

Closing a bubble, or letting it close automatically, never deletes the saved screenshot.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

About this little bubble.

What is SnipPop?

SnipPop is a screenshot companion for Mac. After a system screenshot is saved, its preview stays at the edge of your desktop. You can pin, crop, annotate, pixelate, compress, extract text, or drag it into another app.

How long do previews stay, and how many can I keep?

Unpinned previews dismiss after five idle minutes, with up to fourteen at once. Hovering, editing, or dragging pauses the timer. Pinned previews do not auto-dismiss. Dismissing a bubble does not delete the original file.

How do I download SnipPop?

Downloads are not available yet. After launch, you can download the macOS installer here and start a seven-day free trial.

Will it work on my Mac?

The current build requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 13 or later. The app supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It can follow your system language, or you can choose a language in Settings.

Will I be charged after the trial?

No. The planned full-feature trial lasts 7 days. You then choose whether to buy once for US$9.99. There is no subscription or automatic renewal. Website purchases are not open yet.

Are my screenshots uploaded?

Image editing, compression, and text recognition happen locally on your Mac. SnipPop does not provide screenshot cloud sync. Files you choose to share with other apps are handled by those apps.

Does it record my screen?

SnipPop receives videos saved by the macOS screen recorder, so you can play them, reveal the file, or drag them out. Recording is handled by macOS; SnipPop does not include video editing.

How many Macs can I activate?

One license covers 2 Macs you own. Deactivate an old device before activating a replacement. Use Manage license in the footer if you no longer have the old Mac.

Do I need to stay online?

No. Activation and deactivation require internet access. A saved valid license works offline. A network outage does not remove access; remote deactivation or refunds are applied when the Mac next successfully contacts the service.

What do I need to set up first?

Launch SnipPop and check the screenshot source and access prompts in Settings. Use the macOS screenshot shortcuts and save to a folder; clipboard-only captures are not received automatically. See the guide for the full steps.

How do I stop receiving screenshots?

Quit SnipPop from its menu to stop receiving captures. Hiding bubbles is not the same as quitting. To use the system preview, quit and check Show Floating Thumbnail in the ⇧⌘5 Options menu. Screenshots already saved on disk are unaffected.
