Demo
Built-In Presets Ready to Use
We've included three example presets for the most common screenshot scenarios:
Kindle – Capture 20 pages quickly with automatic page turns (500ms intervals, right arrow key)
Quick Demo – Fast 5-shot sessions perfect for showing off a feature (1 second intervals)
Slow Tutorial – Detailed 10-shot captures with extra prep time (3 second intervals, 5 second countdown)
Each preset is optimized for its specific use case, so you can start capturing immediately without adjusting any settings.
