Capture Presets for Common Workflows

Stop reconfiguring your capture settings every time. The new Presets feature gives you instant access to optimized configurations for common workflows—plus the ability to save your own custom setups.

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.

Creating Your Own Custom Presets

Found the perfect combination of settings for your workflow? Save it as a preset with one click.

How to create a custom preset:

1. Configure your ideal capture settings (interval, countdown, keyboard shortcuts, etc.)
2. Click "Save Current Setup"
3. Give your preset a descriptive name
4. Access it instantly from your preset badges

Your custom presets are automatically saved and persist across sessions—configure once, use forever.
