Pricing questions
What do I get for free?
The web app is free with 5 gradient presets, basic beautification (radius, shadow, border, padding), 1x export, and 3 exports per day. It includes a small 'ScreenshotEdits' branding on exports. The Mac app is also free with all features—the only difference is a small watermark on exported images.
Why is the web app a subscription?
Running a fast, reliable web app costs money—servers, bandwidth, storage, and continuous development. €3/month keeps the lights on without ads or selling your data. The free tier lets you try everything first.
Is the Mac Pro license a subscription?
No. The €19 Mac Pro license is a one-time payment. You get lifetime access and all future updates. No monthly fees, no annual renewal.
What's the watermark/branding?
On the free web app, a small 'ScreenshotEdits' text appears in the corner of exports. On the free Mac app, a 'Made with ScreenshotEdits' watermark appears on exports. Both are removed with their respective Pro upgrades.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you're not happy with either the Web Pro subscription or the Mac Pro license, email within 30 days and you'll get a full refund. No questions asked.
Does my data go to the cloud?
The Mac app runs entirely on your Mac—nothing is uploaded. The web app processes everything in your browser; your screenshots are never sent to a server.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Open the web app or download the Mac app and start editing immediately. No signup, no login. Web Pro is activated through a simple account. The Mac Pro license is activated with a license key.
What's the difference between the web app and the Mac app?
Both have beautification tools, backgrounds, and export options. The Mac app adds built-in screen capture (regions and windows), text extraction (OCR), system hotkeys, multi-tab editing, and runs natively for maximum speed and full offline privacy. The web app works on any OS, right in your browser.
Which plan should I pick?
If you mainly want to beautify screenshots quickly and work on multiple devices, Web Pro (€3/mo or €29/yr) is the most flexible option. If you're on a Mac and want screen capture, OCR, and offline editing, Mac Pro (€19 once) is the best value.
