Frequently Asked Questions

Open the BetterScreenshot editor, paste or upload your raw screenshot, then pick a background, adjust smart padding, apply a shadow preset, and optionally add a device frame or filter. Preview changes live in the browser and export when it looks right — the whole process takes under a minute.

The BetterScreenshot editor includes curated backgrounds (solid colors, textures, dithered styles, and custom uploads), proportional smart padding, shadow presets (drop shadows, inset glows, soft lift), visual filters for color grading and cinematic tones, and optional window chrome such as macOS, iOS, Windows, browser bar, or minimal frame.

BetterScreenshot exports screenshots as PNG, JPG, or WebP at 1×, 2×, or 4× resolution for retina-sharp social media images. You can download the file directly or copy the finished screenshot to your clipboard in one click. Pro subscribers unlock 4× retina export.
