Privacy

Your screenshots stay yours.

SnapShot-Pro runs in your browser. Editing happens on your device, and nothing is uploaded unless you reach for a cloud feature. Here is exactly what that means.

Stays on your device

Everything by default

  • Backgrounds, frames, mockups, tilt, annotations, redaction, and resizing
  • Background removal and OCR (the AI models download from a CDN, but your image is processed locally and never sent)
  • Saved templates and your API keys, kept in your browser's local storage
Leaves only when you choose

Cloud features

  • Cloud AI (alt text, captions, generative background, outpaint, magic eraser) sends the image and prompt to the AI provider
  • Sharing and cloud projects upload the image to create a link or sync across devices
  • Each of these is an explicit action, never automatic

Editing is local

When you drop in a screenshot, it is loaded straight into the page and drawn on a canvas on your machine. Styling, framing, mockups, annotations, cropping, and export all happen there. We never receive a copy. Background removal and text extraction (OCR) also run locally in your browser; the underlying AI models are downloaded once from a public CDN, but your image stays on your device.

Cloud AI is opt-in

The generative tools (replace background, extend canvas, magic eraser) and the text tools (alt text, captions, screenshot to code) work by sending your current image and your prompt to an AI provider, only when you click the button. Generative edits route through a small SnapShot-Pro server function to the image model, or go directly to the provider if you supply your own key. The text tools call OpenAI or Anthropic directly. Whatever you send is subject to that provider's own data policy.

Your API keys

If you bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, it is stored only in your browser's local storage and used to call that provider directly from your machine. Your keys are never sent to or stored on our servers.

Sharing and accounts

The core editor needs no account. When you use Share or save a cloud project, the image or project is uploaded to our storage so it can be linked or synced; that only happens when you take the action. Sign-in (optional) exists solely to sync your projects across devices.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics (Vercel Analytics) to understand traffic. There are no advertising trackers and no cross-site profiling. We do not sell data.

Open source

SnapShot-Pro is open source, so you can read exactly how any of this works. The code lives on GitHub. Questions or concerns? Open an issue there and we will respond.
