An Awesome Screenshot Alternative That Doesn’t Upload Your Screenshots
If you’d rather keep captures on your own computer, here’s what to look for.
ClickSnap is a free alternative to Awesome Screenshot for people who prefer screenshots to stay on their own computer. It offers full-page capture without repeated headers, annotation, blur and pixelate, device frames and WebM screen recording, with no account and no uploads. Awesome Screenshot focuses more on cloud sharing and team video.
When to choose which
Awesome Screenshot is built around sharing: upload a capture or video and send a link, with team workspaces. If shareable links are your workflow, it’s a good fit. Check its current plans for what’s included for free.
ClickSnap is built around keeping things local: capture, annotate and copy or export, with nothing leaving your computer. That suits client work, internal tools and anything with private data.
