1. Download the Jumpshare app for Mac or Windows and log in to your account.

3. When you start a screenshot capture with Jumpshare, an overlay will appear with flexible screen selection options. Here's how you can choose what to capture:
   • Click and Drag: Select a custom area of the screen by clicking and dragging your mouse.
   • Click Once: Capture the entire screen with a single click (no dragging).
   • Press Spacebar  : Switch to window selection mode after starting the capture, then click on a window to capture it.
   • Press S  Key: Capture a scrolling screenshot to include content beyond the visible area—perfect for long pages or documents.

4. As soon as you take a screenshot, the annotation window will automatically pop up.
5. Edit your screenshot. Here's a quick guide to all the tools you can use from the toolbar.
6. Once you're done editing, click Upload to share your image or save it locally.

Screenshot Actions

Once you've captured your pixel-perfect screenshot Jumpshare provides you with a range of options to save, share, or manage your image efficiently.

• Hand Icon: Drag the image or double-click the hand icon to copy the image to your clipboard.
• Copy: This action copies the image to your clipboard for easy pasting elsewhere.
• Save: This saves the screenshot to your desktop, copies it to your clipboard, and closes the Annotation Window.
• Upload: This uploads your annotated image to Jumpshare and provides you with a sharable link or a direct link. You can also choose to share the link via email.

How to automatically upload screenshots captured on your Mac to Jumpshare

Jumpshare integrates with your Mac system's default screenshot feature to automatically upload them to your Personal Library.

1. Launch the Jumpshare desktop app and open Preferences.
2. Head to the General tab.
3. Check the box under Screenshots: Auto Upload from and select from where your screenshots would be automatically uploaded from your system.
4. You can uncheck the box to disable the Auto-Upload feature.

Can I take screenshots in JPEG format?

Jumpshare supports both PNG and JPEG formats for screenshots. To change your default format, navigate to the General tab in your App Preferences and select your desired format.

Can I upload screenshots to a specific folder?

Yes, you can automatically organize your screenshots and other media by enabling the Desktop Upload feature. Head to the More tab under your App Preferences and enable Enable Desktop Upload.

This will send all your screenshots, screen recordings, and voice notes to a dedicated folder—Jumpshare Desktop Uploads—within your Personal Library.
