Paste or drag a screenshot

On Capture you can paste a screenshot (Cmd+V or Ctrl+V), drag a file onto the box, or click the box and choose a file. If paste does nothing, work down this list.

Paste isn't working?

1. Mac saved a file instead. Cmd+Shift+4 saves to the desktop. Use Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 to copy the area to the clipboard, then paste.
2. Windows hotkey stopped. If Print Screen or Win+Shift+S does nothing, turn on Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Use the Print Screen button to open screen snipping.
3. Chart app in exclusive full screen. Some trading apps block the snipping tool in full screen. Use Win+G to take the screenshot, or switch the app to a borderless window.
4. Paste adds the wrong picture, or the same one twice. Press Win+V to open the clipboard history and pick the right screenshot.
5. Linux with KDE. Copy any other item, then copy the screenshot again, and paste.
6. Work computer or remote desktop. These often block the clipboard. Save the screenshot as a file instead.

Dragging a file always works

Save the screenshot as a PNG, JPG or WebP file and drag it onto the Capture box, or click the box and choose it.
