ScreenSend FAQ
How does it work?
ScreenSend runs in the background on your Mac, and adds a little menu with
a camera icon to the right side of your menubar. To take a screenshot, choose
“Screenshot” from the menu. You'll be given a box to drag over
the area you want to screenshot. From there, you can send it to the web, to a
file, to a printer, or any combination of the three. Sending it to the web
will send it to your own personal ScreenSend URL on a dedicated server available
to the entire Internet.
How do I uninstall ScreenSend?
Very easily. We have no love for apps that install themselves all over your
system and make removal difficult, so we didn't build ScreenSend that way!
Just open ScreenSend, go to Preferences, turn off “Launch ScreenSend at
Login”, and quit the app.
How much does it cost?
To use as a regular screenshot tool, it costs nothing. To publish your
screenshots to the web, it costs $3/month or $29/year. There is a one week
free trial available.
What is the “timer” option for?
The timer creates a 5 or 10 second wait between the time you click OK and the
time the screenshot is actually taken. This is useful for when you want to
show something in action, i.e. a menu being pulled down. Just select the area
where the action's going to happen, click OK, and then you have 5 or 10 seconds
(depending on how long you set the timer) to get your screen ready for the
screenshot. You can watch the progress of the timer in the menubar.
Where are the web screenshots hosted?
They are hosted on a dedicated server at a datacenter. They are not hosted
on your machine, so you don't have to worry about firewalls, ports etc on your
network. As a general rule, if you can access websites from your computer you
can post screenshots.
How do I access my account?
There are a number of ways. You can select “My Account” from the
ScreenSend menu. You can click “My Account” on this webpage and
enter your login info. Or you can just go to your ScreenSend site, which is
http://(your login name).screensend.com/ .
When I save to a file, where do my screenshots go?
They go into the ScreenSend folder on your desktop. They're PNG format, and
named with sequential numbers.
