ScreenFloat v2.2.6 – your Mac’s Screen Capture All-Rounder – is now available.
You can now extract still images from movies playing in QuickTime Player; the update also brings a couple of fine improvements and bug fixes.
What is ScreenFloat?
ScreenFloat is your Screen Capture All-Rounder.
Capture screenshots and recordings that float above other windows, allowing you to reference anything on your screen, anywhere. It’s like Picture-in-Picture, only for screen captures.
It keeps your Desktop clutter-free, as every capture you make is stored in its Shots Browser, where you can manage, organize and find your shots. They’re also synced across your Macs.
Easily copy the non-copyable, as ScreenFloat recognizes text, barcode and faces in your shots, which also allows you to effortlessly redact sensitive parts of your screenshots.
Add non-destructive annotations, redactions and markup, crop, “fold“, resize, or de-retinize your shots, or trim, cut or mute your recordings. Quickly pick colors.
Create shareable and embeddable links for your captures using iCloud, ImageKit.io or Cloudinary.com.
And so much more.
A screenshot is just a screenshot. Until you use ScreenFloat.
