Pin
The Pin feature turns a screenshot into a floating window that stays on top of other applications. This is useful for:
- Referencing a screenshot while working in another app
- Comparing multiple screenshots side by side
- Keeping annotated screenshots visible during presentations
Pinning a Screenshot
- Capture a region.
- Click the Pin button in the action toolbar.
- The screenshot opens in a new floating window.
Controls
Pinned screenshots show controls when you hover over them (or when focused). Controls are located on the right side of the pinned window:
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| ✏️ Edit | Enter annotation mode to add or modify annotations |
| 🖼️ Adjustments | Open image adjustment panel |
| 🔍 Zoom | Opens a zoom level picker (50%–300%) |
| ✕ Close | Close the pinned window |
| 💾 Save | Save the pinned screenshot as PNG |
| 📋 Copy | Copy to clipboard (with checkmark confirmation) |
Zoom
- Mouse wheel — Scroll up/down to zoom in/out in 5% increments
- Cmd + + — Zoom in
- Cmd + - — Zoom out
- Cmd + 0 — Reset zoom to 100%
The current zoom percentage is shown briefly in the top-left corner when changing.
Moving
Click and drag anywhere on the pinned image to reposition the window.
Closing
- Click the Close button
- Press Esc
- Double-click anywhere on the pinned image
Editing Pinned Screenshots
Click the Edit button to enter annotation mode on a pinned screenshot:
- The full annotation toolbar becomes available.
- Draw annotations on the pinned image.
- Press Esc or click Edit again to save and exit.
When you save or copy, annotations are baked into the output. They're also persisted as a separate layer so you can re-edit later.
Image Adjustments on Pins
The adjustments panel works on pinned screenshots too. Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, or enable grayscale — the effects are applied on save/copy.
