Sweet screenshots, free forever.
Shotcandy turns a plain screenshot into a share-ready image in a few seconds. It runs entirely in your browser: no account, no upload, no watermark, no paywall.
Private by design
Images are processed on your device with the HTML canvas. Nothing is uploaded, ever. Saved styles live in your browser.
Free, really
Every feature is free: 4× export, every frame, every background. No sign-up, no watermark, no “Pro” badge.
Open source
MIT licensed. Read the code, run it yourself, fork it, or send a pull request. Built with Next.js and a small canvas renderer.
Keep the candy jar full
Shotcandy costs nothing to use and never will. If it saves you time, a small one-off tip helps pay for the domain and the evenings spent maintaining it. Thank you!
Pay what you like, once. Monthly support is optional.

Questions
Does my screenshot leave my computer?
No. Shotcandy is a static website. Your image is decoded and drawn with the canvas API inside your browser tab, and exports are generated there too. There is no server to send it to.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes. Your exports are yours. The built-in wallpapers and frames are part of the project and MIT licensed.
Is there a watermark or a paid plan?
No watermark, no plan, no locked features. Support is optional and changes nothing in the app.
How do I report a bug or suggest a style?
Open an issue on the repository. Style suggestions with a screenshot are very welcome.
