Frequently Asked Questions

Take a screenshot with Sowiks and it opens straight in the editor — pick the Crop tool, drag the handles around the part you want to keep, and the rest is trimmed away. No need to open Preview or Photos to crop a screenshot on Mac.

Sowiks copies your finished, annotated screenshot to the clipboard, so you can paste it into Slack, an email, a doc or any app with Cmd+V. OCR text grabs copy the same way, ready to paste.

Every screenshot you capture with Sowiks opens in a built-in editor with tools for pen, arrows, text, shapes, highlight, blur and more — so you can edit a screenshot on Mac without switching to another app.

Use the OCR tool in Sowiks: drag over any text in a screenshot or image and it's copied to your clipboard, ready to paste. It's the fastest way to extract text from an image on Mac — no retyping.

Choose Scrolling capture from the Sowiks menu-bar icon, then scroll through the page or document — Sowiks stitches it into one tall screenshot you can edit and share.

After you capture or edit a shot, click to upload it and Sowiks gives you a link to copy in one click. You can set an expiration time and a password so only the people you send it to can open it.

There's no trial because there's a free plan with 100 MB of cloud storage at no cost. Upgrade to Solo ($14.99, one-time) whenever you want more.

Sowiks is a native macOS app and requires macOS 15.5 or later. There's no Windows version yet.

Your screenshots are private by default. Share links are unguessable, and on Solo they never expire unless you delete them. You can delete your account and all cloud data from inside the app at any time.

Solo is a one-time $14.99 purchase inside the Sowiks Mac app. It unlocks 1 GB of cloud storage and permanent, unbranded links on your account.
