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.

Sharing is part of Solo: 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.

Yes — 7 days with everything unlocked, and it starts with your first capture. No card and no account are needed. After it, window capture and the full editor stay free forever; Solo ($19.99, one-time) keeps the other capture modes, OCR, cloud storage, share links and recording.

Nothing for three days. After that your cloud files stop being shown and the links to them say the file is no longer available, though nothing has been deleted yet. Buying Solo brings everything back. Two weeks later the files are erased for good.

Window capture and the whole editor — 13 annotation tools, blur, step numbers, crop, the colour picker — with no account and no time limit. What needs Solo is the other capture modes, OCR, the cloud, share links and recording.

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 $19.99 purchase inside the Sowiks Mac app. It unlocks every capture mode, 1 GB of cloud storage and permanent, unbranded links on your account.
