One shortcut. Three quiet steps.

From pixels to paste
without the busywork.

01
Capture

Use the shortcuts you already know.

Grab a region, window, or full screen with a global hotkey and the native macOS selector.

02
Optimize

Smaller, with a quality floor.

The AI preset limits excess pixels, checks real transparency, and searches compatible formats toward a byte target.

03
Paste

The clipboard is the export flow.

A standard PNG or JPEG lands on your clipboard, ready for chat, code review, docs, or an issue.

Clipperz
Private by default

Your screenshot never takes a detour.

Capture, compression, and clipboard delivery happen on your Mac. Clipperz has no account, analytics pipeline, or upload step.
