For Developers
You're deep in a debugging session. You need a screenshot for a PR comment. Ctrl+Q, select, paste. You never leave your editor. No window switching, no file management, no upload waiting.
Capture a UI state, annotate the issue with arrows and callout numbers, paste into a GitHub comment. Reviewers see exactly what you mean instead of reading a paragraph of description.
Capture an error message or a stack trace and pin it as a floating preview. It stays on top of your editor while you dig through the code. No more switching between windows to re-read the error.
Set the output format to base64 Data URI and your screenshot goes to clipboard as an embeddable string. Paste directly into markdown, HTML, or CSS without saving a file.
Capture a screen that shows API keys, tokens, or personal data? Open the annotation editor and blur the sensitive parts before pasting into a public channel or issue tracker.
Need to show a colleague how a feature works? Ctrl+Shift+Q to record a screen region with your mic. Export as MP4 and drop it in Slack. Ten seconds from hotkey to posted.
No mouse-first UI. Global hotkey to capture, single-key shortcuts for every annotation tool. The entire workflow stays on your keyboard, just like your editor.
Cloud screenshot tools upload your screen to third-party servers. That means your codebase, your terminal output, your env files, and your internal dashboards could end up on someone else's infrastructure.
Quick Gen never makes a network request (except for update checks). Your screenshots stay on your machine. The code is open source so you can verify that yourself.
Download Quick Gen and start capturing in seconds. Free, open source, no account needed.
