Capture ToolsCapture & Codes

Capture, record, and dress up your screen.

Foldout's capture tools grab regions, windows, full screens, and scrolling pages, mark up screenshots, record cinematic screen demos, beautify a plain screenshot, read and build QR and barcodes, and pull text out of images - the whole screen-and-codes workflow in one place.

Why it belongs

Why Capture Tools earns a place in the toolbox.

The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.

Every kind of capture

Grab a region, an object, the full display, or a long scrolling page, then send it to Image Annotator when it needs arrows, labels, blur, or redaction.

Layered annotation

Open screenshots and images in a focused annotator with selectable layers, text, highlights, steps, blur, pixelation, redaction, and output actions.

Recordings that look made

Record a demo with automatic zoom, a smooth cursor, and a padded backdrop, then add intro and outro cards.

Codes and text

Read a QR code off the screen, build a styled one, or lift selectable text out of an image with OCR.

Questions

Before you try Capture Tools

Does screen capture need permission?

macOS may ask for screen recording permission the first time a capture or recording tool is used.

Do recordings show the controls?

No. The recorder's on-screen controls are kept out of the final video.

Does OCR run locally?

Yes. Text recognition happens on your Mac.
