Product Overview
Lumshot is a screenshot and visual communication tool for Windows and macOS that helps teams capture, annotate, record, and share information in one place. It’s built for workflows where screenshots need to be explained, documented, and turned into next steps—such as bug reports, design reviews, and support feedback.
Beyond basic capture, Lumshot adds Smart Redact for hiding sensitive information, OCR for extracting text from screenshots, and screen recording for capturing context. It also supports workflow features like AI Chat Auto Paste to insert screenshots into active AI chat sessions and native Jira issue creation from annotated screenshots.
Key features
- Smart Annotation tools add arrows, shapes, text, highlights, and blur to screenshots for clearer explanations.
- Smart Redact quickly hides sensitive information before sharing.
- OCR extracts text from screenshots so teams can reuse captured information.
- AI Chat Auto Paste captures a screen and automatically inserts the screenshot into the active AI chat workflow.
- Native Jira integration creates Jira issues from annotated screenshots, reducing manual uploads and extra steps.
- Screen recording captures more than a single frame to document processes and reproduce issues.
How Lumshot works
- 1
Capture the relevant screen
Take a screenshot (or record a screen) of the area needed for the task or issue.
- 2
Annotate and redact key details
Add arrows, shapes, text, highlights, or blur, then apply Smart Redact if sensitive information must be hidden.
- 3
Share or create next steps
Send the result for review, extract text with OCR, paste into an active AI chat, or create a Jira issue from the annotated screenshot.
Use cases
- Developer or QA bug reporting: capture the problem, add annotations, and create a Jira issue directly from the screenshot workflow to keep reporting in flow.
- Design or product feedback: capture a UI area, annotate with highlights and shapes, and share the marked-up screenshot for faster reviews and clearer decisions.
- Support or education documentation: record a short screen walkthrough, annotate key regions, and use OCR to extract and reuse text from screenshots.
Who is it for?
Lumshot is designed for developers, designers, product teams, support/QA teams, and educators who regularly communicate visually and need screenshots to turn into actionable work. It fits teams that want fewer app switches when capturing, explaining, extracting, and sharing information.
