I wish there were an option to export a video like the example on the homepage (with some ability to control the camera path). I'd love to be able to use it to make a promotional video for a developer tool similar to the announcement video for the Windows Terminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE

If you've the security consciousness to not upload then there's no way you trust that.
This critique makes no sense. Just monitor the traffic by using a random image if you don't trust the disclaimer?

#253I honestly thought this was satire, for those times when you want to make your nice clean screenshot look like your dad took a photo of the monitor with his phone.

Nobody’s ass is hanging out except the whiny pedant who has nothing better to do than to go on ad hominem-filled diatribes based on nothing that is grounded in reality. And who’s comments are clearly absurd enough to get downvoted and flagged. Because they in no way shape or form are about the topic at hand. I wonder who that person is in this conversation. Once again, and for the last time, do you have anything to s…

Yeah, I don't want to upload my data to a random website I've never heard of, just to see what the heck it does. You NEED a few examples, otherwise users will just close tab.
OP here. I understand this instinct. In this case it doesn't actually get transferred, but stays on the client, as stated in the footer: "Image processing is done in the browser. No image data is stored or transmitted."
Think about Figma. They don't charge for how many drawings you make - that would seem ludicrous, especially since most of the compute power required to use the product is expended during client-side code execution. So instead, Figma charges you for using the app itself, but only once you want to add another collaborator to your private projects (at which point you're obviously happy with the product and probably willing to pay).
If you want to monetize this, I would encourage you to think along those same lines. You are building a product for somebody - but for whom? You can answer that question by letting people use it for free and seeing who likes it the most - marketers? news article editors? - and then building more features to focus the product on their use case.
Don't think about charging by volume - think about getting consistent usage from users who face this problem often, and then figure out how to integrate into their existing workflows. Then charge them money to do that.

> Yeah, You sound so cool when you start a sentence with "yeah" for no grammatical reason, as though answering a question that no one asked. I bet you're really laid back and were probably smoking a blunt and exhaling a massive cloud while you typed your comment. Did you personally innovate this conversational technique?

#260I can see how this is useful for laypeople. Those with a DIY attitude might resort to popular image editing tools. My choice would be trying to achieve this with Imagemagick. Fred Weinhaus' script http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/skew/index.php and maybe adding a blur later.
One thing I played around with because I needed it myself was turning pictures into things that look like they've been scanned. Made for documents, but I suppose one could use it for screenshots as well. :) https://photocopy.fuglede.dk
