Tips: Deliver
Delivering is where a capture leaves your Mac. These tips cover getting a file out fast, sharing something sensitive, and knowing exactly what’s in the file you hand over.
Quick exports
Section titled “Quick exports”- Drag straight out. Drag a thumbnail from the recent strip into Finder, Mail, Slack, or any app — no save dialog, no export menu.
- Export a batch. Select several captures and Export to Image (⌘S) writes them all into one folder. Recordings batch out the same way.
Encrypted packages
Section titled “Encrypted packages”- Set an expiry. Export to
Package (⇧⌘E) takes an expiry
date, so the
.sealsharestops opening on its own — no need to chase anyone to delete it. It takes an optional passcode hint too. - Copy the passcode while it’s on screen. It’s generated at export time — grab it before the dialog closes.
- Send the passcode separately. Package by email, passcode by Signal or a phone call. One intercepted inbox should never yield both halves.
- The recipient chooses. Opening a package offers Add to Library or Save to Folder… — see opening a package.
What’s in the file
Section titled “What’s in the file”- Exported images are flattened. The annotation objects are baked into the image, so re-importing an export won’t recover them as objects.
- “Include original un-redacted capture” ships the original. That one package option includes the un-redacted pixels alongside the redacted result. Leave it off unless the recipient genuinely needs the original.
