How to Organize Your Screenshots Automatically

Smart processing can handle titles, OCR, and searchable metadata for every screenshot — here's how to set it up.

Manual screenshot organization doesn't scale. After capturing 500 screenshots, naming and tagging each one manually is a part-time job. Screenmarks handles the first pass — reading each screenshot, generating a descriptive title, extracting text, and adding searchable metadata.

Step-by-Step

1

Install Screenmarks

Background processing happens automatically — there's no separate setup step. Every screenshot is queued for processing after capture.

2

Capture screenshots normally

Use Alt+Shift+S or Alt+Shift+R. Screenmarks reads the screenshot in the background and generates a title.

3

Watch the title appear

The screenshot in your library shows a smart title describing what's in it: "Stripe pricing page — three tier comparison" instead of "Screenshot 2024-11-14".

4

Let OCR make it searchable

Simultaneously, OCR extracts all text from the screenshot. Any word in any screenshot is now searchable.

5

Use Live Collections for auto-sorting

Set up Live Collections with rules to automatically sort screenshots into the right folders as they're captured.

Pro Tip

Smart titles improve with context. If you add a note or the screenshot includes rich context (like a full article), the title becomes more specific and useful.
