Kraken screenshot recommendation

Screenshot best practices

  1. If taking a screenshot of a website, always include the url in the screenshot (or the full application, if not a website). This gives the viewer full context for what they are looking at.
  2. Use annotations (arrows or a box) to draw attention to the relevant part of the screenshot
  3. Blur any sensitive information

Examples

Good Screenshot (Contains URL, sensitive information blurred) Bad Screenshot
Good Screenshot Bad Screenshot

Screenshot tools

Kraken uses and recommends Cleanshot X (Mac-only), but there are many great screenshot tools that support annotations. Monosnap is a Windows app.
