How to share screenshots securely
First remove information the recipient does not need, then choose an attachment, authenticated workspace or controlled share link. Passwords and expiry manage future link access; they do not prevent someone who can view an image from copying it.
Choose the right delivery method
Scroll sideways to read all columns.
Remove unnecessary content before uploading
Before capturing, turn off “Sync captures to cloud” in the extension settings or use native browser capture if the original must remain off cloud storage. Redact private details in the locally saved image before uploading the checked export to a sharing service. Review the newly exported file rather than relying on a cover layer.
The free website redactor processes a chosen image locally. Hosted links are a separate paid cloud feature.

Set the access window deliberately
In Captorify’s share controls, choose 24h, 7d or 30d under Revokes in when a time limit is appropriate. Never is also available, so do not assume every new link expires.
Turn on Password protect, enter a password and save it. Verify the saved state before copying and distributing the link.
Test the recipient’s view
Open the link in a fresh signed-out browser window. Confirm the password prompt, enter the intended password and check the visible image. Send the password through a separate channel when that fits your workflow.
A view count is an aggregate activity signal, not proof of a particular person’s identity or proof that no copy was made.
Close access and account for copies
Revoke the link when the review is complete. Verify that opening the link again no longer reveals the image. Revoking a link does not delete copies someone already saved.
For an authenticated team library, review membership as well as public links. Removing one access path does not necessarily remove every authorized path.
