How to password-protect a screenshot and make the link expire

Open Share for a synced Captorify capture, enable Password protect, enter and save a password, then choose 24h, 7d or 30d under Revokes in. Check the saved state and test the link as a signed-out recipient before sending it.

Set the actual share controls

  1. Review a synced capture

    Open the capture you intend to share and verify that its redacted result is ready. Public cloud links require an eligible paid workspace.

  2. Open Share

    Open the Share panel. An inactive link has a Create new link control. An existing active link retains its saved settings.

  3. Enable and save a password

    Turn on Password protect, enter a strong password of at least six characters and select Save. Confirm Password is set before distributing the link.

  4. Choose an expiry

    Under Revokes in, select 24h, 7d or 30d and wait for the change to save. Never leaves the link without a scheduled expiry.

  5. Verify and copy

    Test the link in a fresh signed-out window, then use Copy. Share the password separately where appropriate.

What the settings control

Password protect adds a password check before the recipient can view the shared capture. The saved password is hashed, and the interface does not reveal the stored value when you return.

The expiry choices in the current interface are 24h, 7d, 30d and Never. Choose the shortest access window that fits the handoff.

Check the recipient experience

A protected link asks for a password. Confirm that the intended password opens the intended image and that all private fields have been removed.

Guest comments are a separate switch. Leave them disabled unless the review needs them. The view counter is not a list of verified viewers.

Understand what cannot be revoked

Someone who can view the screenshot can still save or photograph it. Expiry and revocation control future access through the link, not copies outside the service.

Redact first, set controls deliberately and close access when the work is finished. Free local exports and free website tools do not create hosted share links.
