CloudApp is the world's leading visual communication platform.

Drag a file to CloudApp or use our hotkey shortcuts to capture a screenshot, GIF, or HD screen-recording. A link to the file will automatically be copied to your clipboard that you can paste to Slack, Twitter, IM, email, or smoke signals. 'So simple that you use it without realizing it's there.' — Tim Van Damme (Dropbox) “CloudApp streamlines our sharing and communication.
I no longer waste time trying to explain complex workflows or edits to be made or get mired in file attachments. Instead I just constantly use CloudApp to capture, comment, and share via a handy link. CloudApp is indispensable to the efficiency of our business, and they’re fantastic to work with.” — Daniel Odio (ShareThis) 'CloudApp is extremely useful, beautiful, and so very simple. Exactly what you want in a utility.'
— Mark Jardine (Tapbots) 'CloudApp is file sharing the way it should be: simple and powerful with a handy keyboard shortcut integration that my fingers tend to stay glued to, all bundled into an elegant UI.' — Brian Hoff (The Design Cubicle) “Few apps come across my path that becomes instantly integrated into my workflow. Cloudapp is one of them. I honestly can't imagine using my computer without it. It's critical to the way I work.” — Mike Gowen (Delighted) Features:.

The app will better handle errors when trying to activate webcam without a camera or in clamshell mode. Shortcuts on the native viewer and selection on drop list are working again. 4.3.3 Jan 4, 2018. This release is is a fairly small one.
We took some time to address some issues that were affecting your experience using CloudApp! Here's a quick list of what's included: - Fixed an obscure issue where Slack channels would duplicate on our Share to Slack module. Upgraded the drag and drop experience on our Annotate module so you can share your annotations more easily. GIFs should no longer play at a higher speed than the one they were recorded at.
When you're recording your beautiful face using our app, you can now choose between mirrored and natural display modes. A bunch of code has also been cleaned. You don't need to know this!.
4.3.2 Nov 29, 2017. New: - We've added a new option so you can take a full-screen screenshot: check the 'More' menu inside the app. When recording your webcam as picture-in-picture in screen recordings, you can now select between 3 preset sizes. You can now select your own key combination to send a screen capture to Slack or Trello in the Preferences window. Fixed: - Fixed a rare crash on our Annotate component.

(Note: this is an experimental feature). › When doing a screen recording, either on HD or GIF, you can now add your webcam to the mix to better express what a simple screen recording can't. You'll love this one › You can now copy and paste annotations on your images! › Also, when in the middle of a recording, you can now use the same combination of keys that you use to start a screen recording, to finish and start the upload process. › If you have an external microphone or webcam connected to your computer, you can now choose those as sources for video and audio on screen and webcam recordings.
Fixed: › Fixed some small interaction details on the screen recording flow. For instance, you now get a countdown before the recording starts. › Fixed the search bar randomly disappearing from the app. › Fixed a lot of really small bugs that some of you were kind enough to report to us! Thank you for that!. 4.2.5 Jul 7, 2017.
New on 4.2.5: - You can now drag and drop your annotated images right from the Annotate window! - More Annotate love! Drag an image from your desktop or any app to the Annotate window to add an extra layer of expressiveness to your annotations! - Also, you now can draw outside of the image itself, giving you more space in case you need to express yourself with more annotations.
We're also updating our pricing structure with this update. Read more on the Preferences window!
Fixed on this version: - Resizing emojis on the Annotate window is now faster and better! - We found and squashed some more subtle bugs in Annotate for your comfort.

There's now an option in the Preferences window to highlight clicks on your GIF and Video screen recordings. Fixes: - Restored the hotkey functionality for copying actions on the Annotate window.
Sorry about that! - Fixed a bug where Drops from an account that was just signed out of would be visible on a new account sign in. Various UI/UX fixes for the Annotate window. It should now feel 'snappier' in general between saves. The Annotate window shouldn't freeze when saving GIF annotations anymore! Thanks for your reports!
- Hovering on a Drop's row now reveals the action icons faster. Fixed an issue where the GPU/CPU would go crazy on computers with discrete graphic cards. No more cranking up your fans!. 4.2.2 Apr 20, 2017. New: - You asked.
GIF annotations! Go ahead and try annotating GIF's. It's really, really fun. We can't stop. Updated how logs are sent to CloudApp when you're having trouble.

Our new native annotation mode means you can make markups faster than ever: Add arrows and text. Crop or highlight a section. Even add emojis!
- Did we mention emojis? - Command-Shift-A to capture and annotate in one easy motion. More ways to annotate: Use our handy new annotate icon at the top of the app.
Or set ALL your screen captures to open in annotate mode via your preferences panel. More common shortcuts: 1). Use Command-S to save those new annotations you’re creating.
Use Command-D to download any drop you’ve selected. Have you tried creating GIFs with CloudApp yet? And to encourage you we’ve added a big GIF button to the top of the app. It’s our GIFt. Retina screen? You no longer have to worry about massive screenshots.
With our new Upload Resolution preference, either enable full resolution, or autoscale down to 72 PPI. We’ve added a globe icon to take you to the web app.
This replaces the CloudApp icon. When you click on it, think of all the places you can go with all the time CloudApp saves you. Are you taking advantage of all that CloudApp has to offer? Creating GIFs, annotations, and more? Our new progress bar lets you know when we launch core new features you won’t want to miss!
- More ways to share with CloudApp: in preferences you can select 'Copy content' when a file is ready to share.Fixed. When uploading a drop, our menu bar icon would do this disco thing, showing different colors with a progress bar dancing back and forth.
It was well meaning. Now it’s back to normal. 4.1.1 Sep 27, 2016. New - Excited about the release of macOS Sierra? We’re pleased to say that CloudApp 4.0.1 is fully compatible with Sierra. We’re now sporting Apple’s “San Francisco” typeface.
So CloudApp should feel all the more at home on your beloved Mac. Plus we heart San Francisco.
It’s where we’re based! Fixed - We came out with a new logo.
However, soon after the new logo appeared in the Mac menu bar, some of you pointed out that it was the wrong color (that’s very diligent of you, thank you!). Premium paid users get access to our awesome suite of security features (set a password, team access only, auto-delete). However they weren’t getting the “premium” design experience, as the layout of the security modal was off. We cleaned up the copy in our “more” menu.
“When I upload a file in the Mac app, I want the fill in the menu bar icon to look complete, not janky” - we liked this developer story written just as is. Down with janky!. 4.0.0 Jul 27, 2016. New - Search - Introducing CloudApp Visual Search.
Now you can search by file name or OCR (text within an image). You can also search by object (dog) or attribute (blue). Bring your previous drops to life and put them back to work again!
Or find that poster you made for your long lost blue-colored dog named “Milo.” - Share Settings Part 1: Who can view your drops? Set a password. Make your drops accessible to a select few. Or set access to within your organization only. CloudApp can do that?
- Share Settings Part 2: With our new expiration controls, you can set your drop to expire in 30 days. Or after 30 views. Or by any combination you choose.
No one should be eavesdropping on the drops you make. Now you can create and share securely. Analytics - Who’s been viewing your files? Well, we can’t tell you why, but we can tell you a lot with our new Analytics dashboard. Accessible through the Mac app (click on your view counter). New look: Away with you old skeuomorphic design.
Say hello to our new UI, logo, and icons. Feels just like a brand new car.
Except you don’t have to pay for gas. Or insurance. Bigger buttons. Want to annotate your screenshot? Or grab a quick link? We’ve redesigned the list view with larger, clearer icons.
Now it’s faster and easier to get done, whatever you need to get done. Larger thumbnails. Scan your drops list and find the drop you’re looking for without having to put on reading glasses. And don’t forget, once you select a drop, you can still click the spacebar on your keyboard to see an even larger preview. We’ve added tutorials. Now getting started with CloudApp is easier than ever.
Fixed - We hope you’re loving the new drag feature (drag a drop straight from CloudApp into a Keynote file, Slack, or anywhere you like). You may have noticed that if you made a change to that drop (like added an arrow annotation), the change wasn’t being reflected in the file you’re dragging. We fixed that so now you’ll be dragging the most recent version of the drop. Not the old previously cached one. Who wants that?!?
- We removed password confirmation during sign up. We removed password confirmation during sign up. Lots of you use Command+Shift+4 to take screenshots.
So that those screenshots exist locally (on your computer) AND in CloudApp. There is a catch to this, however. If you change where you save your screenshots on your Mac, they won’t be uploaded to CloudApp anymore. Well never fear, if that happens in the future we’ll prompt you to point us in the right direction. We’re doing all we can to make sure your drops arrive to CloudApp with no stopovers, and no delays. CloudApp fails to open for some of you on system startup. We recently added a handy pause button to your screen recordings.
It was great for pausing the recording, but not so great at pausing your allotted time for making a recording. In other words, if you are on a plan that gives you 5 minutes to make a recording, and you paused your recording for 5 minutes, you’d be all out of time. That’s not fair. So we’ve fixed this and made it so that pausing doesn’t affect your allotted time. 3.10.1 May 13, 2016. New: - Are you a maniacal perfectionist?
This feature’s for you: When you create a screen recording and it’s not quite right, you re-record it. And then you re-record it again. We’re going to help you out by remembering the last recording window you selected, so you don’t have to start from scratch every time you make a new one. So get that recording just right. Then get back to building your spaceship, designing that new app, or solving the water crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa.
We hope you’re loving our new direct-drag feature (drag an image straight from CloudApp in your menu bar to Slack, a Zendesk Ticket, Keynote presentation, or whatever else you’re working on). We’ve made direct drag more responsive by adding notifications when you try and drag newly created content that isn’t cached yet. Fixed: - Paid plan users can save their GIF and HD recordings straight to their computer. However, this wasn’t clearly laid out in preferences. Upgrade today to enjoy this feature! - A link needed to be better highlighted in our auto-upload modal.
We asked new users for access to their contacts after downloading CloudApp for the first time. Good question. We won’t be doing that anymore. New users should be able to sign up for CloudApp after downloading. That was broken but now it’s fixed. A user with his mic turned off noticed that when he switched between GIF and HD recordings the mic would turn itself on and that could lead to some embarrassing situations.
We can all be grateful that he let us know. CloudApp processes your video recording as quickly as possible. While that’s happening, you have to wait to make your next recording.
We’ve added a notification so you don’t wonder why CloudApp isn’t working. The message is: CloudApp is ALWAYS working for you. You’ll be able to make your next recording soon. 3.9.0 Apr 21, 2016. What’s New in Version 3.9.0: - Drag an image straight from CloudApp in your menu bar to Slack, a Google Doc, Zendesk ticket, Keynote presentation, or whatever else you’re working on. Works for GIFs, too!
- The power of pause. Yes, you can now pause that screen recording you’re making. Grab a cup of coffee, play some Kubb (aka Viking Chess), and then start up again right where you left off.
Works for Webcam recordings, too. Copy an image (or GIF) to your clipboard (Copy Content option).
Then paste it wherever you like! - Working with a team? Invite everyone at once by copy and pasting that list of emails.
No more sending one invite at a time. Fixed: - We've rearranged the icons on the top toolbar to highlight our most popular features. We’ve made it easier to make a GIF or HD recording by making this feature prominent. The download option for users with custom domains is now problem free.
Bug that causes some users to lose recordings that were less than a minute. CloudApp now plays well with the handy Bartender app so you can keep your toolbar organized and CloudApp always one click away. You now have access to the screen recording controls even when the recording area is super small. Some users with OSX Spaces reported that clicking on CloudApp bumped them from one space to another. That's fixed. Did you know that you can preview images right in the menu dropdown by clicking on the image, and then your space bar? Well you can, and now those previews will generate even faster.
Some users reported that when they took a screenshot, nothing happened. With a little sleuthing, we traced the issue to conflicting dates between the creation of a temporary screenshot and the final png file. Rest assured, we’ve resolved this discrepancy and the entire space/time continuum is back to normal. 3.8.2 Feb 11, 2016. Now you can grab screenshots of on-hover elements like dropdowns, menus, and tooltips! Delayed Screenshots let you grab your shot at the precise moment you choose.
Drag content from the CloudApp menu bar drop down, straight into that Keynote, or other file you’re working on. This saves you a step from having to open your browser to access your content! - It’s easier to invite more team members now: Just look for the link in the first row of the CloudApp dropdown! - Do you use CloudApp to share photos from your Photos app?
Now you can easily drag-and-drop for quick, seamless sharing. And, other minor improvements and bug fixes!. 3.7.0 Dec 7, 2015. CloudApp now lets you make and quickly share GIFs, using just your webcam. Do you share files using the ‘Email this link to anyone’ option? Now you can add a message to send with your link! - Easily upload files from your computer to CloudApp (so they’re ready to share) by choosing our shiny new menu option — “Upload From Computer” — in addition to the drag-and-drop method.
Love notifications? Can’t stand ’em?
Or maybe you want to control which kinds you get? Now you can, in Preferences! - Can’t find CloudApp in your Menu bar? CloudApp is now happy to live in your dock, too. Bug fix: Retina screens were staying dark during recording. This will no longer happen, thankfully. Bug fix: High quality GIF recording was producing an error.
This now runs smoothly! - And other random stability improvements and minor bug fixes. 3.6.0 Sep 30, 2015. New: Mojave dark mode compatibility makes sure CloudApp doesn’t leave you out in the dark! Permissions support for Mojave authorization of webcam and microphone (we’ve got you covered for all Mojave support). Ability to reset CloudApp to default shortcuts (just in case you need to get back to where this all started!) Fixes: Restored the button for full-size picture-in-picture recording making it easy to create full-sized webcam videos and add personality to any message.
Mojave issues with Screenshot and Annotate shortcut. Fixed the login to share drops using Slack. Share what you will directly to your Slack-o-sphere from the native CloudApp client. Mrjoelcarter, Can’t Live Without It I can’t overstate how simple and perfect CloudApp is.
I couldn’t imagine my workflow without it. I’m always needing to send files and snapshots to clients. I think PDFs in emails are slow and clunky, and too far removed from the point I’m trying to make. But when I can hyperlink a key thought to an image or mockup.
It’s as easy as taking a screenshot and within seconds the screen is hosted, shortlinked, and saved into my clipboard. It couldn’t be easier. Everyone needs this app! Mrjoelcarter, Can’t Live Without It I can’t overstate how simple and perfect CloudApp is.
