FAQPage Schema
How do I automate cross-platform screenshot capture and save to a specific path?▼

Screenshot capture automation saves outputs to an explicit user-specified path or a sensible default like the OS screenshots folder, handling region, active window, and app-based captures across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Can I capture a specific window or screen region instead of the full display?▼

Region capture is fully supported alongside active window, specific window ID, and app-based capture modes, allowing precise visual inspection targets rather than full display grabs.

How do I handle macOS permissions when automating screenshot capture?▼

macOS screenshot automation handles permissions by running preflight checks before capture, ensuring screen recording authorization is granted and listing available windows when needed.

Does cross-platform screenshot automation work on multi-display setups?▼

Cross-platform screenshot automation includes multi-display handling to reliably capture outputs across connected monitors, with robust fallback behavior if a display or window target is unavailable.

What is the best way to capture screenshots for automated visual inspection?▼

Automated visual inspection is best handled by capturing screenshots directly to a temporary directory, supporting CLI-like operations with path, mode, and format parameters for seamless workflow integration.
