Why Screenshot Quality Matters in Your Notes

If you've ever tried to screenshot a YouTube video with your system's snipping tool, you know what you get: a blurry image with the browser toolbar, subtitle overlays, and sometimes a YouTube watermark in it. That's not something you want in your Notion notes. Pluck captures the video frame directly — none of that gets in the way.

❌ System Screenshot Tool

  • Captures the whole screen — blurry and compressed
  • Includes browser toolbar and video overlays
  • Requires switching to Notion to paste
  • No way to annotate before saving

✅ Pluck Alt+S

  • Captures the video frame directly — full quality
  • No toolbar, overlays, or watermarks
  • Saved to Notion automatically
  • Built-in editor to draw and annotate

One Shortcut. Screenshot Saved to Notion.

No need to pause the video or switch tabs. Press Alt+S at any point while watching — in normal view or fullscreen.

  • Captures the video frame directly — no toolbar or overlay in the image.
  • Draw arrows, boxes, and text labels before saving.
  • Screenshot is saved straight to your active Notion page.
