SnapGlow is a Chrome extension that automatically blurs emails, API keys, dollar amounts, card numbers and IP addresses on any web page before you take a screenshot or share your screen, then exports crisp images framed in studio backgrounds: 2x on Retina screens, and regions and elements are re-rendered at 2x on standard screens too. It works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and Vivaldi on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.

How do I blur sensitive data before sharing my screen in Google Meet or Zoom?

Install SnapGlow, turn on the Live Screen-Share Shield, and every browser tab is redacted before it paints, including tabs you switch to mid-call. SnapGlow also detects when sharing starts on Google Meet, Zoom (web), Microsoft Teams, Loom, Discord and Slack and turns the shield on automatically. Press Alt+X at any moment to drop a privacy curtain over every tab.

Is SnapGlow a good Xnapper alternative for Windows and Chrome?

Yes. Xnapper and CleanShot X are macOS apps, while SnapGlow runs inside Chromium browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS and costs $6.99 once. SnapGlow redacts the live page before capture instead of editing pixels afterwards, and adds a screen-share shield that desktop screenshot apps do not have.

Can AI de-blurring tools recover text that SnapGlow redacted?

Not with the Dots style on page text. Dots replaces every letter and digit in the page itself before the screenshot is rendered, so $6,240.18 becomes $•,•••.•• and the original characters never reach the image. Form fields, images and rich editors such as Gmail compose cannot hold replacement text, so they fall back to frosted blur. The solid bar style also hides text completely; frosted blur and pixel mosaic are best for casual sharing.

Does SnapGlow upload my screenshots or page data?

No. SnapGlow detects secrets with local pattern matching and renders screenshots in your browser; pages, captures and redacted text never leave your device. There is no SnapGlow account and no analytics. The only network calls are license checks with Dodo Payments, the merchant of record, when you activate Pro.

What is included in SnapGlow Pro and how much does it cost?

SnapGlow Pro is a $6.99 one-time lifetime purchase (regular price $12.99) that works on up to 3 browsers. It unlocks one-click auto-redaction, custom words and patterns, the Live Screen-Share Shield, Domain Shield, the Dots style, inline text editing, all 20 backgrounds and watermark removal.

Which browsers and operating systems does SnapGlow support?

SnapGlow runs in Chromium-based browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc and Vivaldi, on Windows 10 and 11, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. The default shortcut is Alt+S on Windows, Linux and ChromeOS, and Command+Shift+S on macOS; you can change it in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

I lost my license key or need to free a browser slot. What do I do?

Dodo Payments emails your key right after purchase. If you lost it, open Manage Key on getsnapglow.com and follow the link to the Dodo Payments customer portal, then sign in with your checkout email to see your key. To move Pro to another browser, choose Deactivate this browser in the SnapGlow popup on the old one. No account or password is needed.

Privacy Policy

Effective October 21, 2026

This policy covers the SnapGlow browser extension and the getsnapglow.com website. In short: the pages you redact and the screenshots you take never leave your device. The only personal data SnapGlow sends anywhere is your license key, when you activate or check SnapGlow Pro.

What stays on your device

SnapGlow finds emails, API keys, amounts and other patterns with local code running in your browser. Page content, redacted text, captures and annotations are processed in the tab and are never uploaded. Images only leave the browser when you copy them to your clipboard or save them to your computer yourself.

Your settings are saved in your browser's extension storage on this device: redaction preferences, custom words and patterns, per-site rules, Studio defaults, and, if you have Pro, your license key and activation details. Uninstalling the extension deletes them. You can export or reset your settings from the extension's settings page.

SnapGlow has no account system, no analytics, no tracking, no ads and no remote code.

What is sent, and to whom

Payments and licenses are handled by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. When you activate Pro, and about once a day afterwards to check the license is still valid, the extension sends Dodo Payments your license key, an activation ID, and a label for this browser (for example "SnapGlow · Chrome on Windows · 3f9a1c2e"; the code is random and identifies only the activation). Deactivating a browser sends the same key and activation ID. Nothing about the pages you visit is included.

When you buy Pro, you enter your email and payment details on Dodo Payments' checkout, under their privacy policy. We receive what a merchant needs to support your order, such as your name, email, country and order status. We never see your full card details.

The website

getsnapglow.com sets no cookies and runs no analytics or third-party trackers. Fonts are served from our own domain. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) for security and reliability.

If you use the license manager, the key or email you enter is sent to our server only to answer that request: keys are checked with Dodo Payments, and IP addresses are held briefly in memory to limit abuse. We don't store them. The demo key and the interactive simulator run entirely in your browser.

Browser permissions

By default SnapGlow reads a page only when you open it there with the toolbar icon or a shortcut. Domain Shield asks for access to one site at a time when you turn it on for that site, and Live Shield asks for access to all sites when you turn it on, so it can redact every tab while you present. Those features run on the sites you granted until you turn them off or remove access in your browser's extension settings. Everything they do still happens on your device.

Sharing and selling

We don't sell, rent or share your data, and we don't use it for advertising, credit decisions or anything unrelated to providing SnapGlow. The only third party involved is Dodo Payments, for the payment and license checks described above.

Children

SnapGlow is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. For questions, or to ask what order data we hold about you, contact us at the support email on our Chrome Web Store listing.
