# Send the right screenshot to your AI

We help you capture the problem, add context, and choose where the screenshot goes.

## Choose the task

| Task | Capture | Add | Send to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fix a layout | The affected component and its surroundings | Viewport width, expected layout, and an arrow at the problem | Your coding assistant |
| Explain an error | The error plus the action that triggered it | Reproduction steps and expected behavior; hide secrets | Your coding assistant |
| Compare two versions | Before and after at the same size | Label each image and name what changed | Your design review conversation |
| Review onboarding | Each step in order, including the exit route | Screen number, source, date, and the question to answer | Your product review conversation |

## Use what is already on your Mac

Press **Control + Command + Shift + 4** to copy a selected area. Open a chat that accepts images, focus its input, and press **Command + V**. Check the attachment before sending.

## Make repeated captures quicker

1. In LazyScreenshots, choose your destination app.
2. Press **Command + Shift + 2** and select the region.
3. Check that the image arrived in the intended conversation. Add your request, then send it yourself.

For markup, use LazyScreenshots’ annotation workflow before sharing. Auto-paste needs a compatible image input and the required macOS permissions. A screenshot attachment does not tell the assistant what you want changed.

## A useful request

> Fix the spacing marked in this screenshot at 390px width. Keep the desktop layout and existing copy. Explain the cause, make the smallest change, and show the result.
