Key Features
Quick Capture
Take screenshots with a single click or keyboard shortcut. Select any camera in your scene from a convenient dropdown menu and capture at any resolution from 1080p to 8K and beyond. The size multiplier lets you render at higher resolutions than your monitor supports, perfect for print materials and high-DPI displays.
Batch Camera Capture
Need screenshots from multiple angles? Add all your scene cameras to the batch list and capture them all in sequence. Each camera renders with your chosen settings, automatically named and organised. Perfect for architectural visualisations, level documentation, or creating marketing assets from different viewpoints.
GIF Recording
Record smooth animated GIFs directly from Play Mode. Customise frame rate (5-30 FPS), duration, resolution, and quality settings. The built-in encoder handles everything, no external software required. Ideal for sharing gameplay moments on social media, creating documentation, or showcasing game mechanics.
Cryptomatte & Compositing Passes
Take your post-production workflow to the next level with professional matte passes:
Object ID: Each GameObject is rendered with a unique colour for easy selection in Photoshop or After Effects
Material ID: Unique colours per material for texture-based compositing
Alpha/Mask: Clean black and white masks of your scene objects
Depth (Linear & Raw): Per-pixel depth information for fog, DOF, and atmospheric effects
Lightmaps: Extract baked lighting for compositing workflows
These passes give you the same compositing flexibility used in film and high-end visualisation pipelines.
Transparent Background
Capture screenshots with full alpha transparency for easy compositing. Perfect for creating promotional materials, UI elements, or layered compositions. Works seamlessly with URP and Built-in render pipelines.

Hide specific layers during capture without modifying your scene. Quickly exclude UI, debug visualisations, or helper objects with a simple multi-select dropdown. Your scene stays intact while your screenshots come out clean.
