# Screenshots, UI Captures, and Documentation Images
|
||||
|
||||
## Capture and Export Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Capture from the real rendered interface, not from a scaled preview inside a design tool or browser zoom guess.
|
||||
- Use PNG or lossless WebP for screenshots, UI captures, terminal images, and annotated docs unless there is a strong reason not to.
|
||||
- Keep a clean master before adding arrows, callouts, blurs, or frames.
|
||||
- If a screenshot is evidence or documentation, do not crop away the context that proves what the user should see.
|
||||
|
||||
## Redaction and Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
- Check for tokens, emails, names, avatars, tabs, URLs, timestamps, and notifications before sharing.
|
||||
- Blur, mask, or replace sensitive data deliberately; do not rely on tiny text being unreadable.
|
||||
- Redaction must be irreversible in the exported asset, not just hidden behind a translucent layer in the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Annotation Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Add arrows, highlights, and callouts sparingly and keep them high contrast.
|
||||
- Do not let annotations cover the thing they are trying to explain.
|
||||
- If multiple steps are shown, use consistent numbering and visual language across the set.
|
||||
- For bug reports or release notes, the annotation should point at the defect or change without forcing the reader to hunt for it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consistency for Series and Comparisons
|
||||
|
||||
- Before/after comparisons should use the same zoom, theme, device class, and crop.
|
||||
- Tutorial step images should keep consistent window chrome, spacing, and annotation style.
|
||||
- If one screenshot is dark mode and the next is light mode, that difference should be intentional and labeled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Marketing and Device Frames
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep an unframed master and export device-framed marketing variants separately.
|
||||
- Device frames are for presentation, not for core source control of the screenshot.
|
||||
- Reflections, shadows, and perspective mockups should not hide the actual UI.
|
||||
- If the product is mobile-first, validate that tiny UI text still reads after the frame and background treatment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation and OCR Safety
|
||||
|
||||
- Screenshots that contain code, logs, or settings should keep text readable enough for OCR and human scanning.
|
||||
- Avoid aggressive compression on terminal captures and code screenshots.
|
||||
- If the user needs the content to be searchable or screen-reader-friendly, duplicate the important text in surrounding copy rather than relying on the screenshot alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Screenshot Traps
|
||||
|
||||
- Exporting screenshots as JPEG and blurring small text.
|
||||
- Sharing unstable UI elements like toasts, timestamps, or notifications that make the docs age badly.
|
||||
- Leaving secrets in browser tabs, URLs, or side panels.
|
||||
- Comparing two UI states with different crops, zoom levels, or themes and calling it a fair comparison.
|
||||
- Over-annotating until the screenshot becomes harder to parse than the original screen.
