Quick answer

Export a PNG for one continuous image, PDF for a visual document, or searchable PDF when you want OCR-based text search. Use the listed quality, 1080-pixel share-size, square-slice, and portrait-slice options for delivery. Custom slice heights and saving an export preset are Pro tools.

The public listing includes these three formats in the free toolset. A searchable PDF uses recognition; it is not a guarantee of correct transcription, accessible structure, or an editable document. Use the OCR guide if you need to test recognized text.

Original, balanced, or smaller output?

The listed quality choices let you weigh detail against delivery size. Start with original when small text matters. Compare balanced or smaller output when transfer size is a concern, then inspect the exported file at a reading zoom rather than judging its thumbnail.

A smaller file is only helpful if the recipient can still use it. Conversely, sending a very tall image at its original dimensions does not prevent another app from resizing it. Keep a checked original and test the delivery method you intend to use.

When should you use slices?

Square and portrait slices divide a long capture into smaller images for sharing. They are useful when a continuous image becomes awkward to read in a feed or chat. Check the boundaries so that a heading, sentence, or important label is not separated in a confusing way.

SnapStitch also lists 1080-pixel share sizes. A share size describes the output choice in the app; it is not a promise that every social platform keeps the same dimensions. Review the destination’s preview and send a test file where quality matters.

Custom heights and saved export presets

Pro includes setting a custom image-slice height and saving and reloading an export preset. A preset is useful when you repeatedly send captures to the same destination with the same settings. Review the loaded configuration before exporting a different kind of content: a choice suited to photos may not suit dense text.

For example, keep a readable reference capture in PNG and use the slice workflow for a separate shareable set. Check the file order and names before uploading several slices so that the recipient sees the intended sequence.

A reliable export checklist

  1. Finish the seam and privacy checks before opening export.
  2. Select the format that fits the reader’s task.
  3. Choose quality and share dimensions, and review any slice or preset settings.
  4. Save, then open the actual exported file in a separate viewer.
  5. Check the first and last sections, small text, slice boundaries, and recognized text where applicable.
  6. Inspect the delivered copy if another app processes the attachment.

Find saved work without rebuilding it

Use the library or History to reopen an existing capture when you need another review or export. Queue organizes additional stitching jobs while work continues. Confirm completion and the actual saved file before deleting a source or telling a recipient the result is ready.

Questions and answers

Which SnapStitch export formats are free?

The public listing includes PNG, PDF, and searchable PDF without Pro.

Do square and portrait slices require Pro?

The public description distinguishes standard share sizes and square or portrait slices from Pro’s custom slice-height control. Check your installed export screen for the available options.

What does a saved export preset do?

It saves an export configuration for reuse. Saving and reloading that preset is listed as a Pro tool; review its settings when switching to different content.

Why did a recipient get a blurry image?

The receiving app may resize or compress it. Compare the delivered copy with your exported original, and consider sending the original as a file or document.
