Your Screenshots, Automatically Organized

AI analyzes every screenshot, assigns categories, generates tags, and writes concise summaries. Your collection stays organized without any manual effort.

AI That Understands What Your Screenshots Are About

Every screenshot tells a story, but without organization, that story gets lost in a sea of images. SnapStash AI's categorization engine uses large language models to analyze the extracted text and visual context of each screenshot, determining what it is about and where it belongs in your collection.

The tagging system goes beyond simple keyword extraction. It identifies entities (people, companies, products), recognizes topics (technology, finance, design), and detects content types (tutorial, conversation, receipt, error message). These multi-dimensional tags create a rich metadata layer that makes your screenshots infinitely more discoverable.

Each screenshot also receives an AI-generated summary of one to two sentences that captures the essential information. These summaries serve as quick previews, letting you scan through your collection rapidly without opening every image. They also feed into the RAG chatbot, improving search accuracy.

Pro users can customize the categorization system with their own categories and tag rules. Create project-specific tags, define custom categories that match your workflow, and set up auto-filing rules that route screenshots to the right folders automatically based on content patterns.

How Auto Categorization Works

1

AI Analyzes Content

After OCR extraction, the AI reads the text and visual layout to understand what your screenshot contains and what context it belongs to.

2

Tags and Categories Assigned

The AI assigns a category, generates relevant tags, identifies key entities, and writes a concise summary. All metadata is stored locally for fast access.

3

Browse Organized Collections

View your screenshots organized by category, filter by tags, or browse summaries. Everything is searchable and connected through the AI knowledge graph.

Frequently Asked Questions

Free users get AI-generated categories and tags automatically. Pro users can create custom categories, define their own tag rules, and set up automated filing rules that match their specific workflow needs.

You can manually adjust any category or tag with a single tap. The AI learns from your corrections over time, improving its accuracy for future screenshots that match similar patterns.

The AI reads all extracted text from a screenshot and generates a concise one to two sentence summary capturing the key information. Summaries are displayed as previews in your collection and are fully searchable.
