How to connect Highlite to Slack and send screenshots

Updated November 3, 2026

Quick answer

Open Highlite's Export panel, choose a capture mode and pick Slack as the destination. Connect Slack once, select a channel, add an optional comment and click Send screenshot. Sending to Slack needs Premium.

Steps

  1. Annotate the page and open the Export panel with Export or Ctrl+Shift+E (Cmd+Shift+E on Mac).
  2. Under Capture, choose Viewport, Full page or Selection.
  3. Under Destination, click Slack. Without Premium, the button carries a Pro label and the upgrade screen opens.
  4. The first time, click Connect Slack and approve the connection in the Slack window that opens.
  5. Under Channel, pick one from Select a channel…, and type a note in Add a comment (optional) if you want one.
  6. Click Send screenshot. The button shows Sent to Slack ✓ once the image is posted.

If a channel is missing or sending fails

Highlite posts through its Slack app, which has to be a member of the channel. Add the Highlite app to the channel from Slack, then try again. Use Disconnect in the Slack panel to switch to another workspace.

The free way to get a screenshot into Slack

Without Premium, choose Copy to clipboard as the destination and paste the image into any Slack message with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). It takes one more step and gives the same image.

Limitations

  • Sending to Slack requires Premium and a Highlite account (Google sign-in).
  • For Jira, Linear, Notion or email, copy the screenshot and paste it, or route it there through a webhook. Discord has its own destination.

Premium is an optional plan ($4.99/month or $49.99/year) that adds Markdown and JSON export and sending screenshots to Slack, Discord or a webhook. Every annotation tool and screenshots stay free. See pricing
