After taking your screenshot, look for the vertical toolbar that appears click the down arrow icon to download your image directly to your computer. It's that straightforward!

But Picd offers much more than just basic screenshots. The vertical toolbar includes several useful tools: a cloud icon for uploading to Picd's website, an X to cancel, and boxes icon to restart your screenshot. There's also a horizontal toolbar packed with nine editing options. You'll find light and dark rectangle tools for drawing boxes, a marker for highlighting text, a grid button to blur sensitive content, and tools for drawing lines and arrows to emphasize important parts of your screenshot.

Here's a handy tip: you can right click anytime to access the toolbar view, allowing you to restart or take another screenshot without pressing 'Print Screen' again. One thing to note if you want to remove screenshots from Picd's cloud storage, you'll need to email the company.
