Like all web developers, every now and then you need to remotely share a screen shot with a client, team member, or anyone else. If you’re using Mac OS X, Grab Up is the perfect tool for that.

  1. Download and install the free Grab Up tool.
  2. When you want to take a screen shot, hit command-shift-4 and select the area of your screen you want to capture (or command-shift-3 to take a full screen shot).
  3. Grab-up uploads the screen shot to their server and copies a URL to your clipboard. Just paste that URL into your IM or email and send it off.

TIP: After you hit command-shift-4 you can also hit the space bar to select just an open window.

I’m a big fan of Skitch since it includes rudimentary drawing tools as well as easy enlarging and cropping of the screenshot.
