You just ran a screenshot through analysis and the result is useful. Too useful to keep to yourself. A bug your teammate needs to see, a pricing page you want feedback on, a chart you want a client to react to.
The instinct is to take a screenshot of the popup, paste it into Slack, and move on. But that loses the AI summary entirely. Pasting just the summary loses the image it was about. Pasting both means writing two messages and explaining the connection.
There's a one-click answer to that whole problem. After any analysis, hit Share. You get a link on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere, and whoever opens it sees the screenshot and the AI summary together.
How it works, step by step
Capture the page (visible area, full page, or selection) and run a Quick or Deep analysis. Sharing only becomes available once there's an AI summary attached to the screenshot.
In the result panel, you'll see Copy, PDF, and Share sitting in a row above the summary. Click Share. The button flips to "Sharing…" while the link gets created, then to "✓ Link copied!" when it's ready.
The URL is already on your clipboard. Drop it into Slack, an email, a Notion page, a doc comment, whatever you'd usually paste a link into. The format is vzlyze.com/share.html?id=... with a short random ID.
What's in a share link
Three things ride along with the link.
The screenshot itself. Compressed slightly before upload (smaller than the version the AI analyzed), but visually identical for anything readable in a normal browser. The compression keeps the page fast for the recipient.
The AI summary. The exact text you saw in the popup, formatted the same way.
A mode badge. Whether you ran a Quick or Deep analysis is labelled on the share page, so the recipient knows what kind of pass produced the summary they're reading.
What does not get shared: your account, your credit balance, your past captures, the URL of the page you screenshotted, your name. The share is just the one image plus the one summary. Nothing else from your session.
What the recipient sees
They click the link in any browser. No account, no signup, no extension required. The page loads with the screenshot at the top, the AI summary below it, a mode badge, and a small footer with the view count and how long until the link expires.
That's it. The page is read-only. The recipient can save the image, copy the summary text, or click back to vzlyze.com if they want to try it themselves. They cannot change anything or run a fresh analysis on your shared screenshot.
Safeguards we built in
Share links are public to anyone who has the URL, the same way a Dropbox or Google Drive "anyone with the link" file is public. So we set a few guardrails by default.
- Auto-expiry after 7 days. The share record gets deleted automatically. No "I forgot I shared that" surprises six months later.
- 50-view cap. Each link works for a maximum of 50 opens, then it stops loading. Plenty for a team, low enough to limit drift if a link leaks.
- No search engine indexing. The share page is marked
noindex, nofollow. Google won't crawl it, even if someone pastes the link into a public page. - 50 active shares per account. Cap on how many live links exist at once. Old ones expire automatically; nothing piles up on the backend.
When we use this
A few patterns that keep coming up in our own workflow.
Bug reports to dev. Capture the broken state, run a Quick Analysis so the AI describes what it sees, click Share, paste into the bug tracker. The dev gets the visual and a written summary in one click instead of a vague "screenshot attached, see the weird thing in the corner."
Design feedback. Screenshot a mock, run Deep Analysis to get reactions on hierarchy and clarity, share the link with the designer. They get the same critique you saw without you having to retype it.
Forwarding research to a client. Capture a competitor's pricing page, run a Quick Analysis with notes, share. Faster than writing a recap email from scratch.
Pinning a useful analysis. Even if you have no one to send the link to, the share URL is a 7-day cache of one specific analysis. Drop it into a project note as a reference.
When to use something else
Share links are not the right tool for every job.
For a permanent record, use the PDF export instead. The PDF lives on your machine, never expires, and includes the same screenshot plus summary in a layout you can print or archive. Share links are deliberately temporary.
For private or regulated data, do not share at all. The link is public to anyone who possesses the URL. If someone forwards it, anyone they forward it to can view it. Treat shares the way you treat any "anyone with the link" file.
For images larger than about 1.5 MB after compression, you'll see an "image too large for sharing" error. The fix is to capture a smaller area, or to crop your screenshot before running the analysis. Full-page captures of very long pages are the most likely thing to trip this limit.
