Screen Crop - Quick Settings T

Florian Möhle

About this app

Android’s experience of sharing a snippet of your screen has never been very sophisticated. It requires taking a screenshot, cropping it using the likes of Google Photos, Markup (Android 9.0 and above) or another photo editor, and then sharing it using the gallery or the target application such as a messaging app.

However, there is a better way! Screen Crop transforms the task of taking a screenshot, cropping it and sharing it separately, into one smooth process.

Usage
After placing the quick settings tile in the tray and tapping it, swipe across the screen to select an area to be captured. If necessary, you can fine tune the selection using the four handles. You can then share it or save it using the buttons at the bottom. You can also cancel using the close button in the corner.

Note
This app works through its quick settings tile, which needs to be added manually. After installing, a Screen Crop icon will show up in your app drawer to guide through adding a settings tile. After it is set up the app drawer icon disappears automatically.

It is possible that on Xiaomi devices a full size screenshot will be taken after tapping the quick setting. It is a known issue which is currently being investigated.

Screen Crop has no ADs or in-app purchases.

Permissions
Screen Recording - required in order to capture screenshots, indicated by the temporary ‘Cast’ icon in the status bar.
Storage - required to save screenshots to device memory.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. Had a little difficulty figuring out how to get it to work on my Note 9 as the provided instructions don't work (I assume Samsung has modified the stock experience). On Note 9, you need to go into the quick tile menu, then select button order, and then you'll see 3rd party options like Screen Crop which you can drag into the quick tile area. Stupid Samsung.

Was looking for a simple screenshot app to help get screenshots from the notification area because the Power+Volume combination can sometimes be a bit temperamental. Seems to do the trick. Having a low cost option that doesn't bombard you with spamvertising is a bonus. The only suggestion I'd make is that if possible you should start with the whole screen selected rather than deselected. On some devices it's sometimes fiddly to get the whole screen, or have a button to do that in 1 clickm

Hello! I'm not sure how to contact you but the app currently isn't working with the latest Android 12 update. It appears as if you can screen crop but then nothing happens. If you save, it freezes for a few seconds and doesn't actually save anything. You can attempt to share but there's no actual image.

What's new

Update 1.0.5 🎉

Note: We are currently investigating an issue where the tile would disappear after updating from the previous version of the app.
Simply re-adding the tile to your Quick Settings in that case will fix the issue.

- Added new images for the introduction
- Tile is now disabled on the lockscreen
