Can I host screenshots on my own domain?

Yes. Configure SFTP to your own web server or S3 with a custom domain, and Maxisnap will generate share links on yourdomain.com. The base URL is configurable per server, so you can match whatever subdomain and path structure you prefer. This is the fastest path off any shared-host screenshot tool.

For former Droplr fans

Droplr's original workflow,
without the enterprise pricing.

Q: Did Droplr shut down?

Droplr has not shut down, but its focus shifted significantly toward enterprise and team plans. The indie-friendly pricing that made Droplr popular in the 2010s has been deprioritized, and new features tend to target organizations. For solo users, the pricing and product direction no longer fit the original value proposition.

Q: Is Droplr still good for indie use?

It still works, but pricing has climbed and the product roadmap prioritizes team and enterprise features. If you're a solo developer, designer, or support engineer who just wants capture, annotation, and a shareable link, the value-to-cost ratio has slipped. Maxisnap's $4/month Pro covers the same workflow at roughly one-sixth the cost of Droplr's team plans.

Q: Does Maxisnap support my own S3 bucket?

Yes. Point Maxisnap at any AWS S3 bucket, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or other S3-compatible endpoint. Custom domains, custom cache headers, and your own ACL rules are all supported. The upload goes straight from Maxisnap to your bucket with no middleman server.

Q: What's the cheapest Droplr alternative?

Maxisnap Free is the cheapest option — zero cost, unlimited captures, unlimited SFTP/S3 uploads to your own server, and 100 Maxisnap Cloud uploads per month. Pro at $4/month adds unlimited cloud uploads and is typically 75-85% cheaper than Droplr's comparable paid tiers.

The indie capture-and-share tool Droplr used to be. Free tier. $4/month Pro. SFTP, S3, or our cloud — your call.
