Paste a normal share link into a GitHub issue and you get a link, not a picture. Whoever reads the issue has to click out to see the thing you are describing. Downloading the file and re-uploading it works, but it is three steps for something that should be one.
How to do it
- 1
Take the screenshot and let the link land on your clipboard
- 2
Add a plus sign to the end of the link
So quicksnip.com/s/abc123 becomes quicksnip.com/s/abc123+
- 3
Paste it into the issue inside image markdown
Wrap it as  and GitHub renders it in place.
What you end up with
The screenshot renders inline in the issue, so anyone reading it sees the problem without leaving the page.
Questions
Does this work outside GitHub?
Anywhere that expects an image URL rather than a web page. Issue trackers, wikis, chat tools, and AI agents that need the file itself.
Is there a version for video?
Video has a different shortcut. Add .json to a recording link to get structured data an agent can read.
Try it yourself
QuickSnip is free to start. Record or snap, and the link is on your clipboard before the window closes.

Give an AI agent a recording it can actually read
Add .json to any share link and an agent gets structured data back instead of a video file it cannot watch.
Record a bug report a developer can actually fix
Narrate what you were doing while you do it, so the recording carries the steps instead of just the symptom.
