Hypercapture files

hypershot saves captures as .hypercapture files — self-contained bundles that include all annotation data, images, and metadata.

File preview

hypershot registers .hypercapture files with the system so they appear with thumbnails in your file manager:

• macOS Finder — Quick Look thumbnails show a preview of the capture directly in icon and column views.
• Windows Explorer — Thumbnails render in all view modes (Extra Large Icons through Details).

The thumbnail extensions are installed automatically with hypershot. On Windows there’s nothing else to do; on macOS, check that the Quick Look extension is enabled in System Settings — see Quick Look Extension.

Opening files

Double-click any .hypercapture file to open it in hypershot with all annotations fully editable.

Sharing

.hypercapture files are standard zip archives under the hood. You can share them directly — recipients with hypershot installed can open and edit them.
