FAQ

Can SnapAction find links in screenshots?

Yes. SnapAction can identify visible URLs, article titles, repo names, product names, and other recognizable resources in iPhone screenshots, then use web search and URL verification to recover canonical links when possible.

How link recovery works

SnapAction is not limited to screenshots where a full URL is visible. A Convex-backed AI screenshot agent analyzes the image and identifies the primary resource you likely meant to save.

If the screenshot shows enough context but no clickable URL, SnapAction can ask Serper search for likely destinations and verify the canonical link before saving the resource card.

This works best for screenshots with a clear title, GitHub owner/repo name, article headline, app or product name, place name, social post, paper title, or visible domain. Ambiguous screenshots may still need manual review.

Example

Screenshot: a post mentioning user/awesome-tool, but no full GitHub URL.

SnapAction: classifies the resource as a GitHub repository, searches for the canonical repository URL, and stores a card with an Open action when a verified destination is found.
