We explain the privacy information Mac screenshots can expose: PNG metadata such as timestamps, display dimensions, color profiles, and sometimes software details, plus visible leaks in tabs, URLs, notifications, file paths, desktop files, Dock and menu bar apps, and Wi‑Fi names. We provide steps to inspect metadata with Preview, Finder, and `mdls`; methods to strip it with Preview, ImageOptim, ExifTool, or clipboard pasting; and an eight-point pre-share checklist. LazyScreenshots adds one-click irreversible pixelation, tight cropping, and clipboard-first capture for direct pasting into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. It costs $29 one-time: [Try LazyScreenshots](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/).
