Creating a link for a screenshot makes sharing visuals online incredibly simple. Instead of sending image files, you share a URL that anyone can click to view the captured image directly in their browser. This process typically involves using a dedicated tool or service that captures your screen, uploads the image to their servers, and provides you with a unique, shareable link.
The provided reference details one specific method using the ScreenClip Chrome extension.
