Today marks a major moment in the life of Skitch for Mac: you can now share through Evernote. With a single click, send your annotated images, screenshots and ideas directly into Evernote and share them through our beautiful Skitch sharing interface.

Sharing with Evernote

Ever since we launched Skitch for Android and Skitch for iPad with Evernote sharing, you’ve asked us to bring it to Mac. Well, here it is.

There are a couple of ways to set up Evernote sharing.

Click on the new Evernote elephant icon along the top of the app
Go into Settings and choose Evernote from the sharing options

Once you have it set, all of your images will go straight to Evernote. We recommend setting Evernote as your default sharing option.

Access everywhere
Now that Skitch for Mac can save images to Evernote, all of the photos, screenshots, maps and mockups you choose will be available on any of your devices. So, wherever you are, you can always access the images you sent to Evernote.

A look to the future

Easy sharing to Evernote is one of the big Skitch user requests. The other big request has been to simplify and clean up the Skitch.com site. Rather than rebuild Skitch.com, we wanted to create a great image sharing experience for all Evernote users. So, we did. It’s completely clutter-free and perfectly highlights the image. Plus, now you can see your Skitch images right inside of Evernote.

What this means for Skitch.com users
If you’ve been using Skitch.com, then today you’ve gained a new sharing option, but otherwise things are unchanged. In the near future, we will transition away from Skitch.com sharing in favor of Evernote sharing. This transition will allow all Skitch users to experience the many benefits of Evernote.

We will continue to support existing Skitch.com content, so all of your images (and related links) will continue to be available. We’re also working on an export tool, which will allow you to easily download all of your old Skitch images and then save them to Evernote, if you like. That’s coming soon.

We’re very excited about this change. Moving to Evernote means that Skitch for Mac maintains all of its fun, easy sharing features, while gaining cross-platform sync, a much-improved shared view and a significant reliability upgrade.

Like some of the above comments, I am not offered version 1.08 via in-app update. I’m at 1.07.

For the Mac edition of Skitch, can you please support PNG sharing to Evernote?

PNG files are getting renamed as “…png.jpg” and are JPEG compressed. This doesn’t look good for screen capture imagery as it’s no longer crisp and accurate on colour. The link pasted in your clipboard should be that of the image, not a page with the image (as done with Skitch.com sharing as an option).

I look forward to some old bugs being solved as well… if for example you Export to a file and select a file to replace, it doesn’t replace it. It creates a new file with a doubled-up file extension (e.g. myskitch.png.png). Also, simply adding a shadow to an existing skitch doesn’t work well as the space added to the capture isn’t enough to show the entire shadow!

Overall I love the product but I hope things start to move faster. It hasn’t changed in ages beyond this update to include non-PNG sharing to Evernote.

I have been a very satisfied Skitch user since 2007. I hope you will not eliminate Skitch.com image sharing. But if these plans are set in stone and user input will not change your mind about eliminating the service, then PLEASE give Skitch.com users fair warning so that we can move our images to another host. Several of my Skitch.com images have been blogged and I don’t want them to disappear online if Skitch.com goes away. Skitch.com and Evernote (which I also now use) are both great services; they each have their own unique uses but they are not interchangeable. I’m really grateful to Evernote for saving Skitch, but Skitch won’t serve the same functions for me without continued access to Skitch.com.

I too have tried evernote and find it confusing so I would like to see more sharing options like Dropbox

I’ll update when it’s available for down OUTSIDE the App Store

I also think marrying Skitch and Evernote. I use both apps, but for different purposes. Please don’t loose track of what made Skitch great up until recently. Please reconsider what you are doing here.

Sorry, I meant to say:

I also think marrying Skitch and Evernote is a bad idea. I use both apps, but for different purposes. Please don’t lose track of what made Skitch great up until recently. Please reconsider what you are doing hee.

I Like the Skitch integration with Evernote. One question I have is how does one use Skitch with existing Evernote notes? I can right click on a note and use with Skitch, make my changes but then it saves it back to Evernote as a new note. Am i missing something? How does one make changes to a note with Skitch but not have it save to a new note but rather update the existing one.

My only gripe is as a person who paid for 2 years premium Skitch shortly before Evernote acquired and made it completely free… Evernote seemed to have forgotten about those “old school” folks as the app terms us and could have rolled the subscription into a paid Evernote account.

Can you guys do a quick thing for me? In Skitch.. can you make it so the ‘ENTER’ key actually ends the typing function? Right now if you hit return it goes to the next line, but enter is typically used to close the function of the (in this case) text box. Thanks!
