Record your Second Life experiences with snapshots that you can post to your profile feed, email to friends, or save to your inventory or computer.

KBnote.png Note: You may need to get permission to take snapshots on land you don't own. See the Second Life Snapshot and machinima policy.

The window shows a preview of the snapshot with the file dimensions and size. Click to take a new snapshot and refresh the preview.

Click:

  • Post to My Profile Feed to post the snapshot to your activity feed.
  • Email to email your snapshot. The maximum size for sending a snapshot via email is one megabyte (1 MB); if your snapshot exceeds that, lower Image quality and click .
  • Save to My Inventory (L$10) to upload your snapshot to your inventory. Upload fee is ten Linden dollars.
    NOTE: Images saved to inventory are limited to 512 x 512 pixels maximum; if larger, they will be resized when you upload.
  • Save to my computer to save your snapshot to your local hard drive.

For any of these, click Snapshot Advanced Options.jpg to display advanced options.
