+# Screenshot Capture Backend in FastAPI
+
+Do you find sometimes the need to share screenshots with friends? This project
+might be for you. You might also want to check the Chrome plugin in
+[this repo](https://github.com/sebasutp/screenshot-capture) to capture
+screenshots from Chrome and add them to the backend.
+
+## Want to test this project locally project?
+
+1. Fork/Clone
+
+1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
+
+    ```sh
