Somewhat obvious once you start thinking about it, all the various screenshots and videos you can take on the Switch (the latter now being accessed by holding the Capture button) are easily accessible from a removed SD card.

Providing you're not reliant on the system's inbuilt memory and have told the Switch to save all your captures to an external device (System Settings> Manage Save Data/Screenshots> Manage Screenshots> Save Location), simply take the card out and put it in any appropriate reader.

It works wonders if you're looking to export a batch of screenshots for PC/Mac backgrounds or want to edit any clips together for a Youtube upload. Just stick your removed SD card into any device and the requisite images and clips will be ready and waiting.
