xsnip

Lightweight screenshot and annotation tool

Description

Taking one screenshot should not require a heavyweight suite that sits in memory all day. xsnip is under 1 MB and runs straight after unzipping: press Alt+X, the screen freezes, then select, annotate and save.

The cursor snaps to windows as it passes over them, and turning on UI detection lets you box a single button or input field inside a window. Press Ctrl+C to paste into a chat, or hold Shift while saving to drop the file in a preset folder.

Features



Scrolling capture:scroll through a page or document and get one long image.

GIF recording:record a short action as an animation, faster than explaining it in text.

Pin to screen:keep a capture floating on top while you work from it.

Multiple formats:save as PNG, WebP or PDF, plus its own editable format.

Portable and ad-free:no install, no background service, with 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
