Windshot

Screenshots, sharpened.

Windshot captures any part of your screen in a keystroke, then opens an editor where every arrow, box and blur stays editable until you're done.

Everything a screenshot needs

Small, fast and keyboard-friendly. It lives in the tray until you need it.

Capture in a keystroke

Drag a region, or click a window to capture it with its rounded corners intact. A magnifier and color picker help you land on the exact pixel.

Annotations that stay editable

Arrows, boxes, text, numbered steps, highlighter, spotlight and blur. Move, resize or restyle any of them at any time, and the canvas grows when you draw past the edge.

Layers

Restack, hide, rename and fade annotations like in a photo editor. Blur and spotlight work like adjustment layers on everything beneath them.

Scrolling capture

Capture a whole web page or long document. Scroll it yourself or let auto-scroll do it, and Windshot stitches the frames into one tall image.

Copy text from anything

Select part of the screen and copy the words in it, using Windows' built-in text recognition. It works offline, on your PC.

Pin it on screen

Float a capture above your other windows while you work. Zoom it, fade it, and find it right where you left it after a restart.

Beautify

Set a capture on a gradient backdrop with rounded corners and a soft shadow, ready to share.

Crop and redact

Tighten the frame after the fact, and pixelate anything private before it leaves your hands.

Fluent design, Mica, light and dark mode, and crisp at any display scale.
