Screenshot tool
Working in development buildsPress a shortcut, drag over the part of the screen you need, and keep working. The capture is frozen so what you select is exactly what you get.
Screen capture software
Capture Your Screen. Annotate It. Explain Anything.
Take a screenshot of any area, point at what matters with arrows, text and numbered markers, hide sensitive details, then copy or save the result. Screen recording and share links are on the way.
Built for tutorials, bug reports, feedback, and everyday work.

Save, copy and share
In developmentCopy to the clipboard or save as PNG or JPEG today. Share links need a server that is still in development, so nothing is uploaded by current builds.
How it works
From screen to explanation in three steps
Step 1: Capture
Press Print Screen (or a shortcut you choose) and drag over the area you need.
Step 2: Annotate
Add arrows, boxes, text and numbered markers, or hide private details with blur, pixelate or solid redaction.
Step 3: Copy or save
Copy the finished image to the clipboard or save it as PNG or JPEG. Share links will join later.
The editor
Annotate right where you capture
The toolbar appears next to your selection, so there is no separate editor to open. Resize or move the selection at any time.

Use cases
Made for people who explain things on screen
Software developers
Document a bug with an arrow and a box instead of a paragraph of description.
Customer support
Mark the exact button or setting a customer needs to find.
Designers
Point at spacing, alignment or color and number your feedback.
Educators
Build step-by-step handouts with numbered markers on each screen.
Remote teams
Turn “the thing in the top right” into a clear, marked-up image.
Everyday users
Grab part of a page, mark it up and keep or copy it.
Privacy and control
Your screenshots stay on your computer
Current QuickSnap builds contain no upload code, so a capture goes nowhere unless you save or copy it yourself.
You choose where files go
Save opens a normal file dialog and asks before overwriting. Instant save writes to a QuickSnap folder inside Pictures and never replaces an existing file.
Nothing is sent automatically
When sharing arrives, uploading will only happen when you ask for it. The current builds send no screenshots, annotation text or clipboard contents anywhere.
Hide sensitive details properly
Blur and pixelate are visual effects and may not fully hide small text. Use solid redaction to cover information permanently, and check the result before you share it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is QuickSnap?
QuickSnap is a desktop screen capture and screenshot annotation tool. You select an area of your screen, mark it up, and copy or save it. It is in development, and the website says plainly which parts work today.
How do I take a screenshot on my computer?
With QuickSnap, press Print Screen (you can change the shortcut), then drag over the area you want. On Windows you can also use the built-in Win + Shift + S shortcut. If another program already uses Print Screen, QuickSnap shows an options window where you can pick a different key.
What is a screen recorder?
A screen recorder saves a video of what happens on your screen, which is useful for tutorials and bug reports. QuickSnap does not record video yet; it is planned.
Can I annotate screenshots?
Yes. Current builds include pen, highlighter, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, numbered markers, blur, pixelate and solid redaction, with undo and redo.
How do I share screenshots online?
Share links are in development and not available yet. For now you can copy the image to the clipboard or save it, then send it with any app you already use.
Can I record my screen with audio?
Not yet. Neither screen recording nor audio capture exists in QuickSnap today.
Does QuickSnap add a watermark?
No. Current builds do not add a watermark to images you copy or save.
Which operating systems does QuickSnap support?
Development builds have been tested on Windows 10 (x64) only. macOS and Linux are planned but have not been built or tested.
Where are my screenshots saved?
Only where you decide. Save asks for a location, and instant save writes to a QuickSnap folder inside your Pictures folder. Nothing is uploaded.
Is QuickSnap free?
Pricing has not been announced. This page will be updated when it is decided.
