The differentiator
The feature you'll miss in every other screenshot tool.
Ghost Tray keeps your latest captures floating over your work, ready to drag straight into the app you're already using, with no saving, no file picker, and no break in focus.
Capture → drag → drop, anywhere
Screenshot ready
Drag me anywhere
Built for real screenshot work.
Fast capture, cleaner sharing, and less friction between idea and delivery.
Ghost Tray Workflow
Keep your latest screenshots floating over your work and drag them straight into Discord, Slack, Teams, email, Figma, or Explorer. It docks on the left or right, auto-hides with a discoverable handle when you need the space, and drops cleanly into chat, mail, and docs apps. Free includes 2 floating slots; Pro expands it to 5 for faster sharing without breaking focus.
Blur and Annotate
Redact sensitive details with manual blur, add arrows, text, and shapes, then export a clean finished image. Pro adds instant one-click blur and inverse blur.
Fast Region Capture
Grab exactly what you need in seconds, even across multiple monitors and mixed DPI setups. The capture is on your clipboard instantly, ready to paste.
Window Capture
Click a window and keep moving. Snipper captures it cleanly without the usual desktop clutter.
Multi-Monitor Ready
Snipper stays reliable across ultrawide, portrait, and mixed-monitor desk setups.
Live Capture Mode (Pro)
Use the transparent live overlay when you need to capture video frames or moving UI without freezing the screen.
Snipper vs the Windows Snipping Tool
Everything you already use, plus the workflow the built-in tool never had.

Privacy first
Your screenshots never leave your device.
Snipper is local-first by design. The app only connects to the internet to verify a Pro licence key, never to move your captures.
✓No cloud storage
Captures and edits are saved on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
✓No screenshot uploads
Your images never leave your device unless you choose to share them yourself.
✓No AI processing
We never send your captures to any AI or third-party service for analysis.
✓No content tracking
We do not read, scan, or track the contents of anything you capture.
Built for people who work with screenshots every day.

Download Snipper for Windows
Install Snipper once and start with Free. There is no separate Pro installer; Pro unlocks inside the same Windows app after you activate a license key.
- Instant capture and clipboard-first sharing so fresh screenshots are ready to paste with Ctrl+V
- Manual blur, drag-and-drop export, and lightweight annotation tools in the Free app from the first launch
- Same Windows installer for both tiers, with Pro unlocking inside the app when you are ready
- Higher tray limits, live capture, one-click blur, and inverse blur when you upgrade to Pro
After install, open Settings to configure your capture hotkey. New installs default to Ctrl+Shift+4, and you can change it anytime to whatever fits your workflow.

Verified signed installer
Snipper is signed with a verified OV code-signing certificate issued by Certum to Aruna Aasirvatham. Free and Pro both use this same signed installer. SmartScreen can still warn on a very new download while Windows reputation catches up.
One installer. Two paths.
Start with Free
Download the installer, launch Snipper, and capture immediately. No account is required.
Unlock Pro later
Buy Pro when you need extra capacity or faster redaction tools, then paste your key inside the app to unlock it.
Download starts from this site. Buy Pro only when you want the extra capture and workflow tools. Both editions use the same installer, activation happens inside the app, and unedited captures are ready to paste immediately.
Caution on very new builds
Chrome, Edge, Explorer, or SmartScreen may still warn on a very new build until download reputation catches up. Snipper is certified and code-signed; if prompted, use Keep or Keep anyway, then More info and Run anyway if Windows asks again. Installation guide →
