Changelog

Public release notes focused on real user-facing changes, fixes, and launch-ready improvements.

v1.0.11Current public release2026-09-14

Fixed Snipper starting up under the wrong Windows account after installing on a work or shared computer. When that happened, captures were saved into an unrelated administrator folder, and dragging or pasting a capture was refused by every application including File Explorer and Teams
Snipper now checks at startup that it is running as the person signed in to the computer, and starts itself again under the right account if it is not. It no longer runs with administrator rights, which it never needed and which stops other applications accepting a dragged capture
Snipper now records the account it is running under and the folders it is using when it starts, so a problem like the one above can be identified straight away
When another application refuses a dragged capture, Snipper now records why in its log instead of failing silently

v1.0.102026-09-10

Blur, inverse blur and one-click privacy blur now apply at full strength in the exported image, matching exactly what you see on the canvas when you copy, save or drag a capture out
Blur is stronger overall, and applies reliably every time. In the rare case a blur cannot be drawn, the area is covered completely rather than left visible
Automatic copy-to-clipboard is now reliable even when another application is briefly using the clipboard, so a new capture is always ready to paste
A capture can now be pasted straight into a folder in File Explorer, named to match the capture rather than a generic name
Ghost Tray stays visible and on top of other applications, returns properly after a cancelled capture, and follows the main window between monitors
Ghost Tray thumbnails now show the whole capture, including shapes and text placed near the edges
You can drag an image into the Ghost Tray by dropping it anywhere on the tray, and the slide-out is smoother
Snipper no longer closes unexpectedly when opening an image file it cannot read
Temporary copies of captures are cleared when you exit, and removed completely when you uninstall

v1.0.92026-07-31

Fixed a multi-monitor capture issue: on setups where displays use different scaling levels (for example a 150% laptop screen next to a 100% external monitor), a region snip could grab extra area past the right and bottom edges of your selection. Snips now match exactly what you drew, on every display

v1.0.82026-06-25

Drag-and-drop into Microsoft Teams, Slack, Word, and Outlook is now reliable, with no more 'files couldn't be uploaded' errors when sharing a capture
Ghost Tray can now dock on the left or right from a quick switch in the top toolbar
Ghost Tray auto-hide is smoother and shows a discoverable handle so the tray is easy to find again
The capture crosshair is now high-contrast so it stays visible on white and light screens
Fixed the Ghost Tray spilling onto a neighbouring monitor in multi-screen setups

v1.0.72026-06-20

Ghost Tray now follows the correct monitor when the main window straddles two screens
Fixed a memory leak when drawing or moving blur annotations on large screenshots
Hotkey re-registers automatically after sleep, resume, and Windows lock/unlock
New optional 'Start with Windows' setting so the capture shortcut is always ready
Default capture hotkey changed to Ctrl+Shift+4 to avoid browser close-tab conflicts

v1.0.62026-04-28

Improved install and uninstall reliability, corrected public app links, and tightened general usability polish across the current public build.

v1.0.52026-04-28

Installer and uninstaller now both show a trusted signed publisher during install and removal
Upgrade links now consistently point to the public Snipper website
Ghost Tray footprint and upgrade prompts were polished for a cleaner launch experience

v1.0.42026-04-20

v1.0.12026-04-13

Ghost Tray now correctly follows the correct monitor on dual-screen setups after minimize and restore
Capture overlay selection rectangle redraws at full frame rate with no lag
Blur annotation resize handles now remain visible after moving an annotation
Undo history no longer freezes when switching between screenshots
Default hotkey corrected to Ctrl+W
Blur annotations are now clamped to image bounds on draw, move, and resize
