A private Lightshot alternative
Lightshot is fast and easy, but its quick-share uploads your screenshots to the cloud as public links. Snipper gives you the same fast capture with a local-first, private workflow and Ghost Tray drag-and-drop sharing.
Snipper vs Lightshot
Why switch to Snipper
Your captures stay private
Lightshot's quick share uploads your screenshot to its cloud and gives you a public link. Snipper keeps everything on your device unless you choose to share it.
Ghost Tray sharing
Drag your latest captures straight into Discord, Slack, Teams, or Figma. No upload step, no link to manage.
Built-in blur
Redact sensitive details before you share. Manual blur is free; one-click blur comes with Pro.
A focused, modern app
Fast capture, light and dark mode, a configurable global hotkey, and no account required.
Lightshot is a free, lightweight tool that is great when you want to upload and share a screenshot link instantly. Snipper is for people who want to keep captures on their own device and share them directly, without a cloud round-trip.
