Fast and easy to use screenshot tool, better than ShareX or Greenshot. Can copy snips to clipboard or pin them to the screen for easy reading. Detects UI elements and adjusts accordingly.

Free for personal use. Snips only in rectangles. This currently doesn't work for me.

What is Snipaste?

Power up your efficiency with Snipaste Snipaste is a simple but powerful snipping tool, and also allows you to pin the screenshot back onto the screen. Download and open the program, then press F1 to start a screentshot, choose 'Copy to clipbroad', then press F2 to paste it as a floating window. That's it!

You can also convert text or color info in the clipboard into a floating image window. Such windows can be zoomed, rotated, made translucent, and even made click-through! If you are a programmer, a designer or whoever works much time before the computer, you will be surprised how it can help you get your work done more efficiently!

Snipaste is easy and intuitive to use, but there are also many hidden features that can make your life even more efficient.
