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.

Said about Snipaste as an alternative

SeanDFroszt It provides many of the same options and functionality, is lightweight, user-friendly (which is sadly rare nowadays - you get either Kindergarten-level UI or one that resembles the cockpit of a B1 Stealth Bomber) and finally has certain features that even ShareX, my favorite screenshot application, lacks! Summarily, I'd say it's on average 75% feature-compatible with ShareX, Greenshot and similar programs.
