★ FAST ★ PRECISE ★ MODERN ★ POWERFUL

Built for the way you actually capture.

Every feature earned its spot by surviving a year of daily use. No dialogs, no settings tax, no chrome you have to dismiss.

🗂️

Photoshop-style layers

Every annotation lives on a named drawing layer you can reorder, hide, lock, or rename. Compose multiple snips on one auto-expanding canvas — the dropdown, the dialog underneath, the tooltip — each as its own draggable image layer.

💼

Layered save formats

Save as .ora (OpenRaster), .psd (Photoshop), or .snip (SnipePict project). Open them right back in SnipePict, or hand them off to Photoshop, Affinity, Photopea, Krita, or GIMP.

Global hotkey

Configurable shortcut snaps a region from anywhere — even when SnipePict is hiding in the tray.

🖥️

Multi-monitor + High-DPI

PerMonitorV2 DPI aware. Correct pixels on 125 %, 150 %, 4 K, and secondary monitors with negative offsets.

✏️

Full markup kit

Pen, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, smudge, pixelate, numbered markers — switch in one click.

🔍

Zoom & crop

Ctrl + wheel zooms for precision. The crop tool trims the bitmap and re-anchors annotations — fully undoable.

Full undo / redo

Stack covers strokes, text, markers, blur, pixelate, crop, and every layer operation. Mistakes are cheap.

💾

Smart naming

Save patterns with {date}, {time}, {counter}, and {app} tokens. Overwrite-safe.

🎨

Modern Fluent UI

Windows 11 Mica backdrop, system accent color, sharp vector icons, and any installed font in the text tool.

A markup kit, not a menu maze.

Every annotation lands on its own drawing layer, so you can reorder, hide, or relocate any callout without losing the rest. Your saved PNG keeps full resolution no matter how far you've zoomed in to land an arrow.

  • Move — drag and drop existing annotations
  • Pen / Line / Arrow — color & width slider
  • Rectangle / Ellipse — outline shapes with adjustable stroke
  • Text — any installed font, 8–72 pt, bold / italic / underline
  • Smudge / Pixelate — censor faces, names, secrets
  • Number — auto-incrementing markers; scroll wheel to resize
  • Crop — drag handles, Enter to apply, fully undoable
  • Layers — eye, padlock, thumbnail, rename, reorder; + Add Capture grows the canvas
  • Paste — Ctrl+V drops a clipboard image as a new layer, or text onto the active layer
