PrtScnand the whole screen freezes
Capture, annotate and share without leaving the screen
You press a key, the screen freezes and everything happens inside a minimal overlay: you pick what to capture, annotate it, copy it or save it. When you are done, Vixnap disappears.

Annotate
Annotate right away, without opening any editor
Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, pen, text, highlighter, pixelate and step numbers. All on the same floating bar, over the capture, with colour and thickness one click away.
It edits the way you expect
Select any annotation with a click and adjust it by its handles, move it, or delete it with Del.
Double-click a text to rewrite it; change its colour and thickness from the same bar.
Real undo and redo: one gesture, one step. Ctrl+Z never gets stuck.
Confirm
Copy or save, and Vixnap disappears
Confirming means disappearing immediately. The slow work, encoding the image and writing it to disk, happens with the overlay already hidden. You are already pasting.
A single colour on the bar: the exit action. There is never any doubt about what Enter does.
A toast with a thumbnail confirms where the capture went. Click to open it.
Copy in three formats
PNG, DIB and file path at once, so it pastes properly into chat, email or your design tool.
Clipboard-safe
Vixnap never leaves the clipboard locked, which is the reason it exists. It opens it, writes, and releases it by construction.
Save
To your captures folder with a date-and-time name. Configurable in Settings.
A secondary action of your choice
Save as, copy and save, or open the folder. You decide what the second button does.
Why Vixnap
Built so you never notice it
A tool that shows up when you call it and leaves when it is done.
Instant
The overlay is already created before you press the key. It appears in under 200 ms.
Real multi-monitor
One overlay per screen, each at its own scale. A laptop at 150% and a monitor at 100% with nothing out of place.
Lives in the tray
No main window. An icon in the Windows tray or the macOS menu bar: click to capture, menu for settings and quit.
Liquid Glass
The floating bar is glass: it reacts under the cursor and does not cover what you are capturing.
Shortcuts
Your hands never leave the keyboard
Everything the bar does has a key. The whole screen goes straight to the clipboard with Ctrl+PrtScn, no overlay and no questions.
The main shortcut is changed in Settings. If Windows has PrtScn reserved, Vixnap detects it and tells you where to free it.
On macOS, ⌘ takes the place of Ctrl and ⌫ that of Del. The capture shortcut is chosen in Settings.
| PrtScn | Freeze the screen and open the overlay |
| Ctrl+PrtScn | Full screen straight to the clipboard |
| Enter | Confirm with the main action (copy) |
| Ctrl+S | Save to the captures folder |
| Ctrl+Shift+S | Save as… |
| ←+↑+→+↓ | Adjust the selection pixel by pixel |
| Ctrl+Z | Undo the last annotation |
| Del | Delete the selected annotation |
| Esc | Cancel and disappear |

What’s new and earlier versions FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask before installing.
1. Is it free?
Yes. Vixnap downloads and installs with no account and no payment. There is no Pro version hiding behind the features you see here.
2. On Windows I press PrtScn and nothing happens
Windows 11 reserves that key for its Snipping Tool, and intercepts it before it reaches any application. Vixnap detects this and notes it in Settings.
To free it: Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → turn off “Use the Print screen key to open screen capture”. Vixnap does not touch that option for you: it is your accessibility setting.
3. And on macOS?
The first time, macOS will ask for Screen Recording permission for Vixnap in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Without it the capture comes out black. Vixnap lives in the menu bar, and the shortcut is chosen in Settings so it does not clash with the system Screenshot ones.
4. Where are captures saved?
By default in your Pictures folder, inside “Vixnap”, named with the date and time. The folder and the name pattern are changed in Settings.
5. Does it work with several monitors at different scales?
Yes. Each monitor has its own overlay at its real scale, and a selection can cross from one screen to another. The final crop is made from the complete desktop, so it comes out pixel-perfect even with one monitor at 150% and another at 100%.
6. Why do you say it never locks the clipboard?
Because that is the reason it exists. The Windows Snipping Tool sometimes hangs with the clipboard open and leaves the whole system unable to copy. Vixnap opens the clipboard, writes the three formats and always releases it, including when something fails halfway.
7. Does it collect data or need a connection?
No. Vixnap sends nothing anywhere. It only connects if you enable automatic updates, and only to check whether there is a new version.
