Greenshot for Windows

Need to capture a window, mark a detail, and send the image along? Greenshot puts screen capture, annotation, and export options into one workflow, with region, window, and full-screen capture modes.

Choose a region, window, or full screen

Greenshot runs in the background and can be opened from its notification-area icon or with a configured keyboard shortcut. The Print key can start a capture, and the tray menu provides the available capture choices.

Region capture lets you drag out the part of the display to include. Window capture targets a window, while full-screen capture takes the entire screen. Greenshot can also capture complete scrolling web pages in Internet Explorer.

Mark up the capture in the image editor

After capturing, send the image to Greenshot’s editor to add text, draw shapes, highlight an area, or obscure sensitive content. The editor also provides cropping and enlargement tools, along with options to add graphics and reuse drawn elements.

Several editor windows can remain open at once, so separate screenshots can be annotated without closing each image before moving to the next.

Send screenshots to their next destination

Export options include saving to a file, copying to the clipboard, printing, attaching the image to an email, or sending it to Office programs. Greenshot also supports uploads to photo-sharing services.

Capture, output, printer, and general options are grouped in the settings dialog. This lets users adjust the capture and export workflow to suit how they handle screenshots.

Can Greenshot capture only part of the screen?

Yes. Region capture lets you select an area; Greenshot can also capture a window or the full screen.

How can I hide sensitive details in a screenshot?

Open the capture in the image editor and use its obfuscation tool on the relevant area.

Where can I send a Greenshot capture?

You can save it, print it, copy it to the clipboard, attach it to an email, send it to Office programs, or upload it to a photo-sharing service.
