WinSnap captures screenshots in a much more sophisticated way than other tools, applies customizable effects with no effort and allows you to add comments with just a couple of clicks.

Built-in Presets for Your Convenience

You can switch between native and custom shadow effects after capture. WinSnap automatically removes native Aero shadow and adds shadow effect of your choice (color, size, direction, opacity).

Built-in presets for shadow and other effects allow even faster editing and customization.

Support for PNG Transparency and Alpha-Channel

All screenshots created with WinSnap can be saved with transparency. Empty area between windows, popup menus and other objects is filled with transparent background, while shadows and reflections are semi-transparent.
