If you use Windows daily, chances are you rely on screenshots more than you realize. Microsoft’s built-in Snipping Tool works in a pinch, but when you need speed, polish, and flexibility, it starts to fall short.
That’s why I built Snipper — a lightweight screenshot app for Windows designed for developers, creators, and anyone who wants more control over their captures.

Snipper is a lean Windows Snipping Tool alternative whose focus is to take screenshots fast and make them look 10X more beautiful. All that in seconds!
Below is a quick list of features that make Snipper a better alternative to any Windows screenshot tool out there currently.
- Simple, fast UI → no clutter, no distractions.
- Customizable backgrounds & padding → make screenshots presentation-ready in seconds.
- Watermark support → add your brand or name without extra editing tools.
- *Lightweight build *→ unlike many third-party tools, Snipper won’t hog your system resources.
🔍 Who is Snipper for?
Snipper fits perfectly in the workflow of different types of content creators, testing and QA people, managers, among many others. Here's a quick list of people who appreciate beautiful (and faster) screenshots to 10X their work and productivity.
