WinSnap

Superb Screenshot Software!

WinSnap
Media

Honestly, we can't figure out why Microsoft isn't beating down NTWind's door for the rights to include WinSnap in their next Windows update.

After all, WinSnap is so much better -- SO MUCH BETTER -- than the Windows "PrntScrn" utility that we hardly even feel comfortable mentioning them in the same paragraph!

It's tiny size (132kb tiny!) belies it's power and functionality. Standard features let you easily capture non-rectangular windows with customized and transparent backgrounds, apply simple and automatic canvas transformations, add coloring effects and create slick, professional-looking drop shadows. WinSnap supports a variety of image formats and has advanced auto-save features.

In a word...

...Awesome!


Version Alert! Since we last promoted WinSnap, it has moved into version 3.1. The new version adds extensive support for the Windows 7 Taskbar and much more:

  • Expanded Support for Windows Vista UI:. WinSnap can handle all possible issues with translucent window frames and rounded corners.
  • Vista Drop Shadow Support: Add a drop shadow effect that is very similar to the Aero theme.
  • Alpha-Channel and PNG transparency support: Now shadows are semi-transparent! This function allows very easy image compositing, and is particularly useful when placing screenshots on multi-color backgrounds.
  • Multi-Object capture mode: Simultaneously select and capture multiple objects (e.g. windows, dialogs, buttons and controls). Several windows can be placed on the screen and easily combined into one screenshot image!
  • Support For WindowBlinds 6 Visual Styles: Configure WinSnap to work with any custom visual styles including modern WindowBlinds 6 skins with rounded corners and per-pixel transparency.
Written by Roger Thomasson

Key Features:

  • Capture non-rectangular shapes and rounded corners.
  • Capture transparent windows and add real drop shadow effects on-the-fly.
  • Enumerate and capture all visible windows in the foreground application and combine them into a single screenshot. Void space between separate windows can be automatically filled with the background of your choice.
  • Define a portion of the screen to capture.
  • Quickly add signature watermarks to the captured snapshots.
  • Easily create screenshot thumbnails.
  • Automatically resize images to user specifications.
  • Easily capture complex, multi-level application pulldown menus.




Take a look at some of the complex windows configurations that WinSnap can capture (not to mention the drop shadows!):

Real Users Say:

  • “WinSnap is one of the first-to-install utilities on any new machines. It seems that no matter what I build the computer for, I end up needing or wanting to take screenshots.

    What's more – it works seamlessly with Word 2007 for blogging: I can take great screenshots and then add slick affects to them in about 5 seconds...

    It's also great for emailing screenshots to friends and co-workers. Since WinSnap saves images to the clipboard as PNGs (by default), image size is significantly reduced when pasting images into emails.

    Just about my only complaint… when I tried to take a screenshot of WinSnap itself – it kept getting out of the way!

    ...WinSnap is worth every cent.”- Colin Neller, www.colinneller.com

    Everything from NTWind gets my recommendation, the developer knows his stuff. WinSnap is simple but can capture things which other capture tools mess up on Vista and higher. It has some effects. For annotation, I recommend the free FastStone Image Viewer (Edit, Draw Board), it supports PNG transparency. You can also load the image back into WinSnap to add effects like reflection after annotation.

    Yes, it comes with lifetime updates + you can install any edition you want to use (32-bit, 64-bit, portable).

    Visitor Bob S (Visitor) Says:

    This is a very nice tool, with a number of useful features. I plan to buy, but am concerned about one of the features.

    I had selected "contour" and then deselected - unfortunately, when selecting a region the object shown in the display window has "rounded corners," which makes it very difficult to precisely locate the cross-hairs on the corners of the object. This doesn't seem to be correct, so I wonder how I get back to "square" regions showing, as opposed to the contour.

    NTWind Software Developer Alexander Avdonin (NTWind Software Developer) Says:

    @Bob
    1) start the Region capture mode
    2) right-click the screen to open the context menu
    3) select "Rectangle" from the menu (it is the default region shape)
