Greenshot is a free, open-source, lightweight screenshot tool for Windows optimized for productivity. It captures regions, windows, or full screens, supports annotation and obfuscation, and exports to files, clipboard, printer, email, Office, or photo sites.
Use cases
- take screenshots of a selected region, window, or fullscreen on windows
- annotate and highlight screenshots before sharing
- blur or obfuscate sensitive parts of a screenshot
- capture scrolling web pages
- quickly save screenshots to file or clipboard
- upload screenshots to photo hosting sites
When to choose
- you need a free, lightweight screenshot utility on Windows
- you frequently annotate or redact screenshots for documentation or bug reports
- you want configurable export destinations like clipboard, printer, or email
When to avoid
- you need a screenshot tool for Linux (use the separate Greenshot fork or alternatives)
- you need advanced image editing beyond annotation and obfuscation
- you need automated or scripted headless screen capture
