rng-snap screenshots in one key.

A free, open-source screenshot and screen recording tool for Windows. One small exe, no installer, no runtime.

rng-snap

Press Scroll Lock and the screen freezes

Every monitor stops, so menus and tooltips stay put. Drag a frame, or just click the thing under the cursor: rng-snap already knows where the button, the panel and the window end.

Smart regions

Hover snaps to buttons, panels, rows and windows, inside Chrome, Edge, VS Code, Slack and Discord too. Games and canvas apps get pixel boxes.

The wheel picks the level

Scroll up and the frame grows from the element to its panel, the window, the whole monitor.

Loupe with pixel color

Coordinates, frame size and the color under the cursor. Press C to copy the hex.

Mark it up before you let go

Hold Ctrl when you release the frame and the tools appear right on the frozen screen. Need more? The editor is one click away.

Quick marks on a frozen screen: numbered circles, a red box and an arrow, with the toolbar under the frame — Quick marks on the frozen screen

The rng-snap editor window with drawing tools, colors and a marked-up screenshot — The full editor

Everything a screenshot tool should do

Without the subscription.
