Screenshot

Project Overview

SnapCut is a lightweight screenshot tool primarily for Windows 10/11, named for "concise" and "straightforward." It puts region screenshot, region video recording, scrolling screenshot, annotation, OCR, pinned image, and optional translation into one compact workflow, processing locally whenever possible. A macOS menu bar preview is in the source code, currently supporting region screenshot, scrolling screenshot, global shortcuts, preview, copy, save, and screenshot history.

Key Features

• Capture menus, dropdowns, and tooltips: The hotkey freezes the current desktop frame first, preserving temporary interfaces like right-click menus, notification area menus, dropdown lists, and tooltips that easily disappear on focus loss
• Adjust and edit right after capture: Hover to auto-snap to windows, click to select, or freely drag-select; moving the selection keeps the background fixed, bright inside and dim outside; eight control points adjust the selection; placed rectangles, arrows, and text can be clicked to select and adjust; provides brush, mosaic, color, line width, undo, and redo
• Controlled scrolling screenshot: Click the ↕ icon in the toolbar after a normal selection; click the selection to scroll down at a constant pace, or double-click while waiting to scroll up first
• Region video recording: Click the camera icon after a normal selection; the frozen screenshot and mask close immediately, keeping the real desktop clickable; supports H.264/H.265, 24/30/60 FPS, system sound, microphone, mouse/keyboard display
• Floating button and multi-monitor capture: Can enable a floating button showing only the SnapCut icon
• OCR and translation: Integrated OCR text recognition and optional translation
