What working on a screenshot looks like

What you get for free

01

Scrolling capture

Greenshot captures a region, a window or the screen; a long page has to be stitched by hand. Here the page scrolls itself into one tall image, in Chrome and in any desktop window.

02

Free on Mac

Greenshot for Mac is a paid, rarely updated app. Here the macOS app is free and has the same editor and hotkeys as Windows.

03

A link with a view counter

Greenshot uploads through a plugin to a public image host. Here Upload gives a short link in the clipboard and the page shows how many times it was opened.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free app like Greenshot?
Yes, this one: a Chrome extension plus Windows and macOS apps. Area, window and scrolling full-page capture, arrows, blur, step numbering and a share link with a view counter, free and with no account.
Is it free like Greenshot?
Yes. Capture, editor, clipboard, file and share link are free. There are no paid plans, on Mac either.
Does it have Greenshot's annotation tools?
Arrows, boxes, lines, text, highlights, step numbers and blur are all here. The editor opens right after the capture.
Can it capture a scrolling web page?
Yes. Greenshot's scrolling capture only ever worked in Internet Explorer; here it works in Chrome and in any scrolling window on the desktop.
Is there a version for Mac?
Yes, a free macOS app. Greenshot for Mac is a paid App Store title with an old feature set.
Do I need an account?
No. Capture, edit, save and upload without an account, just like Greenshot.
Can I keep both installed?
Yes. They are separate apps with different hotkeys and do not interfere with each other.
