What working on a screenshot looks like

What you get for free

01

Free, no account

Capture, editor, clipboard, file and link are available right after install. No plans, no cap on the number of screenshots, no account to get a link.

02

The whole page, not just the screen

Lightshot grabs only the area you select. Here the page scrolls itself and is stitched into one tall capture, and a single window is captured with one keystroke.

03

Blur, numbering, view counter

Lightshot's editor has lines, arrows and text, but nothing to hide an email or a card number. Here you get blur and step numbering, and the link shows how many times the capture was opened.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free app like Lightshot?
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 really free?
Yes. Capture, editor, copy to clipboard, save to disk and the share link are free. There are no paid plans.
Do I need an account?
No. You can capture, edit, save and upload without an account, just like in Lightshot.
Is anything free in Lightshot but not here?
No. Everything Lightshot does is free here too: area capture, arrows, text, file, clipboard and link.
Does it work on Mac, Windows and in Chrome?
Yes: an extension for Chrome, plus macOS and Windows apps with the same editor and hotkeys.
Can I keep using both?
Yes. They are separate apps with different hotkeys and do not interfere with each other.
What happens to my Lightshot screenshots?
Nothing: they stay on prnt.sc as they are. There is nothing to migrate, you simply take new captures here.
