Screenshots that look right on HDR monitors — with a fast, modern markup editor.
With HDR enabled, Windows' built-in Snipping Tool captures the raw framebuffer, so screenshots of normal (SDR) content come out washed out and blown out. Pixnip captures in FP16 via Windows.Graphics.Capture and tone-maps against each monitor's actual SDR white level, so captures look exactly like your screen.
- HDR-correct capture — per-monitor tone mapping; SDR content stays true, HDR highlights compress gracefully
- PrintScreen region picker with window snap (or a Ctrl+Alt+S hotkey if you'd rather keep Windows' default)
- Markup editor — pen, neon, highlighter, arrows, shapes, text with background pills, blur/redact, step badges, crop
- Direct manipulation — tap anything to select, drag to move, grip to resize, tap a swatch to recolor
- Drag out — pull the annotated shot straight into Slack, a browser upload box, or Explorer
- Tray app — auto-saves to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pixnip\Screenshots(one click away via the tray) and copies to the clipboard
