CaptureIt

How it works

Up and running in under a minute.

No account, no setup wizard, no nonsense. Just install and start capturing.

Download & install

Run the installer. Takes about 15 seconds. No admin rights required.

Capture anything

Use the toolbar or hit a global hotkey from any app. Region, fullscreen, or window. Your call.

Copy or save

One click copies to clipboard or saves to disk. History keeps the last 50 captures automatically.

Features

Built for the way you
actually work.

No tutorial required. Open it, capture something, move on with your day.

Region capture

A full-screen crosshair overlay with edge-to-edge guide lines follows your cursor before you click. Draw any rectangle. Pixel-perfect every time.

Fullscreen capture

Grab your entire display in one keystroke. Multi-monitor aware. Captures exactly the screen you choose.

Window capture

Click any open window to capture it cleanly. No manual sizing. No cropping. Just the window.

Persistent history

The last 50 captures are saved automatically and survive restarts. Edited versions are stored separately. Your original is always preserved.

Global hotkeys

Capture without switching windows. Default shortcuts work from anywhere. Every hotkey is fully reassignable, including PrintScreen.

Instant clipboard

One click copies any capture. Or turn on Auto-Copy and it happens the moment you capture. Paste straight into Slack, email, Jira, anywhere.

Annotation and edit mode

Mark up captures without opening another app. Draw boxes, add highlights, move and resize shapes, undo any step. Edited and original versions are both kept.

Dark mode

Full dark theme built in. Toggle it in the sidebar. Your preference is remembered across sessions.
