About

winshotx is a free and open source screenshot and screen recording tool for Windows 10 and 11,

a lightweight alternative to the built-in Snipping Tool. It captures a region over a frozen

screenshot with a 6x pixel magnifier that shows the exact colour in hex and copies it with one

key, snaps to system windows, and records that region to GIF or MP4 at 15, 30 or 60 fps through

Windows Graphics Capture. The editor trims the recording frame by frame with A and B marks,

crops the image, annotates it with arrows, boxes, text, highlights and a mosaic that hides

private details, and exports to GIF, MP4, PNG or JPG, to disk or to the clipboard.

Nothing is downloaded at runtime: MP4 is written by Media Foundation in hardware, the GIF

encoder is pure Rust and the text recognition is the one Windows already ships, so there is no

bundled FFmpeg and no OCR engine to install. It installs for the current user only, so it never

asks for administrator rights, and it lives in the system tray with no window of its own. There

is no account, no telemetry and no uploads.

The interface is in English and Spanish, following Windows.
