Screenshot Utility for macOS

Capture quickly. Mark up cleanly.

Screen Snip is built for fast Mac workflows: quick capture, precise markup, flexible export, and a native interface that stays out of the way.

  • Global hotkey capture, even while the app is in the background
  • Markup tools for arrows, text, badges, blur, crop, and rotation
  • No ads, no analytics, and no network access by design

For people who take a lot of screenshots and want the job done without turning it into a mini design project.

Features

The right mix of capture, markup, gallery, and export tools.

Capture from anywhere

Use the global shortcut to start a snip even when Screen Snip is running quietly in the background.

Markup tools

Draw with pen, arrow, highlighter, rectangle, oval, badge, and text tools without making the app feel heavy.

Blur, crop, and rotate

Hide sensitive details, frame what matters, and rotate the image or placed objects when the screenshot needs cleanup.

Export control

Copy, save, or use Save As with PNG, JPG, and HEIC output plus quality controls where they make sense.

Snip Gallery

Browse your screenshots by date and reopen previous work quickly when you need to revisit a capture.

Free and open source

Screen Snip is free to use, and the full source is available publicly if you want to inspect it, build it, or contribute.

Built for real Mac setups

Multi-monitor support, Retina-aware downsampling options, trackpad zoom gestures, and Finder Open With integration.

Private by default

Your images stay on your Mac unless you choose to export or share them. The app does not use the network.

No subscriptions

No recurring fees, no upsells, and no account wall between you and the app.
