Screenshots, refined.
WinkShot is a fast, free, native screenshot app for Mac. Capture, annotate, and share beautiful screenshots — with OCR, color picking, and backgrounds worth showing off.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Annotation editor
Arrows, rectangles, text, and blur — every screenshot opens in its own editor window with full undo.
Beautiful backgrounds
Transparent padding, solid colors, gradients, your desktop wallpaper, or your own image library — with adjustable blur.
OCR to clipboard
Drag a region and the recognized text lands on your clipboard. No editor, no friction.
Color picking
Capture a pixel as a hex value from anywhere on screen, or hover the editor and press Tab to copy.
Drag export
Grab a floating thumbnail and drop it straight into Slack, Mail, Figma — anything that accepts images.
Pinned screenshots
Pin any capture as a floating window that stays on top — perfect for referencing while you work.
Scrolling capture
Capture content taller than your screen — long pages and conversations stitched into one image.
Global hotkeys
Trigger any capture from anywhere with customizable keyboard shortcuts — no need to reach for the menu bar.
Made with WinkShot.
Window captures with backgrounds — straight out of the editor.
Your next screenshot deserves better.
