Free Screenshot Tool for Windows

ZunShot captures any part of your screen in one keystroke: a region, a window, the full screen or a whole scrolling page. Captures are saved without a watermark, and text inside an image can be extracted as text. Free for Windows 10 and 11.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Installs from the Microsoft Store in seconds.

What is free, without limits:
  • Region, window, full screen, scrolling, web page and burst capture
  • Copy to clipboard, save as PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF, print, upload
  • Extract text (OCR) from any capture, on your PC
  • Instant capture hotkeys, pin to screen, 18 languages
The screenshot editor is included too. Edited images carry a small ZunShot watermark unless you have ZunShot Pro.

A screenshot tool that goes further than the Print Screen key

The Windows Snipping Tool covers the basics. ZunShot adds the things you reach for next: scrolling screenshots of long pages, capture of a single Windows 11 window with clean, transparent rounded corners instead of leftover desktop pixels, a frame that stays in place so every shot has the same size, text extraction from any image, and a pin-to-screen window for keeping a reference on top while you work. Everything runs locally on your PC.

Take screenshots on Windows for free

Freeze the screen and snip exactly what you need

Press Scroll Lock or Alt+PrtScn. The screen freezes with menus and tooltips exactly as they were, you drag the area, and a compact toolbar lets you copy, save, annotate or pin the capture without opening the main window.

Capture a whole scrolling page as one image

Chat histories, long articles, spreadsheets and settings pages rarely fit on one screen. Scroll capture stitches the whole thing into a single tall image. Let ZunShot scroll automatically or turn the wheel yourself.

Capture a window with clean, transparent rounded corners

Windows 11 windows have rounded corners, and most screenshot tools capture the rectangle around them, so bits of wallpaper are left in all four corners. Point at a window or a control and ZunShot captures only that object and makes the corners transparent, ready to drop onto a slide, a document or a web page. In Capture mode the frame stays where you left it, so a series of screenshots comes out the same size every time.

Extract text from any screenshot

Select the text area and copy it as editable text. Recognition uses the OCR engine built into Windows, so nothing leaves your PC. Optional image translation draws the translated text over the original.

Pin a capture on top of every window

Keep a reference image floating above your work: a code snippet, a chart, a design you are copying from. Move it to any monitor, resize it, copy or save it from its own menu.

Capture automatically on a timer

Burst capture takes a screenshot every few seconds while you present, test or watch a dashboard. Skip frames when nothing changed, auto-delete old files, and stop with a hotkey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ZunShot really free?

Yes. Every capture feature listed on this page is free, with no time limit and no watermark on captures. ZunShot Pro is an optional subscription that removes the watermark from images you edit in the built-in editor.

Does the free version add a watermark?

Not to captures. Copy, save, print and upload your screenshots exactly as taken. Only images edited with the drawing and blur tools are saved with a small ZunShot mark in the free version.

How do I take a scrolling screenshot on Windows?

Choose Scroll on the Capture tab, click inside the page that scrolls, then click Auto scroll or turn the mouse wheel. Click Done and the stitched image opens in the editor. Step-by-step guide.

Why do my window screenshots have bits of wallpaper in the corners?

Windows 11 windows have rounded corners, but most tools capture the rectangle around the window, so the desktop shows in the corners. ZunShot window capture makes those corners transparent. Save as PNG or WebP to keep the transparency. Capture a window.

Can I copy text from a screenshot?
