ScreenSnap
One click, or Alt+C, and your whole screen is on the clipboard.
Download for Windows · v0.2.0
Windows 10 / 11 · one .exe file, nothing to install · unsigned
Get started
- Download ScreenSnap.exe and double-click it. Keep it somewhere permanent, for example
Documents. - If Windows says Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway. ScreenSnap is not code-signed, so Windows asks the first time.
- The lens appears near the top-right of your screen.
Use it
- Click the lens or press Alt+C in any app. Every monitor is captured and the image goes on your clipboard. Paste it with Ctrl+V.
- The lens hides during the capture, so it never appears in your screenshots. A white flash and a green check mean the image is ready; red means the capture failed.
- Clicking the lens does not take focus from the app you are using, so you can paste straight away.
- Drag the lens to move it. Right-click it for Take screenshot, Start with Windows or Exit.
Nothing is saved to disk or sent anywhere: the screenshot only goes to your clipboard. It includes everything visible on your screen, so check what is showing before you paste it somewhere.
Start it with Windows
Right-click the lens and choose Start with Windows. Choose it again to turn it off.
Common problems
- My PC will not run ScreenSnap.exe: some work PCs only allow approved programs. Use the script version (v0.1.0 ZIP) instead: before extracting it, right-click the ZIP, choose Properties, tick Unblock and click OK. Then extract it and double-click ScreenSnap.vbs. If VBScript is blocked too, start it with:
powershell -NoProfile -STA -WindowStyle Hidden -File "C:\path\to\ScreenSnap.ps1" - Alt+C does nothing: another app already uses Alt+C, and the ALT+C label on the lens is hidden. Clicking still works. While ScreenSnap runs, Alt+C belongs to it in every app; exit ScreenSnap to give it back.
- Opening it again does nothing: only one copy runs at a time. Look for the lens on screen; it may be behind a notification.
