Screenshots you can share without worry

Press a hotkey, drag, and annotate right where you selected. Pixshot blurs emails, card numbers and API keys in one click — and tells you who leaked a screenshot.

No accountNo telemetryText recognition stays on your PC

Pixshot capturing part of a helpdesk window, with a box, numbered steps, an arrow and a text note drawn over the selection and the toolbar right below it

Instant capture

The screen freezes the moment you press your hotkey. Hover to grab a whole window or a single control.

Annotate in place

The toolbar sits beside your selection. Boxes, arrows, steps, text and blur — no separate editor window.

Share safely

Redact sensitive details in one click, and watermark what you send so a leak can be traced.

How it works

From hotkey to a clean, safe screenshot in seconds

Every image on this page is Pixshot's own interface, captured from the app.

Select, then mark it up right there

Let go of the mouse and the toolbar is already next to your selection. Draw, then copy or save in one step.

Rectangles, arrows, pen, highlighter, text and numbered steps
Resize the selection after annotating — nothing shifts
Arrow keys nudge the selection pixel by pixel

One click hides what shouldn't be shared

Pixshot reads the text in your selection with the recognition built into Windows — offline — and covers only the sensitive values, not the labels around them.

Emails, card numbers (checksum-verified) and IP addresses
API keys and tokens: OpenAI, GitHub, AWS, Google, Slack and more
One undo brings everything back

Customer and integration cards where the email, card number, server IP and API key are pixelated, with a message that 4 items were redacted

Know exactly who leaked it

Mark a screenshot for its recipient. Every copy carries a trace code plus a faint micro-code tiled across the image that survives cropping. If it turns up somewhere it shouldn't, search the code in your history.

Tiled, single, stamp or corner styles
Or a simple label like "Internal use only"
Save presets, or add one to every capture

A tiled watermark reading For Acme Corp only with a trace code across the selection, and the watermark panel open with the Trace option selected

Grab a window — or one control inside it

Hover and Pixshot highlights the window or control under your cursor. Click to capture it exactly. Scroll or press Tab to step between control, window and full screen.

Works across multiple monitors and mixed scaling

Your screenshots stay on your PC

We don't run servers that collect your data, and Pixshot has no telemetry. Read the full privacy policy.

No account, no tracking: No sign-in, no usage statistics, no crash reports sent anywhere.
Offline text recognition: Redaction and grab-text use the OCR built into Windows. Nothing is uploaded.
AI only when you ask: Only the capture you send to Ask AI goes out — straight to the provider you chose, with your own key.

FAQ

Questions

Is Pixshot really free?

Yes. During the preview every feature, including Pro, is free. The Free edition stays free for personal use after that, and Pro will be a one-time purchase.

Does Pixshot upload my screenshots?

No. Captures, history and settings stay on your PC. The only time a screenshot leaves it is when you send that capture to Ask AI or Translate, and it goes directly to the AI provider you configured. See the privacy policy.

Which systems are supported?

Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) and Windows 11, 64-bit. Showing the capture screen before grabbing it — the fastest mode — needs Windows 10 version 2004 or later.

How do I start a capture?

Press the capture hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+A by default — you can change it), or click the tray icon. If another app already uses your hotkey, Pixshot suggests free combinations you can switch to with one click.

What does Ask AI need?

Your own API key from a provider such as Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Alibaba Qwen or Zhipu, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keys are encrypted on your PC.
