About

WinSnipper replaces the built-in Windows snip with a faster flow: press the

hotkey, drag a region, and the snip is saved, copied to the clipboard, and

pinned as a small floating thumbnail. Click the thumbnail to annotate

(rectangle, freehand, ellipse, arrow, text, numbered step badges,

redact/pixelate, crop) or drag it straight into any app as a file.

No confirmation dialogs anywhere - closing the editor saves silently and

refreshes the clipboard. Built for fast feedback loops, especially pasting

annotated screenshots into AI coding chats.

Security

No known CVEs for WinSnipper.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
