Free on the Mac too
WellSnap is free on both systems, with the same tools and shortcuts on macOS 14 and later.
A Greenshot alternative for chats and teams
Greenshot is a solid editor with a long history. WellSnap starts where its workflow ends: sending several marked-up screenshots to a chat, with the comments, in a single paste.
Press Print Screen. The screen freezes.
Open menus and tooltips stay put. Drag over the part you need.
PrtScKeyboard shortcutsArrows, boxes, a marker and text
One key per tool. Shift snaps arrows to 45°.
Blur that cannot be undone
Built from the pixels around the box, so there is nothing to recover.
Numbered callouts with comments
A click drops a number. The comment stays on the picture or goes as text.
One more, and one more
Each screenshot in a set gets a letter, its callouts become A1, A2, B1.
ShiftEnterSend several screenshotsThe whole set goes into a chat at once
Your comments and the pictures arrive as one message.
WinAltVSend several screenshotsOr as one picture
For email and tickets: all screenshots on one sheet, comments under each.
CtrlVCombine screenshotsPrint Screen opens Snipping Tool? One click fixes it
WellSnap takes the key over, and you can give it back at any time.
Quiet updates, private by design
Updates install while you are away. Screenshots never leave your computer.

Sets and albums
Collect screenshots A, B, C and paste them into Telegram, WhatsApp or Discord in one go. Callouts become A1, B1, so replies point at the right picture.
A blur you can trust
The mosaic never reads the pixels it hides, so there is nothing to recover from the copied image.
Print Screen sorted
WellSnap spots when Windows or another tool holds the key and takes it over in one click.
When Greenshot is the better choice
Greenshot can capture a whole window, export straight to Jira, Confluence, Office or Dropbox through plugins, and has more shapes such as ellipses. If those exports are part of your routine, Greenshot fits it better.
Switching takes a minute
- Turn off Print Screen in Greenshot's preferences, or let WellSnap show you which app holds the key.
- Step labels become callouts (N), with comments on the image or as separate text.
- Obfuscate becomes Blur (B), with a solid fill for passwords.
Questions and answers
Does WellSnap have plugins like Greenshot?
No. WellSnap puts the screenshot on the clipboard or in a file, and paste with text drops it into the app you have open.
Is WellSnap open source like Greenshot?
Yes, both use the GNU GPL 3.0. WellSnap's source is on GitHub.
