Snipaste

Snipaste is a utility for quick screen snipping and on-screen pinning. With a simple keystroke, users can snip any screen area and then edit it with basic drawing tools, pixel rulers, and color pickers. Its defining capability is to pin the snippet back onto the screen as a semi-transparent, resizable overlay that stays above all other applications. This transforms screenshots into reusable visual sticky notes, boosting productivity for tasks like transcription, form filling, or multi-monitor workflows. The application is resource-efficient, requiring minimal installation space and memory.
