The AEShot Capture editor with arrows, numbered steps, a highlighter, blurred email addresses and a gradient background on a screenshot

Everything a screenshot needs

Every capture mode, a full editor and screen recording, a shortcut away.

Area, window and screen

Drag a frame on a frozen screen with a magnifier and exact sizes, or click any window to capture it with transparent corners and its shadow.

Scrolling capture

Just scroll. Long pages, chats and documents become one tall image, stitched as you go.

Annotate

Arrows, shapes, text, numbered steps, highlighter, blur, pixelate and spotlight, plus backgrounds that make any screenshot presentable.

Copy text (OCR)

Select text anywhere on screen, even in images and videos, and it lands on your clipboard. Recognized on your computer, in many languages.

Screen recording

Record an area, a window or the whole screen as video or GIF, with your computer’s sound, microphone and click highlights, up to your display’s refresh rate.

Quick Access

After each capture a thumbnail waits in the corner: copy, save, annotate, pin, or drag it straight into an email, a chat or a folder.

Pin to screen

Keep a screenshot floating above your windows as a reference while you work, at any size and opacity.

A shortcut for everything

Every mode has its own shortcut, including Capture & Copy variants that go straight to the clipboard with no popup at all.

See it in action

Dragging a selection over a dashboard with the magnifier, then the thumbnail appears

Capture any area

Drag on a frozen screen, with a magnifier and the exact size in pixels.

Two windows light up in turn as the pointer passes; a click captures the dashboard window on its own, with its shadow

Capture any window

Point at a window and click. It is captured on its own, with rounded corners and its shadow, even where something covers it.

A long list scrolled by hand while the preview of the stitched image grows

Capture whole pages

Scroll slowly, and the page is stitched into one image as you go.

Selecting names and email addresses on screen; the text is copied and pasted into a note

Copy text from anything

Select it on screen and it is on your clipboard, recognized on your computer.

Recording a window with the control bar counting and clicks highlighted

Record your screen

Video or GIF, with sound, microphone and highlighted clicks.

Hovering the Quick Access thumbnail, copying it, then dragging it into a folder

Copy, save or drag

A thumbnail waits after every shot. Copy it, or drag it wherever it needs to go.

Free. Nothing to buy.

AEShot Capture is free, like every AEShot app: nothing to buy and no ads. Every feature is yours from the first launch.

Private by design

No account, no ads, no uploads and no tracking of what you do. Everything you capture, recognize and record with AEShot Capture stays on your computer; it only counts its installations, anonymously. Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Now on Windows too

AEShot Capture for Windows has the same capture modes, editor, text recognition and screen recording, for Windows 11, and it is free too: download it. The Linux version follows soon.
