MatteshotEvery screenshot, a matte shot.
Press PrtScn. The screen freezes, you click a window, and six finished versions appear. Pick one and it's on your clipboard. Recording, scrolling capture and a real editor are there when you want them - and invisible when you don't.
This is the actual picker flow. Try the keys - they work here, exactly like they do in the app.
Three seconds, start to paste.
Built for the moment you need a decent-looking screenshot and don't want to open a design tool.
Press PrtScn
Every monitor freezes. Hover highlights whole windows, drag grabs a region - even across screens. Ctrl+Alt+S skips straight to the active window.
Pick a matte
Six styled versions render instantly, tinted from the colors of whatever you captured. Your last choice is preselected, so Enter just works.
Paste it
A full-resolution PNG lands on your clipboard three ways at once - image, PNG and file - so paste works in chat, docs and Explorer alike.
Six mattes. Zero fiddling.
Backdrops are derived from the dominant hue of your capture, so they never clash. Same window, six looks.
When you do want to edit.
Press T in the picker and the tweak editor opens. Everything you'd expect, nothing you have to learn.
- Annotate - arrows, lines, boxes, highlights, text, numbered steps. Drag anything after the fact; reshape arrows by their tips.
- Redact - pixelate the parts that shouldn't leave the building.
- Reframe - swap the matte, slide the padding, snap to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or social.
- Copy text - built-in OCR reads the capture, fully offline.
Records your screen, too.
Hit Record in the same overlay and use the same gesture - click a window or drag a region.
MP4, with audio
H.264 video with optional system sound or mic, muxed properly. The floating controls exclude themselves from the recording.
Trim on stop
When you stop, a review window shows a filmstrip. Drag two handles, save a frame-accurate trim, done. No timeline app required.
GIF when it helps
Optionally save a share-sized GIF alongside the MP4 for the places where video won't autoplay.
Whole pages, one shot.
Scrolling capture stitches an entire page into a single tall image. It measures how far the content actually moved instead of trusting the app, so it works in browsers, editors and terminals alike.
- This is real output - a full Wikipedia article, 27,000 pixels tall, captured in one pass. Scroll it.
- Sticky toolbars handled - headers and status bars are detected and appear exactly once.
- Knows when to stop - end of page is detected by measurement, not guesswork.
Small app, sharp output.
Native and tiny
Rust and Win32. No Electron, no runtime, no splash screen. It sits in your tray and waits.
Crisp capture
Uses the same GPU capture path as OBS. Hardware-accelerated apps and Win11 rounded corners come out clean.
2x export
The frame renders at double resolution so your shots stay sharp after Twitter, Slack and GitHub rescale them.
Nothing uploads
Capture, styling, OCR and files all happen on your machine. There is no account and no cloud.
PrtScn, handled
Windows normally reserves the key for Snipping Tool. Matteshot takes it over with one consent prompt, reversible any time. Win+Shift+S keeps working.
Dark and light
Every window, menu and titlebar follows your system theme - and switches live when Windows does.
Pin to screen
Float any capture on top as a reference while you work. Drag to move, scroll to zoom.
Multi-monitor, obviously
The overlay freezes every display. Select on any of them, drag regions across the seam.
Consistent by default
Your last matte is remembered and preselected. Ship screenshots that look like they came from the same brand, because they did.
A matte shot is the old film trick of compositing a subject over a painted background. Mountains behind the castle, painted on glass. That is exactly what happens to your window. The backgrounds are mattes, and you pick one.
Matte is the finish that doesn't compete with the subject. It's the gallery print, the good business card, the phone you didn't put a case on. Your content is the point. The matte just makes it look expensive.
Your screenshots are about to level up.
