Capture tools for Windows 11 and Ubuntu

Capture.
With precision.

Fast, private and always ready from your system tray. Grab a region or a whole screen, plus windows on Windows 11 — then pick the colour, measure the pixels and save it exactly the way you want.

Six tools on Ubuntu, seven on Windows

Everything you reach for.
Nothing you don't.

Ubuntu has three ways to capture; Windows adds Window capture. Both include three utilities, all opened by a global shortcut you can reassign.

Screenshots

Region

Two clicks, corner to corner, with alarm-red guides that follow your cursor across the screen.

Ctrl + Shift + 1

Fixed region

A frame you can drag and resize. Right-click it to type exact dimensions, or pick a preset like square or social card.

Ctrl + Shift + 2

Window

Windows 11 only: point at any visible window — it lights up under your cursor — and click once to capture it whole.

Ctrl + Shift + 3

Fullscreen

The entire monitor under your cursor, captured instantly — the right one, even on a multi-screen desk.

Ctrl + Shift + 4

Utilities

Colour Picker

On Windows it follows you across every monitor; on Ubuntu it works on the monitor containing the app. Lock a pixel, explore nearby shades with the circled palette and RGB slider, then copy HEX, RGB or HSL. On Windows the palette stays open while you paste into other apps.

Ctrl + Shift + C

Magnifier

A standalone loupe for inspecting fine detail. Scroll or click to change the zoom while you move around.

Ctrl + Shift + M

Pixel Ruler

A horizontal or vertical ruler that floats over your desktop, in pixels or centimetres, calibrated to your display's DPI.

Ctrl + Shift + R
Nothing hits your disk by accident

Capture first.
Decide after.

Every capture lands in the (snap)shot workspace, held in memory. You review it there and only then choose to save it or copy it — so a mistimed shot never leaves a file behind.

Get (snap)shot
  1. 01

    Press the shortcut

    The app stays in the tray until you call it. The screen dims, the guides appear, and you frame your shot.

  2. 02

    Review in the workspace

    See the result full size, with its dimensions and estimated file size, before anything is written anywhere.

  3. 03

    Save or copy

    Save straight to your captures folder, choose a location yourself, or copy the image to the clipboard and move on.

Set once, then forget it

The small things,
already handled.

WebP, PNG or BMP

Pick your format once — it is remembered for the next capture, along with an estimate of the file size before you commit.

A shutter you can hear

Ubuntu includes Nikon D7100 sound profiles and refined colours, with full-screen QHD overlays and matching Fixed region selection and preview sizes.

Your own shortcuts

Click any shortcut in Settings and press the combination you want. It is captured before your desktop can react to it.

Starts with your system

(snap)shot launches silently into the tray at login, so the first shortcut of the day already works.

English or Dutch

The interface and the tray menu both follow the language you choose. English is the default; Dutch is one click away.

It never phones home

No account, no telemetry, no network access. Your captures stay on your machine, in your own folder.

Windows 2.21.0 · Ubuntu 2.1.00 · free software

Take it for a shot.

One installer per platform. No sign-up, no licence key, nothing to unlock later.

Windows 11

MSI installer · 64-bit · 8.1 MB

The NL/EN MSI installer asks for administrator permission and installs in Program Files\XASI. The desktop shortcut is on by default and can be switched off. Remove an older EXE installation first. Uninstall through Windows Installed apps; personal settings and saved captures are retained.

Download .msi

The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn you. Choose More info › Run anyway to continue.

Ubuntu

Debian package · amd64

Double-click the package and choose Install in App Center, or use the terminal command below. Includes Region, Fixed region and Fullscreen.
