Version 1.3.323 is the latest stable (October 2026), ending a long wait for a new release. It exports to file, printer, email, and Imgur, and its plugin system reaches Office and Jira — one hotkey replaces three steps of your screenshot workflow. ## Installation 1. **Download the installer** — Download Greenshot from the official vendor link on this page. 2. **Run the setup** — Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen installation steps. 3. **Launch the app** — Start Greenshot from the Start menu or desktop shortcut. ## Editorial verdict Greenshot is the screenshot tool Windows should have shipped: press Print Screen and capture a region, window, or full screen, then annotate it in the built-in editor — arrows, boxes, highlights, obfuscation — and send it straight to a file, clipboard, email, or Imgur. Version 1.3.323 keeps the workflow that made it beloved: capture, annotate in seconds, export, done. We documented a 40-step software setup with it; region capture plus numbered badges turned a tedious job into a fast one, and the editor's obfuscate tool blurred API keys cleanly. It is free and open source on Windows (the Microsoft Store build is paid, which funds development — the identical free build is on the official site). The editor covers the essentials but not Photoshop: no layers, no advanced effects. Imgur upload occasionally hiccups under API limits, and the interface, like Ditto's, prioritizes function over beauty. For documentation, bug reports, and tutorials where annotated screenshots do the talking, it remains the fastest free option on Windows. ### Strengths - Print Screen captures a region, window, or full screen, then opens a built-in editor for arrows, boxes, text, highlights, and obfuscation — no second app needed. Captures can also run on a timer or in fixed-size regions for repetitive documentation work. - One-click export to file, clipboard, printer, email, or Imgur, with configurable filename patterns and folders per capture type. - The obfuscate tool blurs or pixelates sensitive areas (passwords, API keys) cleanly — essential for sharing screenshots publicly. - External command integration can pass captures to OCR tools or custom scripts, extending it into automated documentation workflows. We wired it to an OCR tool so captured error dialogs became searchable text automatically. - Free and open source (GPL) on Windows via the official site — the paid Store version is identical and simply funds development. ### Trade-offs - The editor handles annotation well but has no layers or advanced image editing — complex compositions still need a real image editor. For quick documentation screenshots, though, you will never miss the extra power. - Imgur uploads depend on Imgur's API limits and can fail during outages; private hosting needs the external-command workaround. - The interface is functional rather than beautiful, and first-run configuration of capture hotkeys and save locations takes a few minutes. ## FAQ **Is Greenshot free?** Yes on Windows — free and GPL open source. The Mac version costs $1.99 to cover the developers' costs. **What is new in Greenshot 1.3.323?** It is the latest stable release (October 2026), arriving after a long gap — get it from the official downloads page for the newest fixes. **Can Greenshot blur sensitive parts of a screenshot?** Yes — the built-in editor has an obfuscate tool for blurring or pixelating private areas before sharing. **Greenshot or the Windows Snipping Tool?** The Snipping Tool covers basic captures. Greenshot adds instant annotation, one-key export destinations, and plugins — much faster for documentation and bug reports. --- Source: https://filecobra.com/app/greenshot-screenshot-pc/ · Mirrored from the publisher's own release channel by FileCobra.
