Screenshots that stay on top.

PinPane is a focused screenshot app for Windows, built for captures you still need after taking them. Capture a region, pin it always on top as a floating reference image, annotate it, copy it, save it, or drag it into another app.

Made for the screenshot you need to use.

Most screenshot tools stop after capture. PinPane keeps the next action close, so a screenshot can become a floating reference image, note, clipboard image, saved file, or drag-out attachment quickly.

Capture what matters

Grab a region, active window, or all displays with familiar Print Screen shortcuts.

2

Pin screenshots always on top

Keep a capture floating above other windows while you compare, type, follow steps, or report an issue.

3

Mark up the point

Add pen, highlighter, shapes, text, crop, undo, and redo when the screenshot needs context.

Copy, save, or drag captures into chats, documents, support tickets, and reports.
