winshotx is a free and open source screenshot and screen recording tool for Windows 10 and 11,
a lightweight alternative to the built-in Snipping Tool. It captures a region over a frozen
screenshot with a 6x pixel magnifier that shows the exact colour in hex and copies it with one
key, snaps to system windows, and records that region to GIF or MP4 at 15, 30 or 60 fps through
Windows Graphics Capture. The editor trims the recording frame by frame with A and B marks,
crops the image, annotates it with arrows, boxes, text, highlights and a mosaic that hides
private details, and exports to GIF, MP4, PNG or JPG, to disk or to the clipboard.
It can also keep what just happened: with the replay ring on, winshotx records all the time and
drops the old, so one key saves the last 15, 30 or 60 seconds straight into the editor without
stopping the recording.
Nothing is downloaded at runtime: MP4 is written by Media Foundation in hardware, the GIF
encoder is pure Rust and the text recognition is the one Windows already ships, so there is no
bundled FFmpeg and no OCR engine to install. It installs for the current user only, so it never
asks for administrator rights, and it lives in the system tray with no window of its own. There
is no account, no telemetry and no uploads.
The interface is in English and Spanish, following Windows.

Kwa ufupi: winshotx ni zana ya chanzo huria ya kundi la “Vinasa skrini” kwa kompyuta za 64-bit. Wasimamizi wa mifumo wanaweza kuisambaza bila maswali.
Je, ni salama kupakua winshotx?
- Faili inatolewa na github.com, kikoa cha mchapishaji mwenyewe
- Kiungo cha kupakua kinatumia HTTPS
- Hashi ya SHA256 imechapishwa, hivyo unaweza kuthibitisha faili:
E9921AB925CD9269714265A5EB3C8B6B333B13D02EF2EEAB8A994A0691996103· Fungua ripoti ya VirusTotal ya hashi hii - Kiungo bado hakijakaguliwa
- Msimbo chanzo uko wazi kwa umma
- ExeAtlas haihifadhi, haifungi wala haibadilishi visakinishi

Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara
Je, winshotx ni bure?
Ndiyo. winshotx ni programu ya chanzo huria chini ya leseni ya MIT.
Je, ni salama kupakua winshotx?
Faili inapakuliwa kutoka github.com, ambayo ni ya mchapishaji mwenyewe; ExeAtlas haihifadhi wala haibadilishi faili. Linganisha hashi yake ya SHA256 na ile iliyoonyeshwa hapa, au fungua ripoti ya VirusTotal ya hashi hiyo.
Jinsi ya kusakinisha winshotx kwa winget?
Fungua PowerShell au Windows Terminal na uendeshe amri ya winget iliyoonyeshwa kwenye ukurasa huu. winget hupakua kisakinishi rasmi na kukagua hashi yake ya SHA256 kabla ya kukiendesha.
Je, winshotx inaweza kusakinishwa kimya?
Ndiyo. Ukurasa wa usakinishaji kimya unaonyesha amri kamili kwa kila kisakinishi.
Je, winshotx inafanya kazi kwenye ARM (Windows on Arm)?
Hakuna toleo la ARM64; Windows 11 on Arm inaweza kuendesha toleo la 64-bit kupitia uigaji (emulation).
Wapi pa kupakua toleo la zamani la winshotx?
Ukurasa wa matoleo unaorodhesha matoleo 17 yote pamoja na viungo vya faili rasmi za kisakinishi, kuanzia 28 Agosti 2026.
Je, winshotx inaweza kutumika bila haki za msimamizi?
Ndiyo, kuna kisakinishi cha mtumiaji mmoja kisichohitaji haki za msimamizi.
Ni programu gani mbadala wa winshotx?
OBS Studio, ShareX, ScreenToGif, Captura na Camtasia. Ukurasa wa mbadala unazilinganisha.
