WinShot is a lightweight Windows screenshot utility that combines screen capture, annotation, and image exporting in a modern desktop interface. It supports fullscreen, selected-region, and active-window captures through configurable keyboard shortcuts. Its editor provides shapes, arrows, text, numbered markers, and spotlight effects for highlighting important details. Annotations remain editable and can be repositioned, resized, or rotated without altering the original screenshot. Users can crop images with predefined aspect ratios and apply one of 24 gradient backgrounds. Screenshots can be exported as PNG or JPEG files with customizable quality settings. Built with Wails, Go, React, and TypeScript, WinShot emphasizes native performance and compact installation. System tray integration and automatic startup provide convenient background access.
