WinSnap - Enable Superior Screenshots

WinSnap is a clean, fast, simple and user-friendly utility for taking and editing screenshots. It can easily capture windows of non-rectangular form with customized and transparent backgrounds, including Aero Glass on Windows 7 and Vista. WinSnap adds eye-candy drop shadows, reflections, rotations, watermarks and other effects on the fly. It supports a variety of image formats and provides advanced auto-save features.

The latest version 3.5.1 was released on May 6, 2010 (change log)

Be sure that you are using the original software: Verify digital signatures!

The new version 3.5 contains a number of innovative features that enable far superior screenshots and even easier working methods.

WinSnap officially supports Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
