What using VizShot is like

  • Out of your way

    It lives in the menu bar or the tray. Press the shortcut, drag, and the picture is copied and saved.

  • A clean editor

    Thirteen tools with one key each, and nothing on screen you do not need. The picture stays in front.

  • Nothing to sign up for

    No account and no sign-in. Install it and start.

  • Tested on both systems

    Every release gets a full pass on a real Mac and a real PC before it ships.

Where VizShot is better

  • It runs on Windows

    The same app and the same shortcuts on a PC and a Mac, from one key.

  • $8, once

    Xnapper’s Basic licence is $29.99 for one Mac, with a year of updates. VizShot is $8 for two computers, with every update.

  • It records the screen too

    Record part of the screen as an MP4, with the computer’s sound and your microphone, and share it with a link.

  • Links that are yours

    Uploads go straight to your own bucket, with no hosting plan to pay for.

Questions

Asked, and answered.

Is there an Xnapper for Windows?

Xnapper’s own site describes a native macOS app and lists only macOS. VizShot is a separate app by a different developer, and it runs on Windows.

Can I keep Xnapper on my Mac and use VizShot on my PC?

Yes. They do not get in each other’s way.

Does VizShot run on a Mac as well?

Yes. It is the same app on both, and you can use your key on two computers, in any mix. On a Mac it needs macOS 14 or newer.

What happens after the 14 days?

You get 14 days with every feature. After that, VizShot keeps taking screenshots, but saving, uploading and recording need a key.

Do I need an account?

No. Install it and start. You only give an email address when you buy a key.
