If you use Windows daily, chances are you rely on screenshots more than you realize. Microsoft’s built-in Snipping Tool works in a pinch, but when you need speed, polish, and flexibility, it starts to fall short.

That’s why I built Snipper — a lightweight screenshot app for Windows designed for developers, creators, and anyone who wants more control over their captures.
