TrontSnap is a fast, keyboard-driven capture tool. Full screen, a freeze-frame region, or a recorded clip, straight to your clipboard and a scrollable history of everything you have ever shot. And unlike most tools, it keeps working over elevated windows.
Built in Rust, resident in the tray, out of your way until you press a key.
PrintScreen grabs the whole screen. Ctrl+PrintScreen freezes the picture and hands you a precise region picker with a magnifier, so nothing moves while you drag out the crop. Both land on your clipboard and disk instantly, with a corner toast to confirm.
Pick a region and record it to an H.264 MP4 with your system audio, hardware-encoded on the GPU. A blinking red frame marks the capture area and is physically incapable of showing up in its own footage. Export any clip to a GIF.
Every capture, lazy-loaded into a fast scrolling grid, alongside your existing ShareX library. Copy, open, reveal, delete, or export, and video clips get real first-frame thumbnails.
Every shot goes to the clipboard in multiple formats at once, so it pastes into chats, docs and terminals alike. Or grab a thumbnail and drag the file straight out into Discord or a browser upload.
Most capture tools go blind the moment an elevated window has focus, because a global keyboard hook is blocked from seeing keystrokes headed for that window, so PrintScreen simply does nothing. TrontSnap registers PrtSc as a system hotkey with RegisterHotKey, the same approach ShareX uses, so it keeps firing over elevated windows, Task Manager, and elevated terminals, all as a plain portable app that never has to run elevated itself.
TrontSnap is a portable single exe: no installer, nothing to approve, no reboot. Download it, run it, and it's already in your tray.
Grab trontsnap.exe from the latest release.
It drops into the tray and applies your hotkeys. Nothing to install.
Or left-click the tray icon. That's it, you're capturing.
To uninstall: delete the exe (untick "Start at login" in the tray menu first if you had it on).
TrontSnap takes over the PrtSc key using PrintScreenKeyForSnippingEnabled, a per-user, reversible Windows setting, the same one ShareX uses, so it can grab your screenshots. That is the only system change it makes, aside from an optional "Start at login" entry it writes for you. No signing, no elevation, no install directory.
