The story of why I built the screenshot tool I always needed
I'm an IT Support professional with years of experience helping users solve technical problems. Throughout my career in IT support, I've assisted countless people with their daily computing tasks, troubleshooting issues, and managing their digital workflows.
During those years, one task kept coming up repeatedly: taking screenshots and sharing them. Whether it's for documentation, support tickets, communication with clients, or creating tutorials, screenshots are essential tools in the IT world.
Despite the importance of screenshots, I found myself constantly frustrated with existing solutions. Here's what I was dealing with:
Existing tools were either too expensive, required subscriptions, or came with bloated features I didn't need.
Snipt combines screenshot capture and cloud storage in one lightweight, free application.
Sharing screenshots required multiple steps, manual uploads, or using third-party services.
Screenshot, capture, and share—all from one integrated tool with built-in cloud storage.
Many screenshot tools consumed excessive memory and slowed down systems.
Snipt is engineered to be incredibly lightweight and fast, with minimal system impact.
After years of working around these limitations, I decided to build the tool I always needed: Snipt.
Snipt is designed with a simple philosophy: Do one thing, and do it exceptionally well. It focuses on what matters most—quick, easy screenshot capture with seamless cloud integration.
No unnecessary features or confusing interfaces. Just intuitive, straightforward screenshot capture.
