Lightshot
The fastest way to take a customizable screenshot
Lightshot is a free, lightweight screenshot tool developed by Skillbrains, designed for Windows and macOS users. It enables quick and intuitive screen captures with minimal effort.

The application offers immediate editing capabilities, allowing annotations with text, arrows, shapes, and highlights. Screenshots can be saved locally in formats like PNG, JPEG, or BMP, copied to the clipboard, or uploaded to Lightshot’s server to generate a shareable link. Additionally, Lightshot features a unique reverse image search, enabling users to find similar images online. Available as a desktop application and as browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera, Lightshot provides a seamless experience for capturing and sharing screenshots.
