Capture anything. Stack a whole story. Mark it up, hide the secrets and send it, all from one shortcut. Native, instant and private, on your Mac.
Free forever · 14 days of Pro included · macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Press ⇧⌘1 and the screen freezes, pixel-perfect. Drag an area, click a window, or tap a letter to switch: fullscreen, text, scrolling, recording or a stack. One shortcut, nothing else to learn. A loupe and color picker are built right in.
Drag to capture any area, or click a window to snap to it.
Bug reports, how-tos and emails need six screenshots, not one. Stack mode was built for exactly that.
Areas, windows, whole screens. No dialogs and no saving in between. Every shot lands in a floating tray.
Drag to reorder, tap × to toss one, or copy them all to the clipboard at once. Paste straight into Mail or Slack.
Arrows, numbered steps, highlights and blur, plus a caption for each shot. Undo is always one keystroke away.
Captions become a step-by-step guide automatically. Your next how-to just wrote itself.
Paused videos, error dialogs, photos of a whiteboard, PDFs that won't let you select. Press ⇧⌘1, tap T, drag over the text, and it's on your clipboard. Recognition runs on your Mac, in many languages.
Your copied text appears here, ready to paste anywhere.
This demo really copies to your clipboard. In PixNip it works on anything on your screen.
One click and PixNip finds emails, phone numbers, card numbers, API keys, IP addresses and faces, then pixelates them. It all runs on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded.
Wrap any screenshot in a gradient, a color or your own image, with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow, sized for social. Save your look once, and every screenshot you open in the editor starts on-brand. Try it with your own background:
Tap + or drop an image on the preview. It stays in your browser.
Select a scrolling area and scroll, or let PixNip auto-scroll for you. Frames are stitched pixel-perfectly, and sticky headers appear just once. It works in every app, logged-in pages included.
Thirteen tools, one key each. Shapes look polished by default: tapered arrows, soft shadows and numbered steps that count themselves.
Recognized text in another language? Translate it without it ever leaving your Mac.
Die Datei wird auf einem anderen Gerät verwendet. Schließe sie dort und versuche es erneut.
The file is in use on another device. Close it there and try again.
Record any region at 60 fps with click highlights. One click turns it into a GIF.
Float any shot above everything, for reference while you work.
Find any capture by the words inside it.
Press C in the overlay to copy any pixel's hex. Hover here to try.
#C2349EOne hotkey: capture → redact → beautify → copy, or hand it to your own script. Drive PixNip from Shortcuts, Raycast or the command line.
Captions in, polished guide out.
Already reach for ⇧⌘4 without thinking? Let PixNip take over Apple's screenshot shortcuts. Prefer to keep them? It runs on ⇧⌘1 and ⇧⌘2 instead.
Every download includes 14 days of Pro. After that, the free version keeps working for as long as you like.

No. Capture, text recognition, redaction and background removal all run on your Mac. PixNip only goes online for a license check with our payment provider, update checks, and pages you ask it to capture with Capture Web Page. Nothing is uploaded unless you write a workflow script that does it.
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Translate needs macOS 14.4 or later, and click highlights in recordings need macOS 15.
Yes. No subscription. Pro is a single payment that includes every 1.x update and works on up to 3 of your Macs. If there's ever a PixNip 2.0, existing customers will get an upgrade discount.
PixNip switches to the free version. Nothing gets locked or deleted, and you can upgrade whenever you like.
Yes. Turn on "Use ⇧⌘3, ⇧⌘4 and ⇧⌘5 for PixNip" during setup or in Settings, and PixNip walks you through switching off Apple's versions.
No. Scrolling capture works in any app, and Capture Web Page renders a complete page from its URL. There's nothing extra to install.
