# Screenshoter - fast Windows screenshot tool
**Screenshoter** is a lightweight Windows tray app for quick screenshots. It captures a selected region or the monitor under your cursor, saves a PNG file, and puts **both the image and the file path** on the clipboard.
It is built for people who need screenshots in chats, bug reports, documentation, terminals, Markdown files, IDEs, support tools, and issue trackers without opening a heavy editor or uploading anything to the cloud.
## Download
For normal use, download the ready-made executable from GitHub Releases:
- Latest release page: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/e-u-shapovalov/screenshoter/releases/latest)
- Direct download: [Screenshoter.exe](https://github.com/e-u-shapovalov/screenshoter/releases/latest/download/Screenshoter.exe)
Do **not** use `Code -> Download ZIP` if you only want to run the app. That downloads the source code, not the ready-to-use program.
## Quick Start
1. Download `Screenshoter.exe`.
2. Put it into any folder you like.
3. Run it.
4. Find the Screenshoter icon in the Windows system tray.
5. Press `Ctrl+Shift+1` to capture a region, or `Ctrl+Shift+3` to capture the monitor under the cursor.
6. Press `Ctrl+V` where you need the result. Image-friendly apps will paste the screenshot; text fields and terminals usually paste the saved file path.
No installer and no admin rights are required. Windows SmartScreen may warn because the binary is unsigned. If you trust this repository, choose **More info** and then **Run anyway**, or build the executable yourself.
## Features
- Region screenshot with `Ctrl+Shift+1`.
- Monitor screenshot with `Ctrl+Shift+3`.
- Timestamped PNG files.
- Clipboard contains both the bitmap image and the saved file path.
- Configurable screenshots folder.
- Optional startup shortcut.
- Russian and English UI.
- Multi-monitor and DPI-aware behavior.
- Single small `.exe`, no external dependencies.
## What It Is Not
Screenshoter is not an image editor, OCR tool, video recorder, cloud uploader, or annotation suite. It is intentionally small: capture, save, copy, continue working.
## Tray Menu
Right-click the tray icon to:
- capture a region;
- capture the current monitor;
- open the screenshots folder;
- change the screenshots folder;
- add or remove the app from Windows startup;
- switch language;
- open the GitHub page;
- exit the app.
Double-clicking the tray icon starts region capture.

## Build From Source
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/e-u-shapovalov/screenshoter.git
cd screenshoter
.\build.ps1
.\Screenshoter.exe
```
Requirements:
- Windows;
- .NET Framework 4.x;
- `C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe`.
No modern .NET SDK is required when the .NET Framework compiler is available.
## Troubleshooting
If hotkeys do not work, another app probably owns them. Check Yandex Disk, OneDrive, ShareX, Lightshot, recorder overlays, GPU utilities, or similar software. Free `Ctrl+Shift+1` and `Ctrl+Shift+3`, then wait a few seconds.
If the app seems invisible after launch, check the Windows system tray near the clock, including hidden tray icons.
If a screenshot is not saved, choose another screenshots folder from the tray menu and make sure Windows allows writing there.
