Capture without compromise
Region, window, and cross-monitor capture through Windows Graphics Capture, with DPI-correct geometry and an HDR-aware color path.
PHYSICAL PIXELS01 Precision capture for Windows
Snip Wizard turns a screenshot into a clean working document: crop, mark up, safely redact, copy, export, and read text with Windows’ local OCR. Your pixels never need to leave the device.
02 The capture instrument
Drag inside the preview. This local interaction models Snip Wizard’s physical-pixel selection and adaptive dimension counter; it does not capture or upload your screen.

03 One exact workflow
Region, window, and cross-monitor capture through Windows Graphics Capture, with DPI-correct geometry and an HDR-aware color path.
PHYSICAL PIXELSCrop, arrows, rectangles, text, undo and redo stay editable until export. Safe redaction is rendered opaque into the final pixels.
NON-DESTRUCTIVEWindows.Media.Ocr reads the flattened capture on the PC. There is no cloud fallback, hidden download, remote model, or account.
WINDOWS OCRCopy a standards-correct DIB to the clipboard or export PNG and JPEG. The finished file goes only where you choose.
PNG / JPEG / CLIPBOARD04 Privacy architecture
Snip Wizard is intentionally different from the products being migrated to Firebase. Screen contents, OCR text, edits, and exports stay on the Windows device. Adding a database, login, analytics SDK, or cloud processor would make this product worse, not more complete.
05 Release truth
The native capture, editor, local OCR, privacy, and packaged-development smoke gates are verified on Windows. A public download is not shown yet because the current MSIX is development-signed; the release becomes public only after a trusted production signing path is in place.
