ScreenSnapr vs Lightshot

Lightshot is a free and popular way to grab part of the screen and get a short link. ScreenSnapr works the same way: press a shortcut, drag, paste the link. The big difference is who can see what you upload.

Choose ScreenSnapr if

  • Your screenshots sometimes show things that should stay private: customer details, internal tools, invoices.
  • You want shared screenshots to expire on their own, or to keep them for good with Ultimate.

Choose Lightshot if

  • You want a free tool and your screenshots are never sensitive.
  • You use a Mac and want to draw arrows and text on a screenshot before sharing it. ScreenSnapr’s annotation tools are on Windows only so far.
  • You want a browser extension.
