Monosnap vs Snipping Tool

Monosnap captures, edits, uploads, and shares screenshots and videos. Users can capture the full screen, a selected area, or a window, and use hotkeys for capture. The editor supports highlighting, blurring sensitive information, drag-and-drop editing, and export to an external editor. Monosnap records video and GIFs, while the Chrome extension can capture desktop, window, or browser content in WebM and GIF and add audio to videos. OCR text extraction, scrolling capture, annotation tools, and shareable links are listed. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, MP4, GIF, WEBM, WEBP, SVG, and MOV. It is available on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a Chrome extension. The Free plan is free and includes 2 GB storage, a 100 MB single-file upload limit, five-minute video recordings, and 1,000 monthly uploads. Non-Commercial, Commercial, and Enterprise plans are listed without prices. Commercial offers team accounts, unlimited apps, and private links; Enterprise includes single sign-on, advanced access controls, tailored support, and security options. Commercial or public use is paid and may require an additional agreement.

Snipping Tool is a free Windows utility for capturing screen images and video, then editing, saving, and sharing them. Image captures can use freeform, rectangular, window, or full-screen modes; video snips use a separate overlay. Windows+Shift+S opens image capture, while Windows+Shift+R opens video capture. A delay control provides a one-to-five-second countdown. Image snips support pen, highlighter, shapes, emojis, erasing, and cropping. Text actions use OCR to extract selected or all text and can redact email addresses or phone numbers. Microsoft says recognition runs locally on the device. Captures save automatically to the Screenshots folder, with settings to change saving behavior or the default folder. Recorded video can open in Clipchamp for editing, including captions or audio. The app ships with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and can be obtained from the Microsoft Store if missing. Scrolling capture is not supported.
