Glint

A small, fast screenshot tool for Windows. One exe, under 300 KB, no installer required and nothing extra to install.

What it does

• Area, window, fullscreen, delayed and scrolling captures. Print Screen starts one.
• Window capture ignores whatever is on top of the window.
• Editor with arrows, text, shapes, steps, blur, pixelate, erase, magnifier, ruler and backdrops.
• Floating preview, pin to screen, OCR, color picker with WCAG and APCA contrast.
• Uploads to Zipline, Cloudflare R2, S3, a Discord webhook or your own endpoint, with a hotkey per target. ShareX .sxcu files can be imported.
• PNG, JPEG and lossless WebP.
• English and German.

Get it

Grab Glint.exe from Releases. It offers to install itself on first start, or just runs from wherever you put it.

• Stable is the latest tagged release.
• Nightly is built from the nightly branch and can break. Switch channels in Settings > General.

Glint tells you about updates and opens the download page. It never installs anything by itself. The exe isn't signed yet, so SmartScreen may complain.

Build

You need Windows and the .NET SDK. It targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with Windows.

./build.ps1

Releasing

New work goes to nightly, which CI builds once a day when it changed. For a stable release, merge into main and push a tag like v0.2.0.
