Screenpresso 2.3.10.0

Screenpresso is a screen capture tool for Windows 11 that takes screenshots and screen recordings and drops them straight into its own editor.

The free edition does not expire, and Pro is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

Download Screenpresso 2.3.10.0 - 124 MB, Windows 11, x64 or ARM64.

What you get without paying

The free edition is a real capture tool, not a trial. You get screenshots of a region, a window or the whole screen, HD screen recording, and a workspace that keeps every capture in one place.

Each capture opens in the editor, where the basics are free: arrows, text and highlights, added without opening another program.

There are two catches. Videos and shared links carry a small Screenpresso branding mark, and the editor is a lighter version of the Pro one.

You can use the free edition at work, too. For bug reports, quick how-tos and documentation screenshots, it is often all you need.

What Pro adds

Pro is a one-time licence per person, usable on up to five computers, with a year of updates included and a 30-day money-back guarantee. After the first year, maintenance is an optional extra, and the version you have keeps working without it.

• Better video. 4K recording at up to 60fps, computer sound alongside your microphone, correct colours on HDR screens, HEVC output for smaller files, and clipping and merging of recordings.
• Automatic subtitles. Your voice is turned into an SRT subtitle file while you record. You can edit it in any text editor or burn it into the MP4.
• Automatic blurring. Email addresses, card numbers, IP addresses and API keys are found and blurred, in screenshots and live while recording.
• The full editor. Every annotation tool, a colour picker, text recognition (OCR) to copy text out of an image, and AI editing that changes a screenshot from a typed description.
• Work features. Multiple workspaces, a document generator, capture from an Android phone, and policies IT admins can use to switch features off.

If you mostly take screenshots and mark them up, free is enough. If you record tutorials with sound or share screenshots of real customer data, Pro is where the time savings are.

Which download to take

The download page lists two versions, and most people want the first one.

• Screenpresso 2.3.10.0, the current release. It installs normally, keeps itself updated, and needs Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022 on an x64 or ARM64 processor, with 4 GB of RAM.
• Screenpresso 2.2.13, the older build. It is the last version that runs portable without installing, and the one to try on Windows 10. It no longer updates itself, so treat it as a fallback rather than a choice.

Since 2.3, Screenpresso has had no portable mode at all. If you want a capture tool that runs from a USB stick and stays current, Kalmuri is built for exactly that.

What is new in 2.3

Version 2.3.8.0 removes the last of the old AVI recording format, so everything now records to MP4. It also adds separate volume controls for the microphone and computer sound, and simpler video quality choices with a new Ultra high setting.

Version 2.3.7.0 brought a redesigned stamp picker in the editor, new stamps and a place for your own. Backspace now deletes the selected item, which sounds small until you have reached for the Delete key a hundred times.

The rest of the 2.3 line is fixes: a white screen during capture, restarts after the PC wakes from sleep, a webcam display problem on high-DPI screens, and clipboard and language bugs.

The capture engine underneath

Since 2.3.10, Screenpresso captures with your graphics card instead of the processor, which makes captures faster and lighter on memory. It also records across several screens at once.

That engine works on Windows 11 with a supported graphics card and the right permissions. Anywhere else, Screenpresso quietly falls back to its older engine.

A few things got noticeably better with it. Rounded windows come out as clean rectangles with transparent corners, screenshots from HDR screens no longer look washed out, and your desktop icons can be hidden automatically during a capture.

Windows now asks for permission feature by feature, for screen capture, files, microphone and webcam. If a capture comes out blank, those permission prompts are the first thing to check.

HEVC recordings that will not play

HEVC is a Pro option and off by default. It makes smaller MP4 files at the same quality, but not every app on Windows can play them out of the box.

If a recording opens elsewhere as a black screen or sound only, install the HEVC Video Extension or the free device manufacturer package.

Our HEVC extensions guide explains why there are two packages, and the HEVC troubleshooting guide covers the cases they do not fix.

Sharing

Captures go out by email, to cloud storage, or to Dropbox and Linear, whose sign-ins now stay valid until you revoke them. Built-in sharing to Evernote and Twitter has been removed.

Free alternatives worth knowing

ShareX is the one to compare against. It is free and open source with no paid tier at all, covers screenshots, recording and OCR, and asks more of you in setup. If Pro's price is the sticking point, ShareX is the honest answer.

ScreenToGif is better if your output is animated GIFs, and OBS Studio is the answer for multi-source scenes and live streaming.

Cap Screen Recorder is the minimal open-source option for quick shareable recordings.

On the paid side, FastStone Capture is cheaper and lighter and Snagit is built for teams and templates.

Bandicam is the paid pick if recording games or long sessions matters more than screenshots.

Screenshot Captor and TechSmith Capture cover the lighter end.

The rest of the field is in our screen capture section.

If you only need one screenshot

Installing anything is overkill for a single capture. The Screen Capture tool takes one in your browser with nothing to download.

The sign that Screenpresso is worth installing: you take screenshots several times a day, and you mark up most of them.
