Snip it. Mark it up. Paste it anywhere.
Beta testers wanted. Try OpusCanvas early and help shape what comes next.
Press Ctrl+Shift+S anywhere, snip a region, window, or screen, and point things out with arrows, boxes, numbered steps, text, highlights, and blur. Copy it straight into Teams, email, or a document, or let it save itself. It works offline and never asks you to sign in.
OpusCanvasComing soon for Windows and Mac
How it works
Snip
Press Ctrl Shift S from any app, even with the window closed, and drag around what you want.
Mark it up
Add arrows, boxes, numbered steps, text, and highlights. Blur anything private. Every mark stays movable.
Paste it anywhere
Press Ctrl C and paste into Teams, email, or a document. A PNG is already saved for you.
What it does
-
Snip a region, window, or screen
Ctrl+Shift+S opens the same Windows snip overlay you already know, and OpusCanvas picks the snip up for markup. Full screen capture works too.
-
Always ready
OpusCanvas waits in the system tray, so the shortcut works with the window closed. The tray menu has New capture, Full screen, Open, and Quit.
-
Delay for menus and tooltips
Choose no delay, 3 seconds, or 5 seconds, so menus and tooltips that close when you click away can be captured.
-
Numbered steps
Click to drop 1, 2, 3 badges that count up on their own. Good for how-to guides and bug reports.
-
Arrows, boxes, text, and more
Arrow, box, ellipse, line, pen, highlighter, and text, in seven colors and three thicknesses. Hold Shift for straight lines and square boxes.
-
Blur what should stay private
Pixelate names, numbers, and passwords so they cannot be read, before the image goes anywhere.
-
Change your mind
Every mark stays movable until you close the capture. Drag ends and corners to reshape, double-click text to edit, and undo or redo as far as you need. Crop when you are done.
-
One click copy
Copy, or press Ctrl+C, puts the marked up image on the clipboard, ready to paste.
-
It saves itself
Each capture is saved right away as a PNG in Pictures\Screenshots, the same folder Windows uses, and changes save a moment after you make them.
-
Open or paste an image
Open or drop a PNG or JPEG to mark it up, or press Ctrl+V on the start screen to start from an image on the clipboard.
-
Light and dark
Follows Windows or your choice, with themes shared across the OpusNexus apps.
-
No account, no tracking
OpusCanvas works fully offline and never sees your screenshots. They stay on your PC.
