What's shipped.

v1.2.0

featureSeptember 13, 2026

The Gallery: every capture in one window

• A new Gallery window shows every capture you have taken in a resizable grid: five zoom levels, sort by date, size, dimensions or kind. Open it from the tray or with the new Ctrl+Shift+G hotkey.
• Work on many captures at once: select with click, Ctrl, Shift, a marquee or the keyboard, then copy as image, files or path, save as, show in folder, pin, or drag them out into another app, singly or many at a time.
• Delete from the gallery with an in-window Undo. Deletes are soft, so a slip is one click to reverse.
• Settings now lives inside the QuipShot window, beside the Gallery, with General, Hotkeys, OCR and Account in one place and Ctrl+Tab to cycle them. The separate Settings window is gone.
• A new switch, Save every capture to this folder, is on by default and works exactly as before. Turn it off to keep captures only in the gallery and write files when you choose. QuipShot never deletes anything from your save folder.
• See what QuipShot is using: the gallery toolbar shows the history store's size on disk, and Settings has a Storage block with a breakdown, Show in Explorer, Largest first, and a two-step Clear history that goes through the same undoable delete.
• The right-click menu in the gallery is QuipShot's own now: it matches your theme, opens where you clicked, stays on screen at the window's edges, and works from the keyboard.
• The emoji picker follows your theme, so in Light it is a light panel instead of a dark popup over a light editor.
• Leaner when idle: the app starts faster and uses roughly half the memory it did, because the emoji picker now warms up only when you first open an editor or capture, and GPU memory is returned when you close a window or turn Freeze off.
• Text is crisp at 150 percent display scale in every window, with no colour fringes on the dark theme.
• Smoother scrolling everywhere: the worst frames during a fast fling are about half as long.
• Housekeeping (history retention, trash, thumbnails, temp files) runs at the lowest priority, a while after launch and never while a capture is being written, so it stays out of your way on a slow PC.
• A capture that is open in an editor is never deleted or aged out under it, from the gallery, the history strip, or the retention sweep.
• An unavailable save folder no longer fails the whole capture: the clipboard, card and gallery still get it, and a toast tells you about the folder. Saved files are written atomically, and Save as dialogs open in your save folder.
• Ctrl+S after a failed folder save no longer loses your edits. It opens the Save as dialog, and the history copy keeps your annotations.
• Captures with the file format set to JPG save to your folder again.
• Turning Freeze off while a scroll capture is running no longer breaks the capture.
• Editor: the hand tool (hold Space, or the middle mouse button) only pans now, and never drags an annotation along with it.
• Thumbnail cards are clickable across their whole face, toasts stay on the monitor they appeared on and clear of the taskbar, and windows come back at the right size on the monitor they return to.
• The combine Cards gap slider now reaches 0, and captures taken with Freeze off show protected video areas as solid black instead of transparent.
• The log file now rotates at 8 MB instead of growing forever.

v1.1.3

fixSeptember 6, 2026

One taskbar button, safer saves, and combined images with a background

• Captures keep working after a cleanup tool empties your temp folder. Before, every capture failed quietly until you restarted QuipShot.
• Your annotations are saved when an editor closes any other way: Alt+F4, signing out, shutting down, or quitting from the tray.
• A capture that is open in an editor is never deleted out from under you, even if you dismiss its card or take many more shots.
• Reopening a capture from history brings back the editor you already have open instead of starting a second one.
• Very tall scrolling captures are capped at 16,000 pixels, so they always open.
• One taskbar button for QuipShot. Click it to bring your editors forward, and minimized editors restore properly.
• A new Show editors row in the tray menu brings every open editor to the front.
• Dragging a card onto another app no longer lands on an editor hiding behind it, and dropping a card where a lifted card used to sit works again.
• The tray flyout hands focus back to the app you were using when it closes.
• The capture overlay takes the keyboard even when the previous app refuses to let go, and Escape always works: it commits text, clears grab-text, or closes a panel or picker, exactly as before.
• Plugging in, unplugging, or rearranging monitors, and moving the taskbar, re-anchor your cards and flyouts instead of leaving them stranded.
• A held mouse action ends the moment another window takes over, so sliders and arrows never get stuck following the cursor.
• Freeze mode renders playing video correctly, including only the part of the window that is actually visible.
• The colour picker's loupe no longer picks up QuipShot's own toolbar.
• Scroll capture's wheel scrolls the control under the cursor, including Explorer lists and browser dropdowns.
• The emoji picker returns focus to the editor, so undo works right after you pick one.
• The hotkey recorder ignores keys typed into other windows and rejects reserved Windows shortcuts like Alt+Tab.
• Modifier keys re-sync after you lock or unlock Windows, so no more phantom captures after Win+L.
• Combined images with a background: each image becomes a rounded card, the background blends smoothly from one image's colours to the next with no visible seam, and a new Gap slider (0.1 to 50 percent, in fine steps) controls the spacing.
• The colour picker, grab-text, and inline tools no longer write temporary files while they work.
• Faster and leaner under the hood, and the license token no longer appears in the update log.

v1.1.2

featureJuly 2, 2026

Print from the editor, and reliable drag-and-drop

• Print straight from the editor with Ctrl+P: your shot goes to any printer exactly as it looks on the canvas, with every annotation, background and combined tile included.
• Prints come out centred, sized to fit the page, and kept in proportion, with your printer handling copies. QuipShot confirms when a print is on its way, and tells you plainly if the printer refuses.
• Dragging a shot into WhatsApp and other apps is reliable again: the 'invalid file' and wrong-size errors are gone, and dragged shots no longer arrive broken. Each one now leaves QuipShot as a clean, finished copy that stays intact while the other app picks it up.

v1.1.1

featureJune 16, 2026

An eraser, and a cleaner combine

• A new eraser in the editor: rub across any annotation to take it back to the photo underneath, never a black smudge, even over a blur. It has its own size, set apart from your pen.
• Text now stays inside your shot: it wraps at the right edge and keeps clear of every side, and the saved image wraps exactly the way you see it on screen.
• The editor's combine compass is gone, replaced by something more hands-on: drag an image and it snaps flush against the others into one solid picture, with no stray gaps between tiles.
• Resize any tile in a combined shot from its corners, and the first image moves and resizes just like the rest.
• Deleting an annotation is easier: select it and click the small X, with no keyboard shortcut to remember.
• Your annotation size sticks now: every new shot opens at the width you last used.
• Thumbnails open the editor on the first click, not the third or fourth.
• Adding or clearing a thumbnail no longer makes the on-screen stack flash or jump.
• More Windows 10 scrolling fixes: captures are reliable again, Enter always finishes, and Esc always backs you out.

v1.1.0

featureJune 12, 2026

Combine captures & Auto styles

• Combine up to eight screenshots into one image: drop a shot onto another and they snap into a tidy layout.
• Rearrange a combined shot however you like: pick a tile to re-dock it, drag it anywhere, or remove it, with undo for every step.
• Auto backgrounds grew up: choose from twenty live previews drawn from your shot's own colours, instead of taking the one look you used to get.
• A new Intensity slider sets how vivid or quiet those colours come out, so dark screenshots no longer end up grey.
• Updates can now install themselves overnight, only while you're away and never mid-capture. A new switch in Settings lets you handle updates yourself instead.
• Show or hide the history strip from anywhere: new global shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+H.
• Shots dragged out of QuipShot arrive with clean, readable file names.
• More Windows 10 fixes: scrolling captures can't get stuck at the start any more, Esc always backs you out, and a stray window no longer shows up pasted over your capture.
• Clicks land reliably everywhere: thumbnail cards no longer swallow the occasional click, and sliders respond to quick repeated taps.

v1.0.1

fixJune 11, 2026

Stability & Windows 10 polish

• Sign-in is now reliable on Windows 10.
• Scrolling captures wait as a thumbnail until you open them; the editor no longer launches on its own.
• Open several editor windows at once and work on different shots side by side, without losing your edits.
• Stitched captures export cleanly: no duplicate copies, and dark backgrounds save correctly.
• Snappier thumbnails, and a tidier editor layout on smaller windows.

v1.0.0

releaseJune 10, 2026

QuipShot 1.0

• Five ways to capture: a region, a window, the full screen, a scrolling page, or text lifted straight off the screen.
• A built-in colour picker: pinpoint any pixel on your screen and grab its exact colour in a click.
• True colour from HDR and high-DPI displays. What you see on screen is exactly what saves.
• Rock-solid on games, video and hardware-accelerated apps, where other tools leave you a black box.
• Mark up your shot right inside the capture overlay: fourteen tools, undo and redo, and live blur or pixelate to hide anything sensitive.
• A full editor whenever you want it: zoom to a single pixel, crop with a guide, and move or edit every arrow and label long after you drew it.
• Every shot lands on your clipboard and saves itself (PNG, JPEG or WebP), then floats as a thumbnail you can drag straight into any app.
• One global hotkey for each capture mode: press a key, get the shot.
• Light and dark themes, a quiet home in the system tray, launch on startup, and full multi-monitor support.

QuipShot updates quietly in the background, so you're always on the latest version.
