Pinned Windows

A pinned window is a small, floating, always-on-top copy of your screenshot that stays visible while you work in other applications — handy for following along with a tutorial, comparing designs, or keeping reference text on screen.

Pinning requires an activated license. See Plans & Pricing and Activating Your License.

Pinning a screenshot

From the editor, press Ctrl/Cmd+P (or use the pin action in the footer) to pin the current canvas as a floating window.

If Show preview after taking screenshot is enabled (see Settings), the preview window that appears after a capture is itself a pinned-style floating window.

Interacting with a pinned window

  • Move it — click and drag anywhere on the pinned window to reposition it.
  • Zoom — hold Ctrl (Windows) / Cmd (macOS) and scroll to zoom in or out around your cursor.
  • Zoom controls — the footer of the pinned window has buttons for original size (100%), fit to window, and a custom zoom level.
  • Close it — on Windows, hover over the top-right corner to reveal a close button. On macOS, use the standard window close control.

Sending it back to the editor

Double-click a pinned window, or use its context menu, to send the screenshot back to the editor for further edits.

Tips

  • Pinned windows are great for keeping a step-by-step guide or design reference visible while you work in another app.
  • You can pin multiple screenshots at once — each becomes its own floating window.
