Snipaste

Snipaste is a simple yet powerful screenshot tool that also supports the ability to paste images directly onto the screen. This makes it much more convenient for you to view the captured images, effectively enhancing your work efficiency.

Download and open Snipaste. Press F1 to start taking a screenshot, and then press F3 to make the screenshot appear at the top of the desktop. That’s all there is to it!

Snipaste is a free software that contains no advertisements and is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. In addition to being available for download from its official website, it has also been listed in the Microsoft App Store, where users can search for it and download it directly.

Disadvantages:The only drawback of the free version of Snipaste, in my opinion, is that it does not support taking long screenshots. If you have additional requirements, you can always consider purchasing its paid version.
