Bandicam launches ZunShot for Windows screen capture and annotation

Bandicam Company has released ZunShot, a lightweight Windows app for screenshots, annotations and text extraction. The launch expands Bandicam’s software lineup beyond video recording as it targets workers, educators and support teams that need to capture and share on-screen information quickly.

Why it matters: - ZunShot is aimed at users who rely on screenshots to explain work, document issues and share instructions. - The app combines capture, annotation, OCR, redaction and sharing tools in one Windows program. - Bandicam Company is extending its product line from screen recording into still-image communication.

What happened: - Bandicam Company officially released ZunShot for Windows on October 13, 2026. - ZunShot is available on Windows 10 and 11 in 64-bit versions. - The app is available now on the company website and on the Microsoft Store.

The details: - ZunShot offers a transparent, resizable capture frame that previews the exact area to be captured. - Users can capture the full screen, a single window or a region selected with the mouse. - Global hotkeys let users take screenshots without opening the app first. - Instant Capture freezes the screen so users can capture menus, tooltips, hover states and moving content at the right moment. - The built-in editor includes pen, highlighter, shapes, arrows, text and numbered steps. - The editor also supports crop, resize and rotate tools. - Multiple images can be opened as tabs, and the session is restored when the app starts again. - Scroll capture can turn long web pages and documents into one tall image. - OCR can recognize text inside a capture, let users copy it and translate it into another language. - Text extraction is free and runs locally on the PC using the Windows OCR engine. - ZunShot can find sensitive text and mask it before sharing. - The redaction tool can detect email addresses, phone numbers, national ID numbers, credit card numbers, labeled numbers such as Tel, Fax or Customer No., and street addresses. - Captures can be hidden with mosaic or solid redaction, and manual mosaic and redaction tools are also included. - A captured image can be pinned on top of other windows for reference. - Captures can be saved as PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF, copied to the clipboard, printed or uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. - ZunShot installs in under 8 MB. - The only component that stays resident is a small tray icon, while the editor opens only when needed. - The interface is available in 18 languages. - Saving, copying and printing an unedited capture is free with no time limit. - Annotated images include a ZunShot watermark. - ZunShot Pro removes the watermark and costs $2.99 per month or $14.99 per year.

Between the lines: - Bandicam is positioning ZunShot as a faster alternative to using separate screenshot, editing and redaction tools. - The free OCR feature and local processing may appeal to users who handle routine documentation and want to avoid extra software. - The small install size and tray-based setup suggest Bandicam is targeting a lightweight workflow rather than a full desktop suite.

What's next: - Bandicam will likely use ZunShot to deepen its presence in productivity and documentation software. - The subscription tier gives the company a paid path while keeping basic capture functions free. - The product’s value will hinge on whether users adopt it as a daily screenshot workflow instead of a one-off capture utility.**
