Pointframe is an open-source screen capture and recording application for Windows, published by Dimitar Radenkov and currently available at version 6.7.12 across a catalog of 74 released versions. The software falls into the screen capture and annotation category and is designed for users who need a lightweight tool to grab, mark up, and share visual content from their desktop. Its workflow centers on the Print Screen key: pressing it allows the user to draw a capture region, which can then be annotated using arrows, shapes, text, blur effects, and numbered steps, making it suitable for creating documentation, tutorials, bug reports, and instructional materials. Once a capture has been taken and annotated, the result can be copied directly to the clipboard for quick pasting into other applications, or pinned to the desktop as a floating, always-on-top window so that reference material remains visible while working. Beyond static screenshots, Pointframe also supports recording the screen to MP4 video files, with the option to include microphone audio, which extends its usefulness to scenarios such as producing walkthroughs, demonstrations, or narrated training clips. A built-in optical character recognition feature allows users to extract text from any screenshot, which can be valuable when working with content that cannot be selected or copied conventionally. The publisher describes the application as operating without a subscription requirement and without telemetry, positioning it as a privacy-conscious alternative in a category where many comparable tools rely on recurring fees or data collection. Taken together, its combination of region capture, annotation tools, floating pinned windows, MP4 screen recording, and OCR extraction gives Pointframe a broad set of use cases for developers, technical writers, support staff, educators, and general Windows users who regularly need to capture and communicate on-screen information.
