CaptureGraphicsWin2D

CaptureGraphicsWin2D is a simple screenshot tool for Windows 11 that uses the Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D API to capture windows with alpha channel and save them as PNG.

This allows you to capture windows with transparency:

• windows with rounded borders
• windows with shadows (e.g. context menu)
• windows with transparent surfaces (e.g. taskbar)

Command-line Usage

Capture all open windows:

powershell: Select all

CaptureGraphicsWin2D "C:\Captures"

Capture a specific open window:

powershell: Select all

CaptureGraphicsWin2D "C:\Captures" "Shell_TrayWnd"

Motivation

I was not able to find a screenshot tool that was able to capture the Windows 11 Files context menu / Windows 11 taskbar / etc with alpha channel for transparency.
