Window Clippings is a Microsoft Windows software application that enables users to capture screenshots from open windows and menus so that the transparency (alpha channel) of target window is also captured. This includes shadows and translucent glass areas produced by Windows Aero in Windows Vista and 7.

Window Clippings 2.0.28 was the last freeware version. Version 2.1.16 and onwards watermark the screenshots in the lower right corner (version 2) or in the center (version 3) of each image.

Window Clippings supports add-ins which extend its functionality. Window Clippings 2.1 comes with a handful of add-ins that enable it to send taken screenshots directly to Paint.NET or Microsoft OneNote.
