Which version should you purchase?
- If you prefer a more secure download and trusted application source, go with the Microsoft Store version. In addition, If you have any concerns about buying from this site, you will have to choose the Microsoft Store version. In this case, you may need to purchase directly from Microsoft Store.
- If you want the portable version, or if Microsoft Store is blocked and the only option is the regular version, or if you just prefer regular offline installer, go with the desktop version.
WindowTop is FREE, However, you will not get the best from the free version!
The paid version includes what we call “Pro Features” which will be released over time to people who have the paid version. WindowTop PRO is being purchased by hundreds of people for its advanced Features:
What’s included in the paid version?
NEW! From v5.4.0 we developed new mode for the Shrink/PIP feature! Now it will automatically move the shrunk window to areas without text or image
NEW! From v5.2.0 we developed new mode for the Shrink/PIP feature! Now you can even control the window while it is in PIP mode! See the video below!
More information about this feature and how to use it here
NEW! From v5.4.0 We developed an innovative way to pick a window! It a faster than the ALT+TAB method and can be perfect for touch screens. It may also reduce the need to set window on top because they are too accessible
Watch videos/windows in small view-box while you do your work. You can shrink window and enable for it live preview by right click on the shrink box and select “Enable live preview”.
Get a bigger preview of the window content when the mouse is above the shrink-box, and even enable transparency effect with click-through enabled
Set any window to be dark without affecting the images inside it and automatically disable dark mode the window is already dark (unlike in the free version)
Work on your stuff while you see its results behind using exclusive transparency effect! (* Windows 10 Only)
No need to manually enable every time some feature to the selected window. For example, you can set window on top one time and then WindowTop will automatically set it on top for you when you open the window again
Every window on top will be marked with a red frame so it will be more easy for you to know which window is on top

Can I get one for free?
No,
It is very hard to develop it so it can’t be free.
Actually there is even a chance that the price will be higher in the future.
5.99$ is low price 🙂
But you always can use the limited version if you want.
Is this meant to be a life time key – means can be used to activate any new minor and major program version ?
Yes, any key that you buy now does not have such limitation.
I’m interested in the PRO version, but it’s not clear how to activate it. Where do I enter the activation key??
Follow these steps:
1. Right-click on WIndowTop tray icon
2. Go to “WindowTop Pro” -> Click on the first item
3. A new window should open. Click on the button “Activate / Buy now”
4. A small window should open. In this window, you can paste the activation key.
Paste the activation key and then click on “Activate now”
At this point, if the key is valid, the program should be activated.
Enjoy

Hello, as you said, the activation license key can be used for up to 3 computers. I’d like to know whether the license can be transferred between devices? I usually work in a VM, and I don’t want to buy a license every time I destroy the VM.
Hello, if you use the portable version (not the version you install) you should be safe.
But please note that in the portable version some of the pro functionality is disabled and it is: dark mode pro and smart transparency
Other pro functionalities such as the How to watch videos while working (PIP Mode) will be available also in the portable version.
We plan to add option to remove computers from the activation key so you will able to use it as solution for the installed version.
For now, if you don’t need the pro functionality that disabled in the portable version, the good option is to use the portable version.
Hi, I recently got locked out of activating because I got a new motherboard and had to activate a few times in a row, are there any estimates when the clear activations feature is coming?
Hello, we decided that it will be done in v5.5.x
You will have the option to do it from the software itself.
For now, you can contact us and we will reset the key for you.
Hello,
It is already developed but has not been released yet as the final version.
For now, you can download the non-final version with this feature from here:
https://github.com/BiGilSoft/WindowTop/issues/134#issuecomment-915542347
What if I lose my license email?
Can I transfer the license to another computer?
Hello,
1. if you lose your license email, contact us on http://windowtop.info/contact and if we have a record of your purchase, we will send you the activation key.
But it is highly recommended to backup the license key for your computer.
2. We should provide option to remove computer from the license key. For now, there is no such option yet.
If you want to transfer the license key to another computer, contact us about your request and we will do it for you.
WindowTop is so useful, I use it for SO many things while I’m working.
I LOVE IT. It’s probably one of my two favorite computer things (the other one is a foot switch/pedal, which means I can make things happen on my computer just by pressing one of the three pedals at my feet).
Great to hear!
Thanks for your feedback!
I am Chinese, I want to buy a pro, can I use Alipay WeChatpay or Applepay?
Hello,
You can purchase the program from https://www.lizhi.io/
We recently started to work with this store for Chinese customers who can’t use PayPal
I am Japanese.
I would like to purchase via PayPal with my email address.
Can I just send the money to gileli121@gmail.com?
Yes,
Please send another email after you purchased it.
I don’t get an option to Purchase when i come to this page (unless i am missing it?)
Can I use the PRO version at work? The comparison table shows that the PRO version is not suitable for company usage.
Hello, Yes you can.
There is probably a mistake in the comparison table that caused it to be not clear.
I will fix it now.
Thanks
Does the PRO Version make it possible to define any window of the same program to have sticky settings? Specifically I would like any explorer-window to have alphatransparency…
Ok, I activated the trial and could answer my question myself: by saving the state for an explorer window all explorer windows take over that state.
I do have one problem though, and that is that the WindowTop controls (the little arrow) sometimes to not appear at all in maximized windows, or get shown on the far right above the windos controls without offset even though the toolbar is set to appear centered.
Hi, Sorry about the issue.
Please open issue under https://github.com/BiGilSoft/WindowTop/issues and explain exactly in what windows it happens.
Or you can send the issue description via https://windowtop.info/contact/
Thanks.
I really loved this software. I came across with it because I was trying to solve some issues while streaming on Twitch. I wanted to have my real chat on top of the game, but also, being able to modify transparency and size.
One thing I’m not sure if its possible: Can you capture an specific part of one window? For example: I would like to capture only the “chat” box of an entire website I’m navigating. It would be interesting if you can “Crop” your selection and then shrink it as a pop up window. Is this possible or it’s not a function implemented on the PRO version?
Once again, thanks a lot for this amazing software 🙂
Hello,
Thanks for your great feedback!
Currently, it is not possible.
But there is a good chance that I will implement this request in the future.
Hi, I’m interested in a crop feature as well.
Likewise, interested!
Also interested in a crop feature!
We created task for this request:
https://github.com/BiGilSoft/WindowTop/issues/133
Does this works on Windows 11?
Yes, according to users it works.
But there are few minor bugs that reported and not fixed yet and we will work on fix soon.
Hi, this product is very helpful and is exactly what I was looking for. There is one problem though, when I click the green arrow, no menu comes down. I’m not sure if this is a general problem or a problem on my end. Hoping you could help out, thanks!
Yes, it is a bug.
It was never implemented that way that clicking on it opening the toolbar.
But it should do it if you click on it.
So need to fix it.
Thanks for the report
Very useful, looking for more refined UI, Keep it up, this app is really made my work a lot easy 👍
Great!
The UI is already upgraded from v4.
What do you expect exactly?
Can I ask what is the most useful feature for you that helps your productivity?
Thanks for your feedback!
hello, i just upgraded to the paid version. how can I use the smart dark mode. or, how can i check if i’m using it?
thank you so much in advance
Hello, you first need to enable the button in the toolbar.
To do it, right-click on the WIndowTop icon in the tray and then Settings–>All Settings.
In the window that opened, select the toolbar icon.
There you will see a list of buttons that you can enable/disable.
Find the “Dark-Dark” option and enable it.
Now you should have the button enabled.
Open the toolbar on some windows and you will see the new button.
When you click on the button, dark mode will be activated.
You will also see the option “Filter Images”. This option is unchecked by default and will work only on premium mode.
To enable the “Smart dark mode”, just click on this option.
If you have more questions/issues, feel free to ask.
