SnapShot

Taking screenshots of the desktop can be quite an annoying process if you use the native Windows methods, which involve pressing the Print Screen button and pasting the shot into an image editor. SnapShot is a small tool that was designed to help you grab images of the active screen.

The program has a simple interface that should be easy to figure out by all users, thanks to the intuitive layout.

There are plenty of options available with this program, letting you customize it completely. You may create multiple profiles for the various types of tasks. Each can be assigned an access key that is completely customizable. For instance, you may choose what combination you want, whether it involves the Control, Alt or Shift keys.

Also, you can select a screen configuration, letting you choose if to grab a picture of the active window or of one of the screens connected to the computer. The files can be saved to several image formats, such as JPEG, GIF and PNG. A target location should be assigned as well.

The screenshots can be uploaded to an online profile or to a FTP server automatically.

SnapShot is a nice tool that is very light on the computer’s resources. Less experienced users shouldn’t worry about anything, since the program is easy to handle, thanks to its overall simplicity.
