Lightscreen

Users who need to capture and upload multiple screenshots on a daily basis can end up wasting a lot of valuable time, as these operations are quite tedious when performed the old fashioned way.

Lightscreen is a lightweight, easy-to-use and versatile utility that offers an impressive set of screen capture functions and can even upload your images automatically. It is fully customizable and can also be run in portable mode.

The application allows you to take a screenshot of the entire desktop, specific windows or a certain area. It even comes equipped with a handy window picker that can make your job easier.

These functions can be activated from the main interface or by relying on user-defined hotkeys. Screenshots can be saved to JPG, BMP or PNG, and you also have the option of setting up a personalized file naming scheme.

One of Lightscreen’s most noteworthy features is its ability to upload screen captures to Imgur and various other hosting websites automatically. These uploads are anonymous by default, but you can also enter your Imgur account credentials to add the pictures directly to an existing album.

Optionally, you can have the program display a preview of the image that has just been captured, thus making it easier to ensure only good pictures are uploaded.

During the setup process, you have the option of installing Lightscreen as a portable program, which means it will not store data in any other location on your hard drive or add new registry entries. You will be able to place it on a portable storage device and use it on the go.

Whichever installation method you choose, the program will run quietly in the system tray when it is not being used, so it should not get in your way, and its resource impact is minimal.

To sum up, Lightscreen is a fast, fully-configurable and versatile screen capture utility that offers an impressive array of features and can even upload images automatically. It is lightweight and easy to use, and it can also be installed as a portable application.
