PrtScr

PrtScr is a small but very powerful screenshot utility that supports full-screen, rectangle or freehand screen captures.

Once installed, the app places an icon in the Windows System Tray and lets you take a new screenshot with minimum effort.

What’s more, hotkey support is also available, so pressing a user-defined keyboard shortcut also allows you to access its features on the go.

As said, PrtScr is capable of capturing full screen, rectangle or freehand selections or even an active window, with a dedicated option to capture mouse cursor too. Besides the fact that it can work with multi-monitors configurations, PrtScr can export screenshots to three different formats, namely JPG, BMP and PNG.

Aside from all of these, the app also provides an integrated auto-saving feature, which means that each screenshot you take is automatically exported to desktop without any user interaction. It can even add a title and comment, while dedicated format properties let you configure JPG quality and PNG transparency.

PrtScr works impressively smooth on all Windows versions and it doesn’t even ask for administrator privileges. It can be safely installed by both rookies and professional users, even though a help manual is missing completely.

All things considered, PrtScr is one of the best app in this category, offering not only a very effective screenshot taking engine, but also plenty of options to manage all these screenshots. You can edit, save, print, copy to clipboard or email a new screenshot on the go, all through a professional-looking GUI.
