1PushSnap

More often than not, when trying to take a screenshot on your PC without a third-party tool, you need to follow a relatively lengthy process. More precisely, you need to press Alt + Ctrl + Print Screen, then Ctrl + C, then open Paint and press Ctrl + V.

1PushSnap is a lightweight and portable tool designed to reduce the aforementioned process to a single button, namely Print Screen.

The app is portable so all you need to do is download, decompress and run the executable to get started. The program does not have an interface, but you can configure everything from the System Tray, starting with toggling the app’s effects on and off.

Functionality wise, the application is as simple to use as it looks, meaning that taking a screenshot entails simply pressing the Print Screen key. It goes without saying that you can specify the folder where the images are going to be saved, a feature that may come in handy if you want to organize the screenshots as you take them. At the same time, you can select the format of the images, the choices here being JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF.

The program includes a few extra settings, such as Start - 1 Push screenshot that signals you when the app is active by turning the icon orange or Start - Ignore key type and Start - Ignore mouse type that ignores inputs from the keyboard and mouse, respectively.

In the eventuality that you are accustomed to taking snapshots via the classic way on your PC and are not a big fan of using advanced-third party tools, then perhaps you can consider giving 1PushSnap a try. While the application does not bring anything new to taking screenshots, it does considerably simplify the entire process.
