ACA Capture Pro

Screenshots aren’t just used for entertainment purposes, and can serve as valuable resources in testing, or even building tutorials. Regardless of intentions, specialized applications like ACA Capture Pro come as a complete solution to capture almost anything on your screen, in almost every possible way.

You might be a little surprised by the complex main window if you ever used other tools to take a screenshot apart from the keyboard button. However, the interface is pretty intuitive, with a side navigation panel for all types of recordings, a large list to show all items, and a rich toolbar to quickly initiate a recording session.

When it comes to capture methods, the list is no less than impressive, with options for full screen, active window, set of controls, tooltips, region, fixed region, polygon, circle, ellipse, menu, video, icon, web page content, as well as DirectX capture for video games, or specialized programs relying on this component.

All of them come with hotkey support, and there’s the possibility to customize. Pictures are automatically saved to different folders, and can always be accessed from the application’s main window. Needless to say that all destination folders can be configured to your liking. Moreover, a customizable scheduler can be configured to capture images with less effort.

Depending on the reason you want to grab a screenshot, the application lets you export to different image file formats, popular in computer use, print, videos of various types, sent via email, copied to clipboard, or exported to one of several Microsoft Office suite components, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

The main window acts as a screenshot organizer as well. You can have files renamed here, copied, or even moved to different locations. You can configure multiple editors to export pictures with no further tweaking requirements.

ACA Capture Pro manages to live up to expectations, coming with the tools to grab anything on your screen under the format, and file type you’re interested in. Hotkeys allow you to effortlessly trigger them, while the main window helps organize items in a pretty database. With all these, and various export options, the application needs to be part of every test, or entertainment PC.
