AeroShot

AeroShot is a program designed to capture active windows and save images to file. It contains several approachable settings that can be tackled with ease.

The interface is user-friendly, represented by a single window that holds all settings put at your disposal, giving you an overview of everything. The currently open windows are automatically identified at startup and listed in a drop-down menu, so you can pick any one of them to capture it.

Before doing so, you can tinker with screenshot options when it comes to the save mode (save to disk or just copy to Clipboard), along with the destination directory.

Moreover, you can resize the images to a fixed width and height, include the mouse cursor, as well as make the background opaque instead of transparent. In case of the opaque mode enabled, you can opt for a checkboard-styled background and set the checker size, or choose a solid color and select it.

The captured window is brought up the screen when triggering the action, after which the new image is saved to the specified directory with the PNG format and named after the corresponding window. If you're grabbing multiple screenshots of the same window, the original files are not overwritten. Instead, the new filenames are numerically incremented.

As long as you have .NET Framework installed, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the downloaded .exe file to a custom directory on the disk or copy it to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly run AeroShot on any PC with Microsoft's platform installed. It doesn't create files on the disk without your knowledge, nor does it integrate new entries into the Windows registry.

Unfortunately, images are saved with the border transparency and this cannot be disabled. Otherwise, AeroShot offers simple and effective options for swiftly capturing active windows.
