Automatic Print Screen

Automatic Print Screen is a small Windows application whose purpose is to help you take screenshots of your entire screen and save the images to a file on your computer.

You may store Automatic Print Screen on USB flash drives or other portable devices so you can have it with you all the time. A double-click on the executable file helps you access the tool’s GUI because you do not have to follow the preset steps included in an installation process.

Getting rid of the utility can be done by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet because it does not leave extra entries in your Windows registry. Plus, you can run it directly from the storage device without administrative privileges.

Automatic Print Screen sports a straightforward interface that gathers all configuration settings into a single window. A help manual is not included in the package, but you can quickly get an idea about how to make the most out of the program’s features because they look easy to work with.

The application offers you the possibility to capture snapshots by simply pressing on the ‘PrtScn’ key. The screenshots are saved to a user-defined folder on the disk.

What’s more, you can specify the name of the picture, export the pictures to BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO, or TIFF file format, as well as play sound notifications upon taking a new screenshot.

Tests have shown that Automatic Print Screen executes tasks quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. You may keep it running in the background.

To sum things up, Automatic Print Screen provides nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you capture the entire screen to an image, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you are not allowed to take snapshots of a user-defined screen region, embed text/image watermarks, and automatically capture images at a custom time interval, just to name some suggestions.
