Free Capture

Free Capture is a small software application developed specifically for helping you take screenshots and save the images to your computer so you can easily share them with your friends.

The tool is portable and can be stored on pen drives or other similar devices so you can have it with you all the time. No administrative privileges are needed for running it. Plus, you may open it straight from the storage device.

It proves to be very easy to gain access to its interface because a double-click on the executable file helps you accomplish the job. It does not populate your Windows registry with extra entries and generate additional setup items so you may uninstall it with a deletion task.

The GUI of Free Capture can be decoded in a short amount of time because it looks highly intuitive. Only a few configuration parameters are embedded into a single window. You cannot read more about the tool’s features in a help manual, but you can set up the entire process on your own.

Free Capture offers you the possibility to capture a user-defined region of the screen. By default, the application shows a small panel that lets you preview the area that you are about to capture. Plus, you are allowed to adjust the size of the selection tool in order to pick the preferred area of the desktop.

Aside from the user-defined screenshot mode, the utility lets you take screenshots full screen. The snapshots can be previewed directly in the primary panel. They are automatically revealed as soon as you take a screenshot.

What’s more, you can export the screenshots to BMP file format. Tests have pointed out that Free Capture takes snapshots quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so it does not hamper your computer’s performance.

If you are looking for nothing more than a simple screenshot application, Free Capture is the answer to your questions. The poor support for advanced parameters makes it suitable especially for less experienced users. You cannot export the pictures to JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF, and other file formats, capture a specific window, and apply editing functions, just to name a few suggestions.
