JScreenShot Taker

ScreenShot Taker is a small software application whose purpose is to help you take screenshots of your entire desktop and save the images to JPG file format. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Java working environment installed on the host PC.

It’s easy to work with JScreenShot Taker because you do not have to follow the preset steps included in an installation process. You only need to run the executable file. Plus, you may drop the utility on pen drives or other similar devices so you can carry it with you all the time.

It does not leave remnants in your Windows registry and create additional configuration files so you can get rid of it by deleting the item that you have downloaded from the Internet. The tool can be opened straight from the storage device and without having to possess administrative privileges.

JScreenShot Taker does not let you take screenshots via a graphical user interface. You are offered the possibility to capture your entire desktop by simply double-clicking on the executable file. The tool automatically reveals a saving dialog at the end of the process, and lets you set the filename and specify the output directory.

By default, the snapshots are exported to JPG file format. Tests have pointed out that JScreenShot Taker carries out a task quickly and without errors. It provides very good output quality. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not burdened.

On the downside, there’s no support for advanced features so you cannot capture a user-defined region of the screen, active window, and object, edit screenshots by embedding arrows and text messages, and insert text and image watermarks, just to name a few suggestions.

In conclusion, if you are looking for nothing more than a simple software solution for taking screenshots, you may give JScreenShot Taker a try and see what it can do for you. It is suitable especially for less experienced users.
