LelShotter

While Windows does come with a basic screenshot capture tool, there are plenty of alternatives out there that offer additional features or are just better suited for certain types of users. If you want to quickly upload your images, for example, you will need to rely on a third-party utility.

LelShotter is a fairly simple, open-source program that enables you to grab screenshots using hotkeys, and then save them locally or upload them to Imgur. It doesn’t offer a lot of features, but it is unobtrusive and very easy to use.

First of all, it should be noted that this application is remarkably simple to deploy. It doesn’t need to be installed before launch, and it is automatically minimized to the system tray when run.

However, it would be a good idea to check the application’s settings before capturing any screenshots, as you want to make sure they are saved in the right location and your preferred output format is used.

LelShotter enables you to capture the entire desktop or a specific area. You can use hotkeys to trigger these actions, but the key combinations are not customizable.

The application can save your screenshots locally or upload them to Imgur, and you can also choose to have the image or URL be copied to the clipboard as well.

Everything worked quite smoothly during our tests, and you can even disable the tray notifications to keep the application as unobtrusive as possible.

When it comes down to it, LelShotter doesn’t offer any particularly impressive features, but it can serve as a great alternative to more complex screenshot utilities. It is worth mentioning that the program is still in the early stages of development, so you might run into the occasional bug.
