Screen Capture

Screen Capture is a small Windows application developed specifically for helping you take snapshots and save the images to your computer. It can be distributed on all Windows flavors out there.

This is a portable program. You can store it on USB flash drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. You may run it without administrative privileges.

Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no setup included in the process. It does not write entries to your Windows registry and leave other configuration files on the target PC. It actually saves the settings data on the storage device.

Screen Capture reveals a minimalist user interface which has to offer only a few configuration settings. You cannot find a help manual included in the package but you can learn to tweak the dedicated parameters on your own because they look very easy to work with.

The application gives you the possibility to capture the entire screen or a user-defined region of the desktop. As soon as you finish with taking a screenshot, the tool allows you to export the taken snapshot to PNG, BMP, JPG, or GIF file format, as well as specify the filename.

Tests have pointed out that Screen Capture takes screenshots really quickly. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background.

To sum things up, Screen Capture provides only basic features for helping you capture essential parts of your screen, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you cannot capture a custom window and application, embed watermarks, make use of hotkeys, include/exclude the mouse cursor, apply shadow effects, and automatically save screenshots to the disk, just to name a few suggestions.
