ScreenRip32

ScreenRip32 is a lightweight and portable piece of software which enables you to easily capture the full screen, active window or fixed region, in order to save the images to file. It does not come equipped with complex options or configuration parameters, making it suitable for all types of users, even the ones with little or no previous experience in such applications.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the program files in any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to launch the app. Another possibility is to save ScreenRip32 to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.

What's more, the program does not alter Windows registry settings or create additional files on the disk without permission, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is user-friendly, represented by a classical window with a minimalistic layout, where all options can be accessed from the menus. You can capture the full screen, active window or fixed region, set ScreenRip32 to capture the photos as monochrome, 4-bit, 8-bit or highest quality, include or exclude the mouse cursor from the images, as well as save the photos with ICO, BMP, GIF or JPG extensions.

It is possible to specify the delay time for screen refreshing, show the program during captures, enable confirmation for image closing, hide the coordinates when taking snapshots, as well as customize hotkeys for each screen grabbing mode.
