ImgurSniper Portable

With its Reddit roots, the widely loved and very popular Imgur is nowadays the go-to image sharing and image hosting service for millions of users worldwide.

If you're an active Imgur user who uploads and shares dozens of pictures of a daily basis, then read on, since you will certainly find the following app quite interesting.

Appropriately-named ImgurSniper Portable, it aims to provide with the fastest and most convenient way of capturing screenshots, recording GIFs, as well as of swiftly sharing them by uploading them to Imgur for you.

Not only this but since it's a portable app, you don't even need to install the thing on your computer and, thanks to its compact dimensions, it can always accompany you on a USB flash drive.

We'll start off with the basics. The app's fairly inconspicuous, it features tray integration, and it boasts a modern and highly functional UI that should please the large majority of nitpickers.

Hit the CTR+Shift+X keyboard combo, and you can take advantage of the app's super-cool-sounding Snipe mode which allows you to crop any part of your screen and automatically upload it to Imgur. The Snipe mode has another functionality, namely, it allows you to capture a screenshot of any active app or Explorer window.

To "snipe" a GIF press CTRL+Shift+G and select the desired screen area. You'll notice a blue progress bar below the gray area and please note that when this bar is full, the recording will automatically stop. It's also worth pointing out that the app also allows you to annotate your screenshots, quite useful for pointing out various relevant aspects.

The thing is, this app is a bit more than the sum of its parts. For example, by the default, the app uploads the captured images and GIFs to Imgur automatically and in a timely fashion, opens the link in your default browser and copies it to your computer's clipboard - convenience at its finest.

Last but not least, we should mention that the app is quite customizable, as well. You can change the hotkeys, you can select the image quality and format, as well as the maximum length and FPS for your GIFs. The only real-life drawback of the portable version when compared to the installer version is the lack of contextual menu integration, which, realistically speaking, is a small price to pay for the convenience of portability.

That said, the conclusion is pretty much straightforward: ImgurSniper Portable is a must have app for any Imgur user. This app brings a big dose of convenience, wrapped around a good looking and functional package.
