Portable PicPick

Portable apps can be of great use, especially when you want to take them with you on a USB drive to access them from there, so you can access them from any machine. It's essentially all in the name of convenience, and Portable PicPick is very promising in that regard: capture your screen through the various tools provided, and even edit them within the app.

The interface of this app is reminiscent of the design Microsoft uses for its Windows Paint app, and it is a good call to have something similar here. Every feature is easy to access, and navigating through the program is a smooth experience overall. The fact that such an app is ready-to-go, without requiring installation, makes that even better.

While using the app, the screenshot-taking process went well, and upon capturing, we were able to edit our shots according to our preferences. Being able to put a watermark over our captures was neat, and the pixelate and blur options were useful at concealing what we needed.

Besides the usual full-screen and active window screenshot modes, a "Scrolling Window" capability could also be employed, whereby the app would capture a scrolling page and fit that into a singular screenshot.

The additional tools available under the Start menu were also useful. The functionality of the WhiteBoard function was the highlight for us: we could draw and annotate our screen, and upon completion, the app would automatically save the screenshot. The option to further edit that in the app is also worth mentioning.

The sharing integration is also of note. Your screenshots can be automatically uploaded to an online image hosting service, such as Imgur, a cloud solution, and on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and so forth. Inserting your captures into a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document is also possible through this menu.

PicPick is easy to pick up and use, and it's also portable, which means that you can take it with you, anytime, anywhere, without having to run an installer each time you want to put it on a new computer. Because of that and its numerous functionalities, this is a worthy app to consider if you want a versatile screenshot capturer.
