PrintScreen Helper Portable

PrintScreen Helper Portable is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you improve the functionality of the Print Screen key.

This is the portable version of PrintScreen Helper. You can keep it stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices. The utility can be opened by running the executable file (there’s no installation included in the process).

The user interface is intuitive and embeds all configuration settings directly in the main window. There’s support for a help manual that reveals short descriptions about the program’s features.

PrintScreen Helper Portable gives you the possibility to select the saving directory where the screenshots are exported. You can make the application enable or disable the image preview mode and save the snapshots to a folder automatically. The tool can ask for the saving directory each time you capture images.

Other important features worth being mentioned enable you to minimize the screenshot window, run the utility at Windows startup and open it minimized, and show popup notifications when an image is captured. You can also reset the settings to the default ones.

By default, PrintScreen Helper Portable exports the snapshots to PNG file format. There are no other image formats supported. Tests have shown that the utility carries out a task quickly. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

All things considered, PrintScreen Helper Portable comes packed with basic features for helping you save screenshots taken with the Print Screen button to a user-defined location on your system. On the downside, it does not offer support for advanced options for helping you edit images by drawing free-hand designs using a pen and highlighting ideas, just to name some functions.
