Super Snipper

Finding the right screenshot utility is not as simple as you might think. The Snipping Tool that comes with Windows is decent enough, but it lacks advanced features and does not allow you to upload images to any hosting services.

Super Snipper is a portable, open-source utility that seeks to provide you with an alternative to Snipping Tool. It features a similar layout, but it enables you to grab multiple snapshots and upload images to Imgur.

To grab a snapshot, simply click the New button or use the Alt+N hotkey. A selection box will be displayed, allowing you to define the area on your desktop that you wish to include. It is even possible to set a delay when performing a capture.

The image will be displayed in the main window, and you can capture a maximum of 10 snapshots before saving anything. You can scroll through them, bring up a preview and delete the ones you aren’t happy with.

After capturing one or more snapshots, it is time to decide what to do with them. Once you’ve removed the unnecessary ones, you can just save all of them to a specified folder.

Alternatively, you can choose to upload images to Imgur for easy sharing. To do so, you need to click the Export to Imgur button and then click on the snapshot you wish to upload. A link will be generated that can then be copied to the clipboard.

However, the upload process is a bit too cumbersome. A confirmation message is displayed whenever you try to export an image, and the URL cannot be copied to the clipboard automatically. Also, it is not possible to create Imgur albums.

As a screenshot application, Super Snipper isn’t all that impressive. It offers a similar set of features to the Windows Snipping Tool, but it supports only a single capture mode and does not allow you to edit your images.

The biggest reason to use this program is the fact that it enables you to upload snapshots to Imgur. If you need a quick way to share captures with others, it may be worth a try.
