As we've mentioned before, here at Softonic we have to take lots of screenshots everyday, so we need a screen capturing program that is simple to use, doesn't hog system resources and can provide us with a wide range of tools. After trying out a few, I must say Screenshot Captor meets all these requirements and does a great job.
Screenshot Captor enables you to capture images in a variety of ways, ranging from the active window to a fixed size zone and including objects, scrolling windows (great for capturing sites from top to bottom) and even your entire working space, which means that if you have multiple monitors Screenshot Captor will capture all of them. These capturing modes are conveniently available from a system tray icon and also via customizable keyboard shortcuts.
But the best is yet to come: Screenshot Captor includes an excellent set of filters and special effects for your screenshots: frames, borders, shadow effects, arrows and a lot more. We tried all of them and were satisfied with the results, although we missed the possibility to undo actions beyond the last step. We also had problems with Screenshot Captor when trying to apply certain effects; the trick here is to make sure the image is not selected, as Screenshot Captor tends to select everything after taking a shot and this may interfere with other tools. Despite this, we found some really good tools in Screenshot Captor like the possibility to automatically generate thumbnails from images or a zoom that can go up to an impressive 999%. You can actually see every single pixel in the image!
In general, Screenshot Captor features so many possibilities that you may feel a bit overwhelmed at the beginning. Our advice is to be patient and give the program a chance - it's really worth it.
We have analyzed the latest version of Screenshot Captor with 30 antivirus engines and it is virus free. See analysis results.
TESTED VIRUS FREE - Softonic GUARANTEEDIf, for any reason, you need to make screenshot captures relatively frequently (or only on occasion), Screenshot Captor is the ideal program, as much for its usability as for its characteristics and advantages, which include all that is necessary in this type of program.
Since it allows you to assign a number of distinct keyboard combinations for each type of capture (active window, entire screen, region to Clipboard…) it is optimized to make multiple consecutive captures with little intervention from the user. It also keeps saving the files in the folder that you assigned, using correlative names included in a folder.
Once you have all your captures, you will be able to set a series of effects like retrieving one part of the image while the rest remains hidden or of a grayish tone, tracing a colour square to retrieve a certain area of the capture or setting a shade effect to the whole image. Screenshot Captor also includes an integrated file manager that can be configured to open the captured image directly in your favorite graphics editor, even though it also offers a variety of customization possibilities.
