ScrnSnap

In the old days, we used to take snapshots of the screen by hitting the PrintScreen key and pasting the image in Paint. Today, we can find countless applications for this purpose. A shining example is ScrnSnap, which gives you the possibility of taking screenshots instantly. It can store your snapshots, according to various settings, without too much user input. All you have to do is press a combination of keys and the application will do the rest.

You can have ScrnSnap up and running in no time, without going through an installation process. All you have to do is extract its files from an archive, which is only 165 KB. The application works on all popular Windows platforms, it doesn't have any significant impact on the computer's performance and you don't have to meet any special requirements.

The application's functionality is straightforward. You only need to use a keyboard combination, while the application is running. Its compact user interface contains all the options you need to specify how to capture the screen and where to store the screenshots. You can define your own keyboard shortcut, target a certain area of the screen, choose an output path and set up a destination folder.

The application is capable of capturing the entire screen, active windows or a custom area. Once you press your defined combination of keys, ScrnSnap will store the screenshots instantly, according to your settings. If you set it to capture a custom area, you must use a grabber before it stores any screenshots. Snapshots can be stored in various formats, including JPG, PNG, BMP, TIF and others.
