When it comes to screen capturing, most of the content editors here at Softonic use SnagIt<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s a powerful, reliable tool we\u2019ve grown to love over the years. But that doesn\u2019t mean there are other interesting alternative apps, like Screenpresso<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 a free, handy screen capturing tool I stumbled upon a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

\"Screenpresso\"<\/p>\n

Screenpresso is a bit different from SnagIt. It doesn\u2019t feature as many capturing modes or editing tools as Techsmith\u2019s tool. But\u00a0 it also has some clear advantages: it\u2019s free<\/strong>, it doesn\u2019t require installation<\/strong> and it works perfectly fine for most people\u2019s basic capturing and editing needs.<\/p>\n

When you launch Screenspresso, you can choose between installing the program or simply running it. In either case, Screenpresso icon in the system tray with direct access to the program\u2019s capturing modes and a history of captured images.<\/p>\n

The Region capture mode lets you grab any area on the desktop, but as it detects window edges<\/strong>, you can use it to capture active windows and applications as well. Also, if you have a transparent visual theme (like in Windows Vista and Windows 7), Screenpresso cleans the background<\/strong> for a perfect result.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve captured the image, you can edit it in the program\u2019s built-in editor<\/strong>, and add arrows, textboxes, several predefined shapes, borders and shadow effects. The best thing is that Screenpresso also lets you export the image directly into other editors<\/strong>, like Paint, Picasa \u2013 or SnagIt itself, if you have it installed.<\/p>\n

Finally, Screenpresso has another great feature: image sharing<\/strong>. Configure your account details in the program\u2019s settings, and you\u2019ll be able to share your screenshots by email or FTP, and also on Twitter, Gmail, Flickr, Evernote and Facebook.<\/p>\n
