Lightshot, your screen capture partner

I'm solving multiple issues, like instructions for new employees, talking via pictures with developers, with those they can understand the things I'm pointing out, it's an entire new world to add an arrow or text to a picture and you can do it in real time.

PROS

I think the most liked thing about Lightshot is the ease of use and installation process, it can be made in 5 minutes and never worry about it again, you just install and start using it, configuration is easy, and you never miss again a really good screenshot with annotations.

CONS

I think maybe they could add an option-based toolkit, or give the ability to select new positions for them, the things I mostly use are far apart from each other, they could be closer. Regardless, the software is impeccable and I vouch for it 100%.

I am so glad I discovered this application! I love it

Lightshot is the best so far. I am yet to discover an application that beats Lightshot within the same functionality framework.

PROS

Lightshot is definitely my best application as far for taking screenshots is concerned. Recently I had to write a technical user manual that involved me taking a lot of screenshots and making edits to them and lightshot was such a life saver. I was dreading to start the work altogether but once my colleague showed me how to use Lightshot, I fell in love with the application minutes afterwards and I ended up finishing my user manual sooner than I thought I would . Lightshot make the process easy and most importantly fun!What makes me love Lightshot the most is the fact that you can take a screenshot, and make edits to it in real time before saving it for use. This makes the process so much faster. Other screenshot taking options like snipping tool only provide you an option to take the screenshot but if you want to make edits to the screenshot, you will have to use a different application for that. That is quite tiring and not user friendly at all.

CONS

So far, there is nothing specific I can point out as a disadvantage or something I like least about Lightshot. I am a happy user and would recommend anyone who has not tried Lightshot to do so.

Reasons for switching to Lightshot

Lightshot is way more awesome than snipping tool from the description above of the reasons why I love Lightshot

Instant and Unique Screenshots

I think Lightshot is the best at where it is. It's super easy to use, very convenient to share, and also has editing tools supporting it. It's available for free and hence no complaints about it.

PROS

Lightshot is a free program that offers a quick and easy way to capture a screen including basic editing tools. It's lightweight and easy to use the software. Lightshot offers the flexibility to capture any part/area of the screen. Not just that but one can also edit their photos instantly with their editing tool. With the editing tools, you can add your own creativity to the picture with text annotations, patterns, shapes, and much more. You can also instantly upload your screenshot to their server at one click and can share it easily using the link, which is shortened for ease of use. Another amazing feature is the Hotkey's feature, you can set your own shortcuts to capture screenshots instantly with ease.

CONS

So far I didn't face any problems using this software. Since Lightshot is free software, its features compare far more worthy than paid software. Hence there are no big issues with it.

Capture any part of your browser screen easily

Using Lightshot has been a generally positive experience. It's easy to use, straightforward and captures screenshots quickly. The annotation options are basic but effective, and I love how lightweight it is. The only downsides are the lack of customization options and the slow loading times. All in all, Lightshot is a great tool for basic screenshot needs.

PROS

I like Lightshot software because it makes taking screenshots so easy and quick. It's super intuitive and user friendly; the range of capture options is great, and I especially like the annotation capabilities. It's also lightweight and doesn't take up much space, so I don't have to worry about bogging down my computer. Overall, Lightshot is an excellent tool for taking and annotating screenshots quickly and easily.

CONS

What I least like about Lightshot is its limited annotation options. I wish there were more options to customize the text, draw shapes, or even annotate with images. Additionally, I find it can be slow to load sometimes, and I wish the interface were a bit more intuitive. There also seems to be a lack of support for mobile capturing, which is a bit of a bummer. Lightshot isn't the most feature-rich screenshot software, but it does the job for basic tasks.

The best tool for taking screenshots

As a Software QA Engineer I need to take screenshots for the proof of any defect or issues, so I was looking for a light weight screenshot tool that can able to take the screenshot as quick as possible. And after using many tools I discover Lightshot is the tool that I’m looking for actually. It’s very easy to use and a quick responsive tool.

PROS

It’s actually a browser extension so no need to install any software in your local machine, completely free to use and its support most of the popular browser. Very easiest way to take a screenshot of a website – just need to click on the icon and it will be taking you to the separate tab for editing and resizing the screenshots. You can mark, draw, and write any text during the editing. You can also directly upload, copy, save, share to social media and print the screenshot from the editing screen. Lastly, the tool is very simple to use and much more worthy.

CONS

I do not find much negative side for this tool except few like, sometimes it stuck and taking few seconds to load the editing tab. And another one is, after copying the URL of the screenshot the editing tab is closed automatically, but from my own perspective the editing tab should not be closed and should keep open until I manually closed the tab.

Lightshot; the fastest way to take a screenshot!

I use the Lightshot whenever I want to save or share any information while browsing the internet or working on my device. Also, sometimes I use this for searching similar images on Google.

PROS

It is a free, lightweight (2.56 MB), simple and convenient screenshot tool. You can take a screenshot of any part/area of a screen and edit with its own editor tool which consists of Pen, Line, Arrow, Rectangle, Text, and Color. You can upload your screenshot on the server by just clicking "upload", and then you will get a link that you can share on any social media platform or anywhere. You can also save your screenshot on your computer/laptop. The "hotkeys" makes Lightshot a faster screenshot tool; it has its own hotkey for almost every task like: • Screenshot - PrtSc • Edit - Ctrl + E • Maximize - Ctrl + A • Copy - Ctrl + C • Save - Ctrl + S • Upload - Ctrl + D You can also take a printout of your screenshot.

CONS

When you edit your screenshot on your mobile, might you have problems using the "Rectangle" and "Circle" features. You can't remove its mobile notification until you choose to "STOP SERVICE".

Fantastica estensione per crop video veloci e esplicativi

Lo consiglierei perché semplifica notevolmente l'elaborazione di presentazioni che necessitano screen shot del montor

PROS

Quello che apprezzo particolarmente è la capacità di catturare parti del monito selezionando contenuti sui quali puoi mettere indicazioni di testo o parti in evidenza con colori e forme. tale selezione poi può essere salvata o copiata e incollata ad esempio nel corpo di una mail se si vuole comunicare cose iconografiche ad un cliente o incollata su phoposhop per eventuali elaborazioni grafiche. Utilissima anche per scambi veloci di pareri su contenuti da descktop direttamente su whatsup o in chat.

CONS

Unico neo la semplicità degli strumenti che mette a disposizione per l'editing e l'impossibilità di estendere la selezione con lo scorrimento del monitor

Capturas de pantalla para compartir

Además de poder compartir en un momento dado la captura con otra persona a través de internet, es muy útil para guardar las imágenes de tutoriales para un blog o página web. Todas las capturas que compartes con un link se guardan en una zona personal del sitio de Lightshot al que puedes acceder para organizar las imágenes.

PROS

Es muy fácil compartir capturas de pantalla completas o parciales por medio de un link que se autogenera para poder enviarlo por email o colocarlo en una web o red social.

Acerca de Lightshot

Ha sido una experiencia agradable, ya que basta con tener instalada la aplicación y al presionar la tecla PrtScr selecciono el área a capturar, lo que me simplifica el trabajo guardándolo instantáneamente sin necesidad de auxiliarme de algún otro programa o herramienta para su recorte como Paint.

PROS

Lo más impactante de Lightshot es que me permite capturar imágenes, en el momento que así lo requiera, ya sea de algo que vi en la web, de una conferencia, etc, de manera ágil y sencilla. Ahorrándome tiempo y pasos en todo el proceso.

CONS

Lightshot es una herramienta con la cual me siento bastante cómodo al tenerla instalada en mi ordenador.

Reasons for switching to Lightshot

Porque puedo guardar la imagen directamente, sin necesidad de llevarla a otra aplicación, tras haber realizado la captura.

Best tool and easiest way to take screenshot

Among the software tools which I have used to take screenshots, it is the best tool among them. It has made my work faster and convenient.

PROS

First of all, it is free and very easy to use. We do not have to open any software. We just have to click the PrintScreen button and select the area to take screenshots. We can just highlight the part which we want to explain or show. It has made my work faster. It does not consume much space as it is lightweight.

CONS

We cannot select the part, we want to change the marker marks. It does not contain an eraser as we have to click a back button to undo changes.

Reasons for switching to Lightshot

I have to keep on opening the app and clicking the new button to take screenshots which was time-consuming. It did not have the square box highlight option.

Very great screenshot software

All in all, it's a great product. Syncs up with the PrtSc button on my keyboard and you can choose to save that screenshot or just copy and paste it immediately (which is what I usually do) into Slack or an email or whatever else. Ability to black out or highlight relevant or sensitive information is crucial, and Lightshot allows for this.

PROS

I like the ability to mark up any screenshot that I take. Use a highlighter to better show the main part of the screenshot that I want to emphasize.

CONS

It would be great if we were able to take a screenshot that lasts longer than an individual moment. Capture what is happening on my screen as I walk through a navigation process for a client or other user in my company.

Es una herramienta sencilla y eso es lo que me encanta. Cumple estricamente su función y lo hace muy bien pero además tiene extras como editar o dibujar sobre la imagen, algo que en ocasiones sirve. No la cambiaría porque la uso muy frecuentemente y jamás me ha decepcionado.
