About Greenshot

Greenshot is an on-premise photo editing tool, which enables technical writers, software developers, project managers, and other professionals to capture screenshots of a selected area and entire web pages. Users can utilize a drag-and-drop interface to add images and graphics to screenshots according to individual requirements.

Greenshot helps managers set up time lags and customize hotkeys to create screenshots. Professionals can import images from the clipboard and use the image editor to add shapes, annotations and text to captured screens. Additionally, software developers can save screenshots within files and draw shapes using various tools to highlight specific sections.

Greenshot is available for free and support is extended via FAQs, video tutorials and other online measures.

Essential utility software for Windows PC

5

As in the title I think it's essential tool in business and in private life. There are a lot of use cases where you need to capture part of the screen to show something and share it, or just for yourself. I use it everyday. It makes it fast and not as frustrating as using the default print screen key.

Pros:
I have to have it installed on every PC with Windows. I think it's the only application I rated the highest, it's so helpful. Usually I use it to quickly capture part of the screen and it saves it for me on the desktop. Sometimes I send the captured images directly to printer or Dropbox. If I want to explain something to someone I send it to Paint and mark the points. The best thing is that all of those functions can be used with 1-2 clicks. Fast and easy, zero frustrations.
Cons:
I can't point at anything I wouldn't like in Greenshot. The options programmed into it seem to be carefully planned and are very useful.

Best Desktop Screenshot Software

5

I started using it long time ago, when I needed screenshot app for my pc. And after all that years I'm still using it. Software is so productive, all you need to do is open it and click on icon down. Then you just pick what you want it to do for you, click and bam. It asks you where to save/upload, it is finished.
