recommended screen capture software for PC?

Tsw88 · 02 Nov 2018

currently I am capturing with mouse and every time I need to capture a rectangular section I need to use mouse to start from a point and pull it down.

It's very troublesome. Especially when I often need to capture and save screen , of approx. the same size.

I don't need exact dimension of capture area, only approx. dimension is fine.

any screen capturing software where it provides a pre-defined size where I can more easily to capture a rectangular area? For example, every click it already gives me a rectangular size and let me choose where to capture and then just another click to finish?

Any recommended software?

ShareX - Screen capture, file sharing and productivity tool
- free, open source.

This really is intuitive, fast scrolling capture. Just works. Includes fixed region, and as many options as you could want, and fast effective scrolling capture too.

==============================================================================

People may say Picpick, which allows you to set a fixed area (and many many other features).

But I've just tried that and kept ending up with having to log off- clicking and hitting ESC just gave me a 'bong' sound- rejection.

(It claims to do scrolling capture too, but doesn't do it well - the only good one I know is Duckcapture for that).

Greenshot is also pretty good.

Very easy to use, free, and lots of markup/editing options.

Do any of you have any success using scrolling capture with that? I don't, alas- tried with my browser.

Duckcapture is the only reliable one I've found for that. (free). Thanks!
