The built-in screenshot function in Windows is not always suitable for use. Therefore, many screenshot programs were created, the functionality of which is many times better than the built-in version. But first things first.
Screenshot is a screenshot. One at the touch of a button PrntScr can save the “photo” of the picture on the monitor to the clipboard. This has its minus. Screenshots made in this way must be saved manually, since each subsequent press of the PrntScr key deletes the old image from the clipboard.
Now we will list the best applications for creating screenshots and discuss their capabilities. It is worth noting that almost all programs work under all versions of Windows 7, 8, 10.
Faststone capture
Although FastStone "weighs" not so much, it does not reduce its effectiveness. You can download it from the FastStone Capture website in three forms - exe, zip, or portable version. The latter is characterized in that no installation required, and can even be launched from a usb drive.
You can use the utility for free for 30 days, then it will request a license purchase.
Installation does not require special actions - a standard agreement with the license and the choice of installation folder. And here is the application window:
As you can see, it is small, and does not take up much space. For work is offered several variants screen capture - a photo of the active window, the selected object / window, rectangular selection of a given or arbitrary area, a full-screen screen of a scrolling window, as well as a screen recording.
After performing one of these functions editor opens, in which you can zoom in / out the picture, crop it, make a note, highlight important details, and so on. 
A small and high-speed program is ideal for using the basic functions of screenshots and editing them.
Snagit
This program differs in that it has a website where you can upload your pictures and share them, look for similar ones, store in the cloud.
The downloaded application is launched on the taskbar in hidden icons. To use him very simple - press the hot key or the application icon itself. After that, it is proposed to select a zone for capturing the screen, and immediately edit the picture. And then it is saved in the cloud / on the PC. Everything is simple.
Jshot
Another simple screenshot program is Jshot. Since the official site no longer works, you can download it from third-party resources.
All that can be said about her is simple and functional. The same keyboard shortcuts, the same editor, nothing new, only in a slightly different form and with a different interface.
Screen shot creator
Clip2net
Clip2Net allows you to create screenshots, immediately edit them and save in the cloud. A handy utility for sharing your pictures.
There are free and paid versions. Free the clip2n version does not limit the place to store files in the cloud, their storage time, the number of downloads per day and the maximum file size. IN paid cliptonet versions partially remove and extend capabilities.
Ashampoo snap
Ashampoo Snap is a more professional utility. There are both standard functions and more advanced ones. For example, you can take a screenshot of entire sites at a time, or several windows in one.
Advanced editor allows you to work out every detail of the image. There is also a good video editor.
True, you have to pay for all this, since the free version limits the user's actions.
Monosnap
Another easy-to-use application. Monosnap offers various screen capture and image editing options.
Allows save your files in the cloud without limits.
Movavi screen capture
Many of those who have edited the video at least once are familiar with Movavi screen capture. A very simple and at the same time functional interface is a feature of this company. Allows you to take screenshots and edit them, although the main task is to work with video.
Carambis screenshooter
Easy and free program that allows you to take a screenshot and change it. One of the features Carambis ScreenShooter is what practically does not load the system.
Sharex
Another easy application that practically does not load the system. Basically, ShareX is used to quickly share your pictures. Traditionally, there is also an image editor.
Joxi
Joxi - shareware utility for screenshots. It provides a large amount of cloud storage and unlimited file storage time.
In just a couple of clicks, you can create and send an image, simultaneously editing it.
ScreenShot Captor
ScreenShot Captor app that works with multiple monitors. Allows you to take several types of screenshots and configure a hot button for each type.
Feature consists in allowing you to create your own watermarks.
Duckcapture
A simple screenshot option that allows you to take screenshots of different types and formats. Duckcapture allows add annotations to snapshots and upload them to the cloud.
Suitable for Windows XP, Vista, 7.
Snapdraw
The difference of this application is that in addition to the usual screenshots it allows you to create them in 3D. In SnapDraw Editor can add multiple images to combine them into one, and there are also many special effects.
Lightscreen
Lightscreen lets you work with multiple monitors and it’s very easy to use. You can configure up to six hot keys, and the created screenshots are saved in the cloud on imgur.com. 
Jing
Screen Grab Pro
Screen Grab Pro allows using hot keys to capture screen in different formats and views. There is a timer for slow grip.
Cropper
Allows crop and edit Pictures. Cropper is a good image editor, but you need to get used to the interface.
Screenshoter
A bit like Light Shot, but nonetheless an original screenshot program. Screenshot allows you to immediately annotate, put arrows and stuff in the picture.
Qip shot
An intuitive program that allows you not only to take screenshots and edit them, but also to make online broadcast your screen. The QIP Shot editor allows you to work with all types of images. Cloud file storage is also available.
As you can see, most programs are similar, and at the same time they differ in functionality. But all of them significantly improve the built-in screen capture function, which greatly simplifies the work with pictures.

Do you know how many times you have to click the mouse or tap the keyboard to take a screenshot? I calculated: in order to cut out a fragment of the screen with the “Scissors” of Windows and save it to the hard drive, you need to click the mouse 7 times. The standard Print Screen followed by pasting the picture into Paint forces 5-8 clicks. Screen save by pressing Print Screen + Windows works every other time and only on Windows 8 and 10. Lightshot and Joxy require at least 4 clicks. Is it too much when you need to capture a frame from a movie or a beautiful moment in a game?
The optimal program for creating screenshots should not require unnecessary actions from the user, because sometimes every second counts. It should be simple, but at the same time not primitive (). It is desirable that there be an editor in it, because on screenshots you often need to make some notes. Is there such a program? Not so long ago appeared. Meet: This is a Screenshot for Windows. It takes screenshots in just one click.
Speed \u200b\u200bis the main thing, but ...
... not the only thing that determines the choice of application for creating screenshots. In addition to it, it is important, in my opinion, the convenience and ease of understanding the functions. As well as the ability to customize the program for personal needs and its undemanding to system resources.So, Screenshot:
- Makes screenshots by pressing any key or pair of keys that you assign yourself.
- Along with hot keys, it is also called by right-clicking and left-clicking the mouse (the option is configured to capture a screen area).
- Automatically saves pictures in two places at once: locally (in any folder on the hard drive) and on the developer's server, where they are stored for 60 days. Also, the newly made screen is uploaded to the clipboard, from where it can be pasted, for example, into a Word document.
- It allows you to choose where to save the image before, not after creating it. A trifle, but convenient. Files are saved in one of two formats: PNG or JPG.
- It contains a small graphical editor that can be called up on demand - by pressing the key you selected (by default - Ctrl). The editor includes a pencil, arrow, rectangular frame, typing tool, blur and color palette.
- It practically does not consume system resources, therefore it is suitable for use on weak or heavily loaded machines.
- Being free, it does not pester annoying advertising. During installation, it offers to install Yandex elements, but this can be abandoned.
The screenshoter takes 1-3 seconds to create and save a picture on the server (at an average Internet speed).
How to use Screenshot
After installing the program, click on its shortcut on the desktop - the settings window will open. On the first tab, you have to assign shortcuts to the capture functions of the entire screen, the active window and an arbitrary area. Option " Two mouse buttons simultaneously"Activates, as I said, the capture of an arbitrary area.The add-ons are configured below - displaying the cursor on the screenshot, playing sound (clicking the camera shutter), notification of the release of program updates and opening the image in the browser. The last option is relevant when saving screenshots on the Screenshot server.
The second tab is the section for saving images: location and file format.
On the third tab, the editor activation key is set. There are no more settings in the program.
After saving the changes, close the window.
Take screenshots
To “take a picture” of the entire screen or just the window is active, press the key combination that you assigned to these actions at the setup stage. By default, the result will automatically be downloaded to the clipboard of your PC and to skrinshoter.ru.
Some users fear that the screenshots uploaded to skrinshoter.ru would not be accessible to outsiders. This is impossible - only those to whom you yourself will give a link can see them. It is impossible to select it by brute force.
To get a screenshot of the fragment, press the assigned keys or both mouse buttons at the same time. The screen will turn dark and the cursor will look like a cross. Hold the left mouse button and, without releasing, capture the desired area of \u200b\u200bthe screen. If at the same time you hold down the Ctrl key, next to the selected fragment the editor and file save panels will open.
Below is an example of using editing tools: a pencil for drawing arbitrary lines (to draw a horizontal line, hold Shift), a rectangular frame, arrows and blur.
To determine the purpose of the panel buttons, just hover over them.
Yes, the editor’s capabilities are small. For example, you cannot make a background for text marking in it or delete an element that was not the last to be created (there is no “Eraser” option), however, the project is actively developing, and there is hope that all this will appear in the near future.

You have probably come across such a situation when you wanted to save some moments of the game to show your friends or just remember, but not all games have a screenshot button, so you had to press the PrtSc button, and then start the graphical editor and paste the image from the buffer sharing and save to computer. This utility will no longer have such a problem - just press the hot keys and select the desired area for the picture, after which it will be saved in the folder you need.
