What is FastStone Capture?

FastStone Capture is a powerful and versatile application tailored for screen capturing and video recording tasks. It allows users to seamlessly capture and annotate various screen elements, including windows, menus, full-screen displays, specific regions, and even scrolling web pages. Moreover, the software facilitates the recording of all on-screen actions, capturing visual changes, audio from both the microphone and speakers, along with mouse movements and clicks, which can be stored as highly compressed video files. Users can choose to send their captures to multiple destinations, such as an editor, file, clipboard, printer, email, or directly to applications like OneNote, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and they can also upload their content to web platforms. The editing features are extensive, providing tools for annotations like text and arrows, along with resizing, cropping, sharpening, watermarking, and edge effects. Additionally, the software includes functionalities such as image scanning, global hotkeys for quick access, automatic filename generation, compatibility with external editors, a color picker, a magnifying tool, a crosshair for precise selections, and a ruler for accurate measurements. The intuitive interface ensures that users of all skill levels can easily maneuver through the tool without feeling overwhelmed. Its rich set of features makes it an indispensable resource for anyone needing efficient and effective screen capture solutions.

    Summary

    Just a solid tool that is always in my software utility toolbelt. Dependable and easy to use. Accept no substitutes.

    Positive

    1) Pricing. No subscriptions. Fixed low price ($19.95 lifetime license).
    2) Consistent behaviour through generations of versions - no UI suprises.
    3) Been around for years
    4) Very configurable hotkeys, etc.
    5) Built in, post-capture, full window editor.
    6) Stable product.

    Negative

    6) Build a MacOS version PLEASE!!
    7) Take a hard, hard look at MacOS's built in screen capture tool. This is the gold standard. Now build in the post-capture, full window editor. Port to MacOS and Windows. Now we are cooking.
