WinSnap

Superb Screenshot Software!

Honestly, we can't figure out why Microsoft isn't beating down NTWind's door for the rights to include WinSnap in their next Windows update.

After all, WinSnap is so much better -- SO MUCH BETTER -- than the Windows "PrntScrn" utility that we hardly even feel comfortable mentioning them in the same paragraph!

It's small install size (>1mb) belies it's power and functionality. Standard features let you easily capture non-rectangular windows with customized and transparent backgrounds, apply simple and automatic canvas transformations, add coloring effects and create slick, professional-looking drop shadows. WinSnap supports a variety of image formats and has advanced auto-save features.

In a word...

...Awesome!

DrTeeth Now up to version 3.5.7, v4 in development.

This util works brilliantly, excellent support materials on the site and from the author. It would be rude not to buy it at this price.

Frank Stephens I commented on this the last time, it's my favorite basic screen capture utility. For annotation, you can use the free FastStone Image Viewer
http://www.faststone.org/...Detail.htm
or the free MicroInvention CrossGL SnapDraw

Jason Howard The requirement to use multiple apps to complete the capture and annotate process - can be both a good or a bad thing

While WinSnap is one of the best apps at actually doing the screen capture - it is quite possible that if annotation/illustration features were added - it might totally suck at that aspect.

What WinSnap does have is a "Tools" menu where you can launch other apps to further edit the "captured" graphic file. So the user can choose whatever application they want to further edit the screenshot - depending on the features required.
Oct 10 2011 at 2:08am
VLM Thanks for that bit of input, Jason. Might not have caught that myself on short notice. Hope the developer chooses to respond on this point today!
Oct 10 2011 at 3:49am
Alexander Avdonin Image editing features (crop, arrows, annotations, etc) will be present in WinSnap 4, which is currently under active development. I'm planning to start alpha/beta-testing of WinSnap 4 within a few days. Many updates are coming soon. Thank you!
NTWind Software Vendor - Oct 10 2011 at 5:57am
Doug Atkinson Winsnap is also my favorite screen capture tool It has a well rounded set of features, such as auto numbering of successive screen captures, delay screen capture, good hot key support, and the ability to capture a variety of screen types. As with Jason, I'd rather see scrolling screen capture than annotation capabilities. I usually find myself taking lots of screen shots at once and any editing is done later, so I don't need editing capabilities within the same program.

I've tried a lot of freeware screen capture programs, but I keep coming back to WinSnap!
Oct 10 2011 at 6:22am
Lifetime Upgrades This is truly a great screen capture tool. I have used it for many years as the primary tool for the job.

Thanks Alexander for the great tool and great support.
Oct 10 2011 at 6:37am
VLM Does anyone have experience, so that you can compare SnagIt with WinSnap? (In terms of screen capture; I realize by now that WinSnap does not have the annotation and editing capabilities of SnagIt, more or less.)
Oct 10 2011 at 7:12am
Jason Howard Same license works with portable version too.
Oct 10 2011 at 7:26am
James Kenney Alexander Avdonin: Will you keep the ability to link to external editors in v4 ???
Does free upgrades for life mean ONLY for the Version 3 series, or does it include all future versions?
Do you have any planes to include large window support(the scrolling windows feature mentioned above) in version 4???
At this price, I am going to get it irrespective of the answers, but I would like to know before I purchase another program just to do large windows...

Eddie Tex @ Presiding Emissary,

I am a registered Snag-It user (version 9) and I chose to purchase WinSnap today. It is far less feature-packed than Snag-It but I love WinSnap's simplicity and effectiveness at capturing clean snap shots. In fact the features advertised of WinSnap (cleaning up the background and the rounding of edges might not even be supported by Snag-It... at least not in v9). That said, Snag-It DOES support scrolling windows, and features the advanced annotation tools, but it is (in my opinion) a large and heavy application. I have no issue sacrificing that and leveraging one of many great image tools on the market... and given that WinSnap is supported with lifetime upgrades at only a fraction of the cost, I'm willing to wait for NTWind to implement the extra features that it is missing today (mostly the scrolling window capability)!

Yes.

Free upgrades are entitled to all future versions of WinSnap, including major updates.

Do you have any planes to include large window support(the scrolling windows feature mentioned above) in version 4???
Currently I have no plans or timeline for scrolling window capture.

Please see links in the above message for more details.
NTWind Software Vendor - Oct 10 2011 at 2:46pm
Eddie Tex @ Alexander... Wow! Very impressive! I'll have to give this a try.
Oct 10 2011 at 2:46pm
Warren Russell Barry, Zsolt, Jason, and others who have requested scrolling windows capture (just scanning the discussion, I have seen six or seven requests, I think, starting from the second comment here):

This offer was well timed for me, since I just installed the Snagit trial and am considering buying it. However, the FIRST thing I looked for was to see if it supported scrolling.

I just did a search of the Winsnap forums and found multiple threads starting FIVE YEARS AGO requesting this feature. Alexander has never agreed to add it; as he has done here, he has always answered "maybe." I wouldn't hold out any hope that it will ever be added.

I don't understand why he doesn't add such an obviously much-wanted feature. Is it just too hard to program? I use screen capture mostly to send snapshots to technical support, and quite often have a scrolling window I want to send. Just yesterday, in fact, I had this issue. Alexander has asked why it is needed; here is an example. In Windows 7 Indexing Options, if you choose Modify, you get a list of selected locations. I have a Users folder on both drive C: and drive D:. I wanted to show that the Users folder is selected for indexing, on both drives, but without scrolling, I was unable to display enough of the tree to see whether the Users directory belonged to c: or d:.

In fact, even Windows Explorer Windows have this same issue; they have scroll bars, and if you want to see more than is displayed on your screen, you have to scroll. And if you have to take multiple screenshots at different levels of scrolling, you lose the relationships between the Windows' contents.
Oct 10 2011 at 3:32pm
Eddie Tex @ Warren, in my opinion, scrolling windows is not a trivial feature to implement. I've seen many screen capture tools and of the group, I know of two that support this: Snag-It and Ashampoo Snap. That said, I have occasionally run into issues with both tools in different circumstances.

The dilemma with developers is whether or not they want to implement a feature that works inconsistently and thus, opening themselves up to bug reports... or would they rather just focus on the features they know they can execute on... and do those to perfection.
Oct 10 2011 at 4:27pm
James Kenney Eddie Tex: hypersnap v7 can do it now, or so they say...
quote...
Auto-scrolls and concurrently captures long web pages and other. documents, enabling it to grab more than is visible on the screen.

Extended Window Capture function when running on Windows XP® . Resizes a window to be much bigger than the screen before the capture - in one quick step, no auto-scrolling!

end quote ...

It is the second option that sounds like what I would want...

I already bought WinSnap right after my first post, so I am not complaining... It is just a feature that I think would be very helpful in a program that is already the best at what is designed for: Capturing screen contents as accurately as possible.
Oct 10 2011 at 4:53pm
Frank Stephens Alexander Avdonin, the one issue which I've had with WinSnap is that I normally have it set to save automatically, as I usually do multiple captures. But if I change the effect options for subsequent captures, it changes the last saved file without notice, which is a problem.

I'll see what's new in the development version 4, but I didn't need annotation or external editor links since I use other tools to do that later. Some people clearly want scrolling captures, I rarely need that (but wish it was there when I do) and a number of tools can do it, but some do it badly and both horizontal and vertical scrolling is required.
Oct 10 2011 at 5:50pm
Ed Ward Comments and a question:
1. Full featured alternative - I am currently evaluating Fullshot; appears to be a very good alternative used by developers/designers. Allows multiple annotations, etc.
2. Giving up on program I've used for years - SPX Instant Screen Capture; would "hang up" with Windows 7; unable to resolve, despite requests to developer
3. Best feature in SPX that I've not found elsewhere - hot key = hold down right mouse key for 1 sec., cross-hairs appear. Fastest, easiest way to capture a region.

Can WinSnap do # #?
Oct 10 2011 at 6:19pm
Warren Russell Thanks you, Eddie. I suspected that might be the case. Too bad...this looks like a really good offer. Now I just need to decide how essential scrolling really is to me.
Oct 10 2011 at 8:22pm
PortablesFan I'm not really sure if I NEED this software, but I appreciate the dual philosophy of 'free updates for life' and having a 'portable install' option, and even as a student can afford to 'vote with my dollar' at this BDJ price. Thanks, Alexander!

I admit, though, I'd also really like to eventually see scrolling capture... :-)
Oct 10 2011 at 8:37pm
Frank Stephens People are forever asking questions that the trial would answer. Unlike many applications, those from NTWind have extremely minimal installation and can be readily uninstalled. You can choose the hotkeys for the different types of captures, Ctrl-Alt-PrtScrn is the default for region capture. You get a magnified view, you can use the arrow keys for more precise positioning, and you can choose the shape of the capture.
