WinSnap

Superb Screenshot Software!

WinSnap

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 tiny size (132kb tiny!) 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!


Version Alert! Since we last promoted WinSnap, it has moved into version 3.1. The new version adds extensive support for the Windows 7 Taskbar and much more:

  • Expanded Support for Windows Vista UI:. WinSnap can handle all possible issues with translucent window frames and rounded corners.
  • Vista Drop Shadow Support: Add a drop shadow effect that is very similar to the Aero theme.
  • Alpha-Channel and PNG transparency support: Now shadows are semi-transparent! This function allows very easy image compositing, and is particularly useful when placing screenshots on multi-color backgrounds.
  • Multi-Object capture mode: Simultaneously select and capture multiple objects (e.g. windows, dialogs, buttons and controls). Several windows can be placed on the screen and easily combined into one screenshot image!
  • Support For WindowBlinds 6 Visual Styles: Configure WinSnap to work with any custom visual styles including modern WindowBlinds 6 skins with rounded corners and per-pixel transparency.
Written by Roger Thomasson

Key Features:

  • Capture non-rectangular shapes and rounded corners.
  • Capture transparent windows and add real drop shadow effects on-the-fly.
  • Enumerate and capture all visible windows in the foreground application and combine them into a single screenshot. Void space between separate windows can be automatically filled with the background of your choice.
  • Define a portion of the screen to capture.
  • Quickly add signature watermarks to the captured snapshots.
  • Easily create screenshot thumbnails.
  • Automatically resize images to user specifications.
  • Easily capture complex, multi-level application pulldown menus.




Take a look at some of the complex windows configurations that WinSnap can capture (not to mention the drop shadows!):

Real Users Say:

  • “WinSnap is one of the first-to-install utilities on any new machines. It seems that no matter what I build the computer for, I end up needing or wanting to take screenshots.

    What's more – it works seamlessly with Word 2007 for blogging: I can take great screenshots and then add slick affects to them in about 5 seconds...

    It's also great for emailing screenshots to friends and co-workers. Since WinSnap saves images to the clipboard as PNGs (by default), image size is significantly reduced when pasting images into emails.

    Just about my only complaint… when I tried to take a screenshot of WinSnap itself – it kept getting out of the way!

    ...WinSnap is worth every cent.”- Colin Neller, www.colinneller.com

    Excellent basic screen-capture tool with advanced support for Aero.  For annotation, you can use the free FastStone Image Viewer (Draw Board) or the commercial MicroInvention CrossGL SnapDraw (it can capture, too, but I had problems with SnapDraw and Aero).

    I currently use Snagit 9 and wondered how this compares?

    I know Snagit 10 just released, but for the cost this may be a nice way to go.

    Does it have anything like the Snagit Editor to manipulate the captures?

    Thanks for any insight on this.

    I have ordered a license for WinSnap a couple of weeks ago, because I was sick of the lack of decent PNG transparency in SnagIt 9. I have lost track of how many times I had to edit images made with SnagIt, placing a white rectangle behind the captured PNG to undo transparency introduced at the wrong place, yet keeping the rounded corners of the window. With the WinSnap 3.5.1 beta, things just work as they should: I get a clean capture in PNG with an optional alpha-blended shadow and/or a cool looking reflection, like I always tried to achieve in SnagIt and was never able to. In version 10 it seems that it this finally done properly, but it is too late for me - I am not paying for yet another upgrade. I am a customer for 10 years, so this might give you an idea how much I actually liked WinSnap. It just does what I need, no bloat. (Page curl effect, I am looking at you.)

    WinSnap does not have its own capture editor, but Alexander's software allows me to send the capture to a real PNG editor like Fireworks, where I have all the tools I need to get the effect I want. So, while WinSnap does not have all the features of SnagIt, for me this is just a case of "less is better". You should definitely get the software and try it out.

    Wasn't too sure about this offering at first. I use MWSnap quite regularly, but on Vista it seems to have some issues. One feature I use all the time is "Repeat Last Capture" along with Region selection; where you select a region, and snap a new picture each time the area in the region changes. I don't want to have to define a new region every time, and I'm not capturing a window or an object, but a selected area within a window.

    I thought you couldn't do it in the demo, but found a great tip in the NTWind forum:

    "You can store the region size and position in WinSnap (since version 2.x):

    1) start the Region selection mode
    2) select a region on the screen
    3) right-click somewhere, check "Fixed size" and "Store position"
    4) take the shot

    Next time you start the Region selection mode, press Enter\Space or use left-click to capture the same region.
    "

    Works great and you made a sale!

    I have used SnagIT for years and lately found a light weight freebie "Faststone Capture" that does a good job quickly and saves the captured file automatically. I love one feature - capture of scrolling window

    The paid version has extra features e.g. hide private info from the captured screen.

    Can one add comments or notes to the captured imagine at location of choice?

    Ability to insert arrows and other icons would also be nice.

    Are the above features supported or planned?
