The best screen capture tool by a country mile and I think I`ve tried them all. Simply brilliant, intuitive, easy to use and fast.

I've been running into some issues with Faststone Capture and Windows 8. When I attempt to draw on the screenshot and apply my changes, FastStone freezes.

I'm now using a Firefox extension instead - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-screenshot-capture-/

As a web developer and graphic designer, I've been uding this tool for over 4 years, most time on a daily basis alongside onenote. So far I have only tested a few other screenshot tools before and they were bloated with crappy UI. The 3 main reasons why I find it so great; friendly UI design, it's lite on resources and loaded with tons of extras all for free.
Most used features are crop, resize, draw, capture entire page and copy.

@verlando: From the output menu choose: To File (Auto Save)

FS Capture looks pretty cool but will it let you do several rapid screen captures? I'm using 'easy capture' now and though it isn't perfect, I can take many screen shots in quick succession without having to mess with any editing in between shots.

@hassodio

Make sure your at the top of the page (scroll up)

FSCapture will not reset to the top if you are in the middle or at the bottom of a page.

When at the top of the page press [Ctrl+Alt+PrtSc] or right-click the tray icon and select [Capture Scrolling Window]

Bill - to save an edited image from within the editor of FastStone v5.3 - hit Ctrl + S or select File and then Save As or right-click anywhere inside the window and select Save As. You can overwrite or rename.

@ herkesuzman.com
This problem is solved with the newest version (6.8).
But this is shareware.

@ Bill

this is one of the flaws of FastStone.

You must save images right away or the image is lost.

Try PicPick, the quality is better, and utilizes Tabs which enable you to come back to an image to edit or save.

Does anyone know how to save a capture after editing it in "The Editor" of Faststone Capture 5.3. I have had to use another screen capture program to do this.

PicPick offers a feature not available with FastStone.

Tabs!

With FastStone, you have to save the capture right away, or it will be discarded if you snap another capture.

PicPick will save using Tabs, so you can go back later to save the captures you want :)

@ Alfred Wong: The database link is to the latest freeware version (5.3 released: Feb 12, 2007), which still has some compatibility issues with Windows Vista.
This problems had been solved with version 5.4, which is the first shareware version.
A 64-bit version was first time introduced with version 6.1 (released: April 21, 2008).

Glad you saved this file. I was disappointed they began charging for something that used to be free, but I guess everyone has to eat.

I'm glad someone held on to this one though. Thanks again.

OCR Website goodocr is an OCR solution rather effective and free. As it's name suggests, it's not bad. At least to me.

I've been using this program almost daily for years.
Great for capturing screen shots of transactions.
The drawing function comes in very handy.

Hi, this is great software and the version 5.3 is the last freeware version. If you like the program and if it has helped you a lot (as it has helped me), please support it by byuing the lifetime licence or a donation. (PS: I am not a developer of FS Capture, I just love the sw and would like to support those guys:)

I was so pleased to find this! Thank you. I have been using the freeware version for years on my desktop and really wanted it for my work laptop. Thanks for putting this up!

I am so happy to have found this. I was using a competitor, but was unable to install on my PC due to the program requiring a C: drive location for the snapshots folder. I searched for a portable capture program to eliminate that need, and found this. Just dl and start using. Thanks...

Have been using this program for a couple years now ... Love it .... I got it when it freeware and the freeware version did everything I needed it to .... I have everything saved to a .png file folder and can go there to adjust or move it to appropriate folders .... much easier to keep the files all in one place then move when time permits and not let it just "dump" the file somewhere

so fast and easy I never really did ever read the how to part

Awesome. Thank you sooo much! I was looking for a program to capture scrolling windows. I downloaded this one after reading the comments and it worked. It was very easy to use, did the scrolling windows and that was exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you thank you.

I do this maybe once a year, so paying for snag-it just didn't seem like the best option for me.
