WinSnap is a small utility for taking and editing screenshots. It can easily capture screenshots of non-rectangular windows with the background of your choice, automatically perform simple canvas transformations and coloring effects, add professional Photoshop-style shadows etc. Note that if you are running this on versions of Windows before XP, you will need to place GDIPLUS.DLL in the application folder.
Note: Starting from V2.x, WinSnap is no longer free for personal use. We are linking to the last freeware version available on an alternative site. If you have a more recent freeware version, please post in forums.

I agree with CD. This is simply the best capture tool for Windows.
The last freeware portable edition is still available from the authors site, however it is difficult to find it.
The URL to the freeware download page is ...

However, the portable version of 1.1.10 , which this app entry refers to, is still on the site so grab it while you can.
The hotkeys don't work.
I have used FS Capture, HoverSnap, FGWnGrab and quite a few other screen captuer utilities and this is simply the best.
Includes multiple hotkeys, drop shadow (several options), rotate, resize, watermark, choice of background color, grayscale, sepia, auto filename generation, relative paths, save to multiple formats (with options) and lastly, very stable. Add to this it's small size (140kb w/o GDI+), it's use of an application folder ini file instead of registry and/or Profile folder settings and you've got 10 out of 10!
Simply excellent.
Nice program for screen captures. Easy to use. Works well.
@DzejPy - Just updated the download link. Thanks!
v1.1.10
