  millenys3/21/2016

  Easy to install, weight not much. Allows to make a screenshot of full screen, the active window or a scrolling window. Also can make screen recording. For me it works without problems (I use Chrome).

  Cons

  The interface is not so good.

  Summary

  Helps a lot with making screenshots and screen recording. Reliable and light.

• Works perfectly with FireFox for me

  JohnEastMan2/23/2014

  Pros

  Have been using FastStone Capture for 5+ years and it never failed to make me happy. I use FireFox (default browser 90%), IE (5%) and Chrome(5%). It did a great job capturing web pages for me. The built-in screen recorder helps a lot when I need to show my parents how to use Windows. Everything is included in the $19.95 license. Incredible!!!

  Cons

  Still hope it will support tabs in the editor some day.

• The more I use it, the more I love it

  pdmccabe12/18/2013

  Pros

  Multiple capture methods Scrolling page capture Lots of edit features once something is captured

  Cons

  Can only capture one thing (unlike capture software like Greenshot which allows you to capture many things then work on, discard, or save captured images). Haven't figured out how to use hot keys because they interfere with other program hot keys.

  Summary

  I program web surveys, work on web sites, and do a fair amount of graphics related work. Capture is now one of my top five most used programs. It's scrolling feature allows me to capture things that fall outside of the screen (very rare but needed feature in this type of program). It has a free-form capture ability that saves me a lot of editing time, it works VERY well, it's intuitive, and I just can't say enough good things about it. I rarely rate software and I love getting free software but this software is only free to try and costs $20 - so be mindful of that. It's the best screenshot program out there in my book (and I'm a very heavy user). If you need nice but only OK software, try Greenshot - which is free - and FAR better than using the Windows PrtScr screen shot feature.

• Does everything I want it for.

  howardferns12/7/2013

  Pros

  A screen capture with editor that does everything I want (capture region, annotate with arrows, lines, shapes or text with choice of size, colour, font, etc.) with no superfluous features that I don't want, and no annoyances. Opening the program puts a floating toolbar on the screen, you can position it where you want. On this if I select Region there is immediately a hair cross on my screen that I can drag about to make my selection. On completion of the capture, it opens immediately on the Editor. When you are finished there is no tray icon to close, you simply close the floating toolbar.

  Cons

  I can not fault it other than the fact that it is now payware. If you do a search you will find the last free version, which is what I am using.

  Summary

  Highly recommended. In my search for the best program for my needs I looked at and tried a number of similar ones. Discarding the ones with no editors or the ones that link to an external editor, many of the built in editors are too limited in options, while some are too complex. Then there are a few that require .Net Framework 4 which I refuse to install because, I once found, it slows my computer down dreadfully. I am so glad I turned to FastStone Capture as it is absolutely perfect for me.

  Pros

  The program is very flexible. It offers multiple ways to determine what gets captured as an image. I have been using the program with several computers.

  Cons

  Not available for Linux.

  Summary

  Great screen capture program. Make it available for Linux.
