MWSnap for Windows

User Reviews

• Great screen capture program!

  forrest7475/6/2018

  Pros

  Easy to use. Intuitive to use.

  Cons

  Unwanted ZOOM effect when using Windows10. Solution is to 1. Navigate to the folder where the MWSnap.exe is located 2. Right-click on the executable and select "Properties" 3. Select the "Compatibility" tab 4. Select "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" 5. Click Apply and OK ... but then MWSnap works just fine on Windows10!

  Summary

  I have used this program for the past 9 or so years. Extremely useful.

• Great except when it locks my system

  ElrondPA7/22/2015

  Pros

  Easy to precisely select an area (magnifier shows individual pixels where mouse is, and arrow keys can change capture size pixel by pixel). Color picker shows exact color of any pixel on screen. Completely free with no nagging. Some nice editing and image enhancement options.

  Cons

  Sometimes hangs entire system when restoring or activating it from minimized in system tray. Only works on main monitor with multi-monitor setups. Only holds one image at a time (a second screenshot overwrites the first, though you can autosave all images as they're captured).

  Summary

  I really wanted to like this, but two complete system hangs in two days is too much.

• Doesn't do what I expected

  nickrusso2/17/2013

  Pros

  Comes with other tools such as a screen ruler.

  Cons

  Does not actually copy menus

  Summary

  Nice package, but I downloaded it so I could take shots of menus. There is no way I can see to pull down a menu and put it in a screenshot. The menus it grabs are only the MENU BAR, not the actual menu. while the selection by mouse-over is convenient, I can't see as it does this much better than W7's built in Snipping Tool, which I keep in my Launch menu (which I made from an easy-to-get-to folder in My Documents. I removed it; I didn't need the other tools. That said, you may want to give it a try if it suits your needs. I had no problems with it.

• Very good software.

  WSM77/10/2011

  Pros

  Tiny, simple, easy to use. Many options for a free software. You cannot see any effect on RAM consummation. Suprisingly for a good free program, never does the inevitable nagging about buying or upgrading.

  Cons

  None, may be the interface is a little from Windows95 age.

  Summary

  Have it.

• Indispensible - Simple and efficient design

  3/11/2011

  Pros

  Installation is simple. Works on 32 bit and 64 Bit. Easy to access and gets the job done.

  Cons

  Doesn't handle multiple monitors. However, it is a free tool and the ease of use is unmatched.

  Summary

  My favorite feature is the "Repeat last" feature. It allows you to take multiple snaps of the same area over and over again. This comes in extremely handy when trying to capture WebCast slides and frames.
