Free screen capture software

November 8th, 2008 Ajith Posted in Image Editing No Comments »

(Version .41 with support to outlook released) A newer version .40 of Snippy is now available. It has got the added feature of support for Multiple Monitors which was done by Kartikeya Rindani

Snippy is the most efficient screen capture software I have seen till date : its free, it’s light at only 88Kb and needs no installation. When snippy is run it is hidden in the notification area , but when you click on it a “capture pointer” appears which lets you draw the required area. Or you can press shift to draw a rectangleSnippy draw. It supports up to 5 image formats for saving. In contrast to other applications all communication with snippy can be done through and only through the right click on notification area icon. Snippy is really a great piece of software with an appropriate name and a matching icon. Try it out today itself.

Pros :
really lite (88Kb) and requires no installation, Not system hungry, Supports five image formats, no irritating window, Hot Key allowed – F11 (changeable), border width and color changeable. Snippy ’s captured files are not lost even if you forget to save, they are automatically saved as JPEG to user temp folder which is “C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp” with filenames Snippyxxx.jpg

Cons :
No timer functions, the border drawn is also included in captured image which can be irritating, No video capture. (Actually you cant blame Snippy. After all it is really lite and easy to use, it keeps all the promises to you)

Specifications :

Mem. Usage (minimized) : 3MB
(capturing) : 10MB(during drawing, may vary)

File formats supported

(Save) : TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP
Capture Mode: Rectangle, Free shape draw.

Price : Free

Free online image editor

Resizr is a free online image editing site. I will allow you to use almost all the basic photo editing features. “RESIZR was conceived in July 2006 by Matt Miller, after trying to help a user upload an image to the Urban Pug Forums. After suggesting some tools, it became apparent that there might be a need for a brutally simple online image resizer.”

With Resizr you can Crop, Resize, Change filetype (GIF,PNG,JPG), sharpen, adjust levels, change the tone of the image (to B/W &&; sepia), adjust brightness and contrast and even control the quality of output file. Resizr is equivalent to a photo editing software. It is free and also saves your file for a specific amount of time before which you can download it.
