Lots of options to capture screens and regions. > > **Cons**: Figuring out where to find the app in the system tray took a bit of time but once I found it, it was easy to use ----- ### "Great for Screenshotting and editting" — 5.0/5 > **Luis** | *July 10, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy simple to use and very convenient hotkeys > > **Cons**: Limited Editing features nothing else to add. > > It has been a great one\! it's a very strong tool that I use daily ----- ### "If you can't afford Snagit, this is the next best option." — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *May 6, 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Greenshot is a barebones tool that allows you to capture screens and images quickly and easily. > > **Cons**: It does not offer the level of manipulation that Snagit provides. While it is an excellent free tool, the value that Snagit offers is worth the price. > > It's a great free tool that does EXACTLY what it says it does, no more, no less. If you need a quick free tool for grabbing screenshots, I cannot recommend Greenshot highly enough\! ----- ### "Amazing Free Product" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *August 9, 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I cannot believe this product is free. It helps me communicate instructions and to highlight issues to any user who is need of support. I can press print screen and easily grab an image, highlight areas and annotate. Even more significant is the option to blur text. This is critical to maintain privacy in some images. > > **Cons**: There are no known negatives to this product. Of course, it would be extra special if it was to provide a screen recording option. > > Absolutely fantastic. I have used this software for many years. Free to download, easy to install, configures itself to the print screen button, an excellent range of editing tools. The quick images I can take and annotate make communicating with users so much easier than explaining instructions in long wordy emails. Simply paste in the annotated screenshots to the email and users understand so much better how to do things. Excellent\! ----- ### "Greenshot Review - Online user guide creator's best friend" — 5.0/5 > **Travis** | *March 16, 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Greenshot integrates very well with Windows and has many configurable options to streamline what you want to do with your screenshots. I really enjoy the ability to use modifying keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) to take different types of screenshots within the same program. Cursor capture is great when creating tutorial where you want to have clear indication of where to click. Magnification of the capture cursor provides precise control of the capture regions. The simple editing features are just enough to get additional edits in without needing additional software. > > **Cons**: Don't really have anything about this software that I don't like. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047366/greenshot?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047366/greenshot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
