Free software to capture images within a computer screen
PC Screen Capture is a lightweight and extremely efficient package that will help users to record the contents of a screen within a real-time scenario. Functioning similarly to other bundles such as Snagit or Greenshot, the main benefit in regards to this system is that it is absolutely free to download and install. It is supported by most Windows operating systems.
Core Features and Functions
PC Screen Capture will allow the user to record the contents of an entire page or to highlight those sections which he or she wishes to save as a separate image file. Unique drop-and-drag features are ideal when information needs to be saved within a short period of time. All controls can be found at a menu on the top of the page, so accessing basic functions is never a problem. Multiple file types such as .JPG, .BMP and .GIF are all supported.
Additional Options
Users can also choose to run PC Screen Capture directly from a USB stick as opposed to downloading the program onto their hard drive. It is possible to capture preselected areas of a page such as bookmarks, and address bar or a navigational menu. This system is ideal for troubleshooting websites or for sending specific image captures to friends.
Chantelle van Heerden
I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where I currently own and manage a digital marketing and design agency with my husband and business partner. I've been working in marketing in one form or another for the past 12 years. I initially worked in IT and project management, handling technical projects throughout SADC. From there, I moved on to work for an IBM subsidiary, handling all partners and marketing events throughout Africa. I was eventually head hunted to work for a local company to head up their marketing department, including all digital, social, print, and events marketing. Despite my full-time employment, I would also participate in several writing projects in my own time, including editing and proofreading novels, writing shorts, poetry, and ebooks, and studying other marketing-related activities, such as Google Ads and tools. Eventually my partner and I started our marketing agency, where we currently support several local and international clients, providing copywriting services, social media management, web design and hosting, and related services. Many of my skills are self-taught or learned through online studies, including design and advertising. The written word has always been a passion. I'm an avid reader of Saul, King, Dan Brown, Pratchett, and Koontz. I also enjoy ancient histories, fables, and mythologies, and WWII documentories.
