Here’s a snapshot of the capture tool which floats on your desktop. You can capture windows, objects, full screen, rectangle regions, freehand-selected regions and scrolling windows/web pages. The program has two components – the capture panel and the FastStone Image Editor. Plus, I like the fact that I can carry the 1 MB portable software in my flash drive and use it anywhere.Ĭapturing screenshots with FastStone is easy and… fast. The FastStone Capture tool is lightweight but it has all the features you would expect from a capable image tool.

Needle in a haystack? Not really when you have options like the portable FastStone Screen Capture tool. You would instead go on a hunt for a small but efficient, free but full-featured screen capture tool.

You wouldn’t plunk down dollars for the industry standard SnagIt screen capture software of course. If you casually flit about on the web, you could use one to capture a screen quickly and post it somewhere like a microblogging site or a social network like Facebook. Image capture tools aren’t the exclusive purview of bloggers and web workers.
