Save time and screen-capture information instantly

Ashampoo Snap FREE captures any screen content on Windows as screenshots. Because, a picture is worth a thousand words–provided it is well made, edited, and commented. Ashampoo Snap FREE is the comfortable way to create screenshots of internet sites, videos, images, and texts. The smart multi-purpose recording tool makes creating and capturing rectangular selections as easy as recording scrolling websites. Naturally, fixed-size and freehand selections are also supported, as are timer and interval-based recordings, e.g. to document a multi-step process. Snap FREE can also capture multiple connected displays as a single screenshot, and supports printing. The built-in editor not only features basic image editing operations, like cropping, scaling, and rotating, but also comes with numerous tools to annotate and highlight individual image portions with texts, comments, markers, arrows, and more. Results are easily shareable via Ashampoo Webspace and email but can also be send to other installed applications at the click of a button for further processing. And printing is also fully supported, of course. Ashampoo Snap FREE can be operated through the "magic eye" (a floating toolbar near the edge of the screen), the system tray icon, and keyboard shortcuts for instant feature access. The program is unobtrusive and light on system resources.
