FastStone Capture allows you to easily capture and annotate anything on your screen including windows, objects, menus, full screen, rectangular & freehand regions, etc. It also has the ability to capture all the contents on scrolling web-pages and windows. A small handy Capture Panel provides quick access to its capture tools and output options. After capturing an image, you can resize, crop, rotate, sharpen, adjust colors, etc. Images can be saved into BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, and PDF formats.
FastStone opens with a small Capture Panel. This panel is divided into three types of tools: Screen Capture, Screen Recorder, and Output. The Screen Capture tools are the different capture functions, namely: Active Window, Window or Object, Rectangular Region, Freehand Region, Full Screen, Scrolling Window, and Fixed Region. While these are easily accessible in the control panel, you can opt to take a screen grab by pressing a hotkey or right clicking on the FastStone tray icon. Each capture function has its own hotkey while the tray icon offers functions in a pop-up menu.
Before enabling a screen cap, it is important to set the desired destination. You will find these in the Output dropdown menu. You will see 10 destinations wherein you can save your captured image, namely: Editor, Clipboard, File, File with Auto Save, Printer, Email, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Web with FTP Server. You can also instruct FastStone to send a preview of your image before saving. This can be done by checking the Preview in Editor tick box.
FastStone projects itself to be a compact tool as all of its main tools are placed in a control panel. Once you get started, you will see that it offers various modification options for you to record or capture your screen in the way that you prefer.

Reported to function in Windows 7 and in Linux under WINE.
Note: FastStone Capture went payware starting from v5.4 so I have made the last freeware version available (v5.3) for direct download as the license agreement does not prohibit redistribution.
I've been running into some issues with Faststone Capture and Windows 8. When I attempt to draw on the screenshot and apply my changes, FastStone freezes.
I'm now using a Firefox extension instead - -US/firefox/addon/awesome-screenshot-capture-/
As a web developer and graphic designer, I've been uding this tool for over 4 years, most time on a daily basis alongside onenote. So far I have only tested a few other screenshot tools before and they were bloated with crappy UI. The 3 main reasons why I find it so great; friendly UI design, it's lite on resources and loaded with tons of extras all for free.
Most used features are crop, resize, draw, capture entire page and copy.
FS Capture looks pretty cool but will it let you do several rapid screen captures? I'm using 'easy capture' now and though it isn't perfect, I can take many screen shots in quick succession without having to mess with any editing in between shots.
PicPick offers a feature not available with FastStone.
Tabs!
With FastStone, you have to save the capture right away, or it will be discarded if you snap another capture.
PicPick will save using Tabs, so you can go back later to save the captures you want :)

I am so happy to have found this. I was using a competitor, but was unable to install on my PC due to the program requiring a C: drive location for the snapshots folder. I searched for a portable capture program to eliminate that need, and found this. Just dl and start using. Thanks...
Awesome. Thank you sooo much! I was looking for a program to capture scrolling windows. I downloaded this one after reading the comments and it worked. It was very easy to use, did the scrolling windows and that was exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you thank you.
I do this maybe once a year, so paying for snag-it just didn't seem like the best option for me.
This works to capture a long or wide page to a static image file, but does anyone know of a tool that will create a video of the page as it scrolls (and is zoomed, etc.)? I want to be able to pan and zoom web pages into video files.

I really like Fast Stone screen capture, and on the whole find it very easy to use, but for one thing which is really not well documented and took me quite a while to figure out. Roland asked about how to capture a scrolling window just over a year ago and nobody replied to him. Capturing a scrolling window is not really intuitive.
When you want to capture a scrolling window, first scroll to the top of the window, or scroll so the location you want to start capturing from is at the top of the window. Press the hot key (Ctrl Alt PrtScr) or click the screen capture scrolling window icon and either move your mouse over to hover on the scroll bar, or wait for the red border to show up on the content window and then move your mouse over the scroll bar. Now click once on the scroll bar, and the screen capture will scroll down the page and take the snapshot.
You must position the window with the slider right at the top if you want the whole page, or position the page so the place you want to capture frm is at the top of the window.

Good enough for me to take time out to write this comment.
This has an editor rich feature that makes adding your arrows and other effects like text to the capture very easily and painlessly, even your computer illiterate cousin or girl/boy friend (dare I sound bigoted,- the wife) could handle.
This is free and the apps today -superbly written, no memory hogs -so you don't go leaking around -on a stick -capture, most likely are embarrassed that they charged you over a $1.00 USD -when compared to this gem.
I see alot of "oh -try this -or that -or my favorite program ----" -and I know instantly -either by the title or the comment, that the commenter took no effort to even try this app.
nuff said -
But wait.
Thanks for the link to this!
Professionally written program.
My favorite for the desktop, USB, anything I can stick it in.
I hope the reader will see that this developer has quality. Go for this and look at their other stuff.
Most likely worth every cent.
Using FSCapture 5.3 to try and screengrab Mount&Blade, and it's just not working. I can capture everything else, but not the game. Tried another capture program with the same hotkey -- Screen Capture Professional -- and it works.
Has anyone else had trouble capturing screenshots of video games?
